And a perfect example is the Mazda RX-8. Its track-proven design, rotary engine and performance engineering reflect a true passion for motorsports. As well as
Mazda’s involvement in no less than 18 distinct club- and pro-level motorsports series. And a brilliant racing heritage that spans four decades. Production-based
race-car owner and veteran Grand-Am GT series driver, Sylvain Tremblay, is even more definitive: “The advantages of the rotary engine are easy to describe: Its
legendary reliability. Its absolute smooth power delivery throughout the rpm range. And its ability to accelerate out of a corner faster than most. In short, the more
you push it, the more it delivers.” And “push it” Sylvain did. Piloting his 3-rotor 400-hp SpeedSource Mazda RX-8 past more than two dozen Porsches and Ferraris
to capture a Grand-Am GT class victory in last year’s hotly contested 2008 Rolex 24 at Daytona. This win gave Mazda its 22nd Daytona-class win. And provides yet
another compelling reason why, on any given weekend, more Mazdas and Mazda-powered cars are road-raced than any other car.* Zoom-Zoom. Forever.
