really, really cool pictures! thank you for adding them. Sepang is a crazy high speed circuit with those two long straights on either side of the main grandstand. Lots of rotors in those shots!

dude, very hard to explain in words.... It was simply awesome..... High speed straights, hairpin corners, and a mix of very high speed long sweeping corners etc etc etc........ Think bout it, getting to test the limits or our 8's on a track built for F1 cars.....

Corners are definately the Rx8's forte....... Way faster thru corners that the FD's....

Really... I would have never guessed an RX-8 would carry a lot more speed than an FD. I assumed an FD would stomp an 8 around every part of the track
