It's probably just a custom widebody made by mazda racing for that particular race series.... It has suttle similarities as the FD, but nothing that would stand out to say they used an FD front end.

Mariah Motorsports sells the privateer bodykit that was used by Roger Mandeville and team Highball. Its a little bit more that $5000 and is designed for tube chassis cars, and I want it really bad.

Mandeville Auto Tech


Team Highball

Are most of the mazda rotary race cars.... N/A or Turbo? If so... mainly 20B or 26B? or some 13B in the "big leage" racing...

Most big time racing cars, like this IMSA car, the 767 and 787 are either 13G (peri 3 rotor) or 13J 26B (peri 4 rotor).
