THe roster of rotarys vehicles has increased for this years series and all of the Mazda RX-8 are running 20B's.

Speedsource # 69, # 70



Goldwin Brothers Racing # 08
Racer's Edge Motorsports # 30

Hypersport # 40

Team Spencer Motorsports # 48

Also Speedsource (www.speedsourceinc.com) has joined with castrol and is rocking a new paint scheme (http://grand-am.com/News/Article.asp?ID=9417)

I will keep track of the Rolex GT series on the NYRA website (http://nyrotary.com/Pages/racingevents.htm)

Last years coverage can be found here: http://nyrotary.com/Pages/Rolex_GT_Series_2007.htm Mazda almost came in in the top 3 poll positions but after a crash during the final race dropped them down to fourth, so lets lend our support.

I had no idea they were allowed to run 3 rotors!

ROTARYROCKET7

yeah speedsource had 1 car with the 3 rotor last y ear the #70. This year they allowed all of them to use it. Since speedsource built a few of those cars, they are comparable to speedsources RX-8's.

So ant come early on sat so we can watch it. Josi is coming early and so is john iight.

We can do this as long as Ant keeps his hands to himself.

They just had a GREAT shot of the #70 car running wot...you could see the exhaust glowing red and a nice little blue hued flame coming out of it!!!!

they sound nice in the pits too...I was wondering how much power they were making untill I saw the "theyre all running 20b".

John64

I'm wondering when theyre gonna throw the unfair advantage flag? lol

Its a great achievement to beat a bone stock GT3 cup car hands down! Reliability in motorsports is the rotary's strenght, not fuel efficiency and emissions! :p
