This makes me very nervous... Because I know Porsche will bitch and moan, so will others... if not a complete BAN there will deffinately be another handicap given to other cars or the 8's will be detuned....

It's sadly ironic that just as the 8 is thoroughly race-developed and consistantly winning - Mazda cancels production.

But those are some awesome pictures - esp the fire shooting ones - and the engine bay sneak peeks!

It's happened before. Heck, it's already happened this year. The Porsche GT3s were given enhancements to shut up TRG , I can't find a link to the weighting change for the Corvettes and the -8s. Last year, Grand-Am kept messing with the RX-8 engine redline to effectively 'de-tune' the car.

^^^ Well technically it's not even an 8... it shares almost nothing with the 8 besides shape and a rotary engine, but you know that, and I get what your saying...

"The Mazda RX-8 is the lightest car, weighing in at 2,200 pounds while the Porsche GT3s must weigh in at 2,700 pounds"

Come on... what's 800lb, an extra rotor with a few extra HP among friends ... eh?

Great pics. Listened at work on line at Grand-Am.com.
Awesome finish for the Speedsource and Dempsey Teams.
Did you hear the interview with Jan Magnussen (Camaro) describing
Lally's driving style when Lally was a lap down and trying to get
some points, knocking cars around and such. Jan was pissed off.

Don't understand why they took Laguna Seca off the schedule this
year. The closest race is Salt Lake for me. That's a 12 hour drive.
