the car is a 20b power RX-8 build by tamborine


Yes, we are the same team that had the Miata at the 24hr in 2001, but missed the field due to a piece of metal in the fuel regulator during the last sesson. We did run a few more races at Mid Ohio and Road America before deciding that we just could not compete against the Porsche's, V8 BMW's and the Mosler's.

Our car will be different from the Golden's in the basic design. We are building a tube frame chassis and hanging the sheet metal body on it. We are not starting with a tub car. Also, we will be using a transaxle with IRS. We will attempt to make the 24 hr. but prefer to sort and test before bringing the car out.

I am very excited about returning to the GT class in the Grand Am and feel the cars has great potential to be a front runner.

I too remember the great days in the 1980's. Mazda had over 100 wins in IMSA. Hopefully we can start a new decade of success.

Is this Ron Tamborine? He used to race RX7's.
I wish you good Luck and much success.

 

I hope this guys can kick porches a%#$$^$ in gt.

The new Pettit tube-framed, 20B powered, Downing Carbon Fiber bodied car will make it's debut at Daytona as well

 

 

next year is going to be fun!!!!

 

boostd7 I hear that speedsource is builtding a 20b power car to race in gs? now anything about it?

 

Cool article, thanks for posting. Interesting rules.

And, at least Burd Phillips knows he is an idiot for hating Porsche.

 

Trade secret eh? Funny, I have had a couple things modeled using a CMM. Not much of a trade secret.

 

Very cool! I'll be looking forward to watching that.

Still hoping to see an Rx-8 in ALMS GT2 and/or speed world challenge. Might be tricky with thier rules, but it would be awesome to see it up there with the big dogs.

 

SpeedSource is building 2, Spencer is having 1 built as well. The 24 should be cooler this year because of the 8's presence.

 

marietta, the cars speedsource is building are going to race in gs or in the rolex gt ? the one that david spencer is building should be for alms?

 

That article is almost a year old. Any more recent photos or info?

 

last I hear was they dind't have a spomsor, this is an old article but a good one:

I didn't think they could run the RX-8 in ALMS, I thought ALMS rules stated the vehicles must be two door vehicles?

 

one of the builders of the golding brotther car used to post here under the user name "MSR20" hes name is scott, I send him a pm hope he answers.

 

Sorry, I have not been keeping up with the site lately. Goldin Brothers Racing will be at the Rolex again this year. We tested the car a few months back at Sebring working on chassis setup. Right now the car is undergoing full rebuild along with a few changes. Hopefully, we will be testing again soon in preparation for the Rolex.

We are still looking for sponsors. If you or someone you know is interested, please let me know?

Thanks
Scott

 

To add another comment... I have a quick video clip from sebring testing. If there is a place I can load it on this site, please let me know.
