MZR is a great engine, efficient and powerful but definitely kicks tradition and expectations out the door.

Well, regardless of engine, I hope they kick *** anyways. If they do, who knows maybe they would consider LeMans.

But dammit, the boinger sounds like a diesel compared to the rotary
Ohh well maybe one day we will se another Rotary on Sarthe, I know I'll be there.
