Yes, no, eh, maybe...

Your link says:
Rotary Reliability & Racing
2608 S. Harbor Blvd.
Santa Ana, Ca. 92704
USA

But the RX-8 is a Belgian vehicle. That KillerBee is based near Antwerp.

Never understood how two different people on both sides of the ocean can use the same logo... who is the original and who is the faker...

the engine was US built based on a locally purchased 20B engine.

The chassis is a heavyle modified tubular spaceframe from the local Renault Megane cup (you don't have those cars in the US)

Killer bee's is a Belgian rotary fanatics 'shop' although they have no official business.

One of the drivers will probably the one that was racing the green RX7 FD I posted in other threads as the RX7 FD chassis will no longer be homologated for FIA GT racing unless new crash test would be done accoriding the regulations of nowadays.
