I really wish mazda the best. They developed a rocket ship.
We should all appreciate IMSA turning up the Wick on the DPIs

[YouTubeSafetyTroll]

Now it's as fast as it looks. Good stuff.

[Miatayo]

That's quite impressive for a 2.0l 4 cylinders.

[Ducksauce]

Now it just needs to hold it for 26 years.

[OceanSeaMaster]

Finally a perfect BoP.
And the race was a constant battle between 6 cars of different manufacturers

That would be awesome. Imagine having a stream of this race with that POV (or even better; 360 cams) in any of the cars along with the same telemetry info on the right as this vid, which you the viewer could switch between your fav drivers or lead cars at will.

I witnessed the qualifying lap of PJ Jones at Daytona. For its time, it's remarkable!!! If the MKIII had the latest technology and paddle shifting, I think they would still hold their record. I'm a huge fan of Toyota's GTP program and I'm proud of their achievement but records are meant to be broken. Way to go Mazda!

*LET'S GO MAZDA!!*
Do us Miata owners proud!

Great work turning this team around, I just hope they make it to the the past they have always dropped out early.

Flew through the bus stop like it was nothing 😀

[Fitch]

Impressive considering he only topped out at 193.xxx mph whereas the Eagles were topping well over 210.

[Casey_J]

Incredible lap. Stupid question, what are the red lights towards the center of the dash? Traction control maybe? Only seemed to light up in the tighter turns.

[brandoncovington]

Mazda sure as hell knows how to make a proper race car.

[CorreQueTeGorreo]

Men, the Toyota Eagle was a beast. Has a Turbo so big that create a black smoke come out from the exhaust. Such a boost.

[pedroa.baptista]

Damn, 5 years... Such a shame we didn't see an Mazda GTP, would be so nice a RT25-P...

[Her-Maker]

Sad to see that Mazda obviously doesn't invest R&D into the Rotary anymore. It's a breath of fresh air to see a quirky, small company gettin it done their own unique way. It's just the pole & not a podium so Im not gonna jinx them.

[deggis]

The bus stop was a bit different, tighter and slower in 1993.

[threefiftyz]

Pretty great lap time...even though he Nico Rosberg'd (missed the apex) a couple of turns on the infield...

[sirchin]

Can someone explain why the 1993 record wasn't broken sooner?? Did they absolutely nerf the cars after that year or something

[calvinbocanegra]

Anybody know what those lights are on the very front by the windshield? Curiosity killing me here.
