you never know buddy, you never know ...

in fact yes I think his motor has high mileage ! all the race that he has been thru .... aye yeah I know they rebuild it yada yada, but some parts still came from old stuff u know.

 

I know I know.

but my point is, isnt Synthetic pure evil to rotary? they shouldnt even mention the name on anything thats rotary related isnt it ? especially after the the Castrol dude himself decided to go with rumor instead of testing. They should stay away ! (from rotary, Syntec)

 

Mazda doesn't recommend synthetic engine oil for a street-operated Renesis engine. That doesn't mean it's pure evil, but they obviously have some reason why they say that. They also don't recommend all those mods you made to your RX-8, that didn't stop you though.

 

Most racers use syntetic in theyr cars since the engine is going to be open almost every race

 

The new look and sponsor with Castrol for #70 is pretty cool!

 

Me Too!! but it'll be harder to spot.

Yeah, but you'll be able to hear it coming. I love the sound of those cars. The sound of them screaming by sounds like heaven.

 

they sound even better inside. just get the best ear plugs money can buy, and cover them with a layer or two of duct tape. a bit deafening.
but brilliant sound.



only one more day till qualifying....,.

 

I'll be watching the #30 and all the RX-8s on Speed.

rest well for the 24!

Grand-am is adding online streaming from Cameras on track for the Daytona 24.

I hope the cameras are installed very close to the track, not far away shots like Speed, coz the quality will just suck, and worse at night. If it can be installed beside Turn 1 and in the pits it'd be awesome.

This looks to be a great year for the rx-8!

 

Thx Bern for all. They just have to keep away from those damn Kakazzee Pontiacs.

 

I meant Kamakazzee Pontiacs.

 

Here is a link to some good photographs of the actions so far.

It's been a long 15 years since a RE powered racer won at the Daytona 24, so it's great to see RE power back on top of the GT class. The IMSA glory days seemed so far away!

The SpeedSource boys brought home the SpeedSource/Castrol RX-8 home ahead of a Porsche armada that was unrelenting, it was great to see... Congrats to the whole team! I communicated with John D, of Mazda, and Sylvain, SpeedSource, shortly after the race, and I can not tell you how excited and happy they were.

Guys, please feel free to leave a small message of congratulations to the boys at following the RN.COM story, as we are in direct contact with the SpeedSource squad, and they truly appreciate hearing from all the RE faithful!

We will forward all comments to the boys in the next few days!


A little history:
The win marked the first for a production-based GT-spec Mazda in the race since 1993 when Dick Greer, Al Bacon Peter Uria and Mike Mees took their RX-7 GTU to victory lane. All in all, 22 Mazda-powered entries have now triumphed at Daytona International Speedway.

The historic win also marked an end of an era for one of the manufacturer's archrivals. The 2008 race was the first time that Porsche has not at least won class in the Rolex 24 race since 1993, the year of the last Mazda victory.


Sylvain said told me right after the race.... "today is a win 4 all rotary fans"


Enjoy and Thanks,

-Bern
