Mazda RX-7 race car | evo REVIEW

"This little RX7 might look road-standard, but it's an absolute giant slayer"

Found this review of an 81 RX7 race car. This may have been posted already but the reviewer is very informative on Mazda's racing history with Rotaries and I enjoyed the video. It's very well made. He notes that this car was placed in the same races with 5.7 Camaros and BMW's and won, hands down, which shows the power of our little, off-beat machines. Enjoy...

My full respect, racing in the 80ies so much more hardcore then today. That TWR front spoiler rocks. Later TWR was making a rear wing, not my taste. Thanks for sharing.

I watch this at least once a year since it first made the rounds.
