So I was on google searching for more FC pictures for my desktop background and I came across a GTO spec RX7 FC Racecar. Does anyone have any information on this. Here's a picture I came across along with caption:



For the 1990 racing season, Audi disappeared back to Germany, but a new contender was already waiting in the wings: Mazda Motorsports and their new GTO spec RX7 FC.

 

I believe Mariah made the bodywork, not sure who built the chassis, there was one for sale not too long ago.

 

Chassis was a tube frame designed by Lola, and I believe the body was made by either Fabcar or Jim Downing

 

Fabcar might have built the chassis, but Dave doesnt usually work in composites. Downing did, and he might have had the bodies made. Pretty sure it was Mariah though, since they still sell the bodywork-

This is the Mariah kit,. I am pretty sure Downing made the body, I think I remember asking him about it over the phone. but i could be wrong

 

Side note- I really love the clean look of the Mazda GTO paintwork on the 63 car. When/if I repaint the FC I might have to copy it-

 

Jim Downing usually raced #63.
