I just got back from the Mazda Rev It Up tour in L.A., and in addition to seeing the car in person and sitting in it, I picked up a 65 page book on the RX-8. They were giving the book out to everyone who completed the exit survey. It's a "Special Series Road and Track Guide to the Mazda RX-8". I suspect that most of the articles are straight out of Road and Track, but there are some things that look new to me. I haven't been spending much time (30 minutes a month) on the site since the look and demographics changed, so I may have missed some articles.

The contents:

4 The Inside Story - Interview with Noboru Katabuchi, RX-8 program manager
6 Design Dynamics - Sam Mitani
16 Road Test: 2004 Mazda RX-8 (probably a reprint, I know I've read this before)
26 Chassis Technical Analysis
32 RENESIS: A Renaissance of Rotary Power
38 Racing History
48 Star Making (story on a racing series with the Renesis engine in an open-wheeled race car)
52 Driving Adventures (Derek Hill drives through California and Laguna Seca)
62 Aftermarket Magic (about stuff that we might see from the aftermarket)

 

I was wondering what you meant by that??


P.S. Welcome back

 

Rich you can change back to the classic forum look in user control panel.

 

those last three pages sound new and interesting

:D welcome back Rich

 

I just got my copy with my May Road and Track. Very nicely put together.

 

do you think the newsstand r/t will also come with those?
