RX-8 Backfiring at Every Shift

Nice video of a Grand AM ST class race at Barber Motorsports Park. Fast forward the video to 12:30 to see the RX-8 in action. Good video overall.

Nice stuff. I love watching that series. Makes me not want to wait any more for Forza 2 to come out.

The Rx-8 held its ground pretty good. It was so loud when they were running neck and neck. Also a bit of contact there....

Great video! I usually hate in-car race videos

Nice video.

That 8 is soo underpowered, was outhandled and outperformed on the straightaway by the rsx.

Legacy driver is a bit weird. Dont know if its the car or his skills but he f'ed up on alot of spots.

Nothing wrong with the driving IMO, very fast at-the-limit driving. Goddamn that RSX was quick.

The Porsche 911 at the end just ate them up.

Yes, that was the leader of the GS class coming through to lap us. All of the cars in that video up to that point (including the Legacy GT camera car) were in the slower ST class.
