1st And 3erd !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

YAHOOOOOOO.....Good one! 70 and 69 both podium finishes

 

Stupid job! I missed it. Does anyone know if they are reairing this race?

 

^^Wednesday I think.....

TIVO or a VCR are your friend!

 

Wow...just watched the replay on my DVR...22 seconds ahead of the pack! Other drivers in non-Mazda cars stating "the Mazda's gonna be trouble all year" and "Maybe something will happen to the Mazda" in order to give them a chance at beating it.

I love it!

 

Could you upload those videos on You Tube?. I wanna see!.

 

Yeah I would love to see this. I can't find any articles about the win.

 

Yeah, It was quite fast at Daytona but the raw power of the 911's gave them an advantage on the high banks. Any course that does not reward pure horsepower the RX8 will be hard ,if not impossible, to beat if it does not break.

 

Unless I miss my guess, Grand Am is a NASCAR affiliated series. As such, I expect the RX8s will be penalized if they continue to outclass the field. That is, of course, a big if. Regardless, it would be great to see the RX8s race. I don't think they come to the upper midwest. Maybe the cars will be adapted to the ALMS rules, they race at Road America.

 

i wanna see vids!!!

 

Yes, videos please.

 

AFAIK Grand Am is not affiliated with Nascar. If they blow the field away by 22secs every race then they will get rule changes.

 

Where's the video?.

 

congrats speedsource!!!

 

I fully expect to see both SS Mazda's take podium finishes at Lime Rock Park this year which I plan on attending. May 28th is the date I believe.

Road courses will be their strength this year for sure as they can't compete with the porche's high end power on high banks and long straightaways.

 

Grand Am runs nothing but road courses actually.

They ran the rod course at Daytona which includes most of the oval track. They were just under powered for that track and they have to go back again later this year.

Also, on a related note. The Renesis based 20b that powers these cars sounds amazing.

 

Actually they are a 13G based 20B with Renesis sprinkles on top. It's not a Renesis and it's not based on one.

 

its actually isnt renesis based

and GrandAm is owned by NASCAR

It says based on the street engine. Oh well, you know better than I.

what are these Renesis sprinkles?

 

Thats for SURE! IF you get a chance to get out and watch one of these races in person, take it. I was lucky enough to see them at Daytona 24hrs. I was in AWE of the wonderful wide-open wail these RX8s produce. Sent shivers up and down your spine, made your arm-hairs stand on end, brought a smile to the face of young and old alike. Listening to them ramp up onto the throttle going into the Nascar curves was just plain inspiring!

IMHO: The rotaries in the GT race sound like Formula 1 engines being surrounded by farm vehicles. The Porsche 6 cyl and Pontiac/Lexus/??? V8s sound like high performance trucks. Really funny when the Daytona Prototype class engine notes are indistinguishable from the GT Porsches and Pontiacs following them.

 

They have been very vague on the specifics of the engine internally but have hinted that the rotors themselves are "based" off of Renesis rotors. Whatever the hell that means? That doesn't make it a Renesis though. It's the housings and porting configuration that do that.

 

Anyone have an upload or a Bittorrent for this?
