Ok, more pictures....
Some maybe out of sequence, but you'll get the idea. During the evening I made a couple trips back into the garages to get an update on casualties of the race. I've got some pictures and explanations from those as well. Pre race prep: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...t/IMG_3053.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...t/IMG_3054.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...t/IMG_3055.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...t/IMG_3056.jpg Here's the configuration with the oil coolers closer in: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...t/IMG_3057.jpg I love the graphics on these cars: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...t/IMG_3058.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...t/IMG_3060.jpg The Edge Racing RX-8: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...t/IMG_3059.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...t/IMG_3062.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...t/IMG_3061.jpg More of my love. I gotta have one of these.... http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...t/IMG_3065.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...t/IMG_3066.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...t/IMG_3067.jpg The Sahlen's guys were very nice and talkative too. Told me that the only GM part on that car is the engine and they rebuild that as soon as they get it. The rear end is a Ford. That made me laugh. :) http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...t/IMG_3064.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...t/IMG_3063.jpg |

That is my friend in car #75... He doesn't drive a Mazda tho... He finished 6th, I think he beat every RX-8 in ST... |
Who do you know on the #75? I know Karl and the gang, use to live right around the corner from the shop. On my way back from Petit last year we ran in to each other in line at Duty Free at one in the morning, they were on their way home from VIR.

I would LOVE to see some Rotary Power at this years 24 Hour LeMans - LIVE
That's right i'm going to the LeMans for the third time :fawk: |
coooll pics,
so what are the specs of the RX8s are they 20B tripple rotors or are they custom tripples rotors, eg are they using custom shafts with FD Housings and plates? |
All of the Mazda RX-8s competing in the ROLEX GT Series are fitted with a 3 rotor Mazda R20B engine, based directly off of the street going Mazda RX-8.

Mazda USA reference to RX-8 GT 3 Rotor Renesis |
The 20b's used in Rolex GT share SOME components and technology of the Renesis generation rotary. Much of what is being used to win has been understood for some time. You can call Sylvain tomorrow, or Steve Sanders and they'll tell you it's a Renesis 3-rotor but they wouldn't be telling you the entire truth.
