Keech, because of you I'm sharing these photos with everyone on this forum.
Or at least I'm going to try to.( It's been a while).

 

How about some background on these photos? Thanks Ceramicseal!

 

These were taken less than two weeks ago at Atlanta Motor Speedway. They are of the 1991 IMSA GTO Championship winning RX-7. It has just been refreshed by Downing Atlanta at the request of Mazda North American. The Downing team were originally the folks who campaigned and maintained it and it's twin.
The driver in the photos is Jim Downing himself and of course the car is equipped with a 26b 4 rotor motor. We recently did an audio phile that got ruined so the least I can do is provide some photos. The AMS shots were taken by Rick Engman the engine builder who has done about 50 of these.

 

so what does this have to do with wakeech?

 

The answer is buried in this not too long thread: https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-media-news-11/autoweek-mazda-return-sports-car-racing-34705/

Ceramicseal, too bad that audio file was ruinied...

 

That car has been the subject of many wet dreams ...

So where is it now? I'd love to do a photo shoot for RX Tuner Magazine.

 

Mazda took it back to California last week tuesday. It should be at Sevenstock. They also took the RX-2 in the pictures. That's the famous 'Car and Driver RX-2', the first rotary car to win races in US. It belongs to Mr.Downing.
Ryan, we'd love to have you do an article or two on some very interesting rotary cars.

 

And I'd love to do an article or two ... of course, I'd need to drive them to give the proper impressions in the story

 

wow, thanks so much CS!! ...and only took me two days to notice... :o

amazing pictures.

 

26b...4 rotor? Incredible.

 

The R26B was also used in the Mazda 787B LeMans race car.

 

GREAAAAAT stuff..

 

That car is nuts. I love the old school mesh wheels. :D
