they are going to focus on GT, it is a rumor but is almost for sure

mazda thinks there is nothing more to get out of ST, and the rules changes have made it very dificult for the RX-8 to race there.

Ohhh thats cool, I thought grand-am is taking the RX-8 outta the ST class...

They should do pretty well in GT class, I watched all the races and they are quite fast!!

Sorry if its been answered before, but is the RX8 in GT class running a restrictor plate?

I think they dont use a restrictor, they can keep up with the v8 and faster than many and the porches, but lets see what they say
