RX-8 Macau Grand Prix Road Race
 

It was back in Nov 21 2009, the video came online not long ago.

This Video shows how the Knight Sports Rx-8 took the 2nd place (he started at 20th something)

RX-8, 500 ps Turbo.

Mind you guys, the car actually crashed on the qualification, but Knight Sports people fixed the whole thing overnight and took the 2nd place .. :)

Damn I love that sound ...

Damn! That's a tight track.

Most of the "road/track" that you see are actually "real street roads"

they just block/close off a huge chunk of the street roads for the event (every year)

That also explains why the KC Racing R35 (GT-R) crashed on the first Corner. ROFL. when it was approaching the first corner I was like hey isn't that a little too fast ? (GT-R had crazy fast acceleration)

then the car under steer and Boom. DNF. LOL

Speaking of the GT-R, KC Racing spent quite a lot of time and money on it, with PPG Gears, specially tuned suspension, a lot of custom shit. oh well.

I was there when it happen ... ahhh that Rotary sounds freaking sexy in person :)

nycgps, thanks for posting the vids! Great race and the track is so tight. So you watched the race live?

pretty much :)

Thanks for posting. Very fun to watch.
The sound of the straight-cut gearing(?) sounds really cool.

yeah,

too bad those gears are not very good for street use :(

Is that a clutchless gearbox? You just bang the gears?

These were posted a couple weeks ago but if there is ever a best repost ever this is it,,,
That 13B is badass,,,,,

Is that the same 13B-MSP Renesis engine you get on a regular 8 but with turbo and some other mods?

Its 13B-REW I believe.

As of this writing, I do not believe there is any 13B-MSP that can go 500 ps without blowing up on streets. Not even talking about Racing.

Thanks NY...

Gearbox sounds like a Holinger..

Well supposedly Esmeril hit the 500whp mark with their one off 13B-MSP turbo set up and porting. No real proof though :( .
