Im watching the Dolphin game right now but for thoseof you who get the SPEED channel - the Grand Am series (which a few Rx8s are apart of) is on at 3PM EST. Just a friendly reminder

 

thanks for the heads up

 

Let those of us without the SPEED channel (me) know how the RX-8's did!

Thanks for posting this.

I finally get to see some RX8's Race against other cars on a track.

Also the fact that the RX8 Commercial came on makes it even better.

 

I stopped watching the race b/c it got reallyboring. Just wantedto see the Rx8s w/the Mazdaspeed bodykits anyway. Theyre not even covering the category that the Rx8s are in as much as they are covering the faster category that has the Porsche911 350z M3 etc. Its kind of disappointing that the Rx8s cant race in the faster category. (Oh and the Dolphins finally won theirfirst game).

 

You shouldn't be dissapointed. The Speedsource 8's have won 4 races, and may very well win today. They are only 18 points out of the championship, and all this during the first year of racing the 8!!! There are not that many cars that could come out and be that competative in their very first year of racing.

 

YES that's a win for the 8. I was incorrect about their # of wins....Today was 4. Still 4 out of 9 is damn good!

 

8 for teh WiN!!!1!!1

 

They are getting better and better...it has the least amount of torque on the field and stills proves its chassis ability.

 

I've watched a couple races and just as Jerky said they don't cover the GS group that much, but I enjoy it anyways. I was surprised that it isn't in the same class as the 350, I didn't realize that the 2 were that far off from each other. Still the 8's are having a great year!

 

What I didnt understand was how the 350z managed to keep up w/those Porsches so well

 

They are in the same class the regulations set it up that way.

Speed championship had a mazda protogue beat m3's and s4's...
