Mazda RX8 Turbo Pit Lane start behind 24 cars to second place! Donington Track Attack

[@TheWHEATISHweet]

Damn, that RX-8 is eating everything in its path

[@Flyingdutchy33]

To be fair, the competition isn't exactly using top notch hardware. I have seen several grandma's who got lost in their 206 and ended up on the track somehow

[@rotariee]

RX8s are too underrated 🥴

[@taackr]

This car not rx8 rivals

[@wellplayedwho9491]

Rx8 but they swap with 20b on rx7 lol. Rx8 engine suck because the they modified new gen into genesis 😂 ngl why many throw away the engine and swap 20b

[@adamsheffield4019]

@@wellplayedwho9491 the fact that you think a 20b comes from an rx7 tells me everything i need to know :D

[@pickles4429]

More entertainment in a 20 minute race than an entire season of f1 (and more overtakes too!) Driver summed up going hard or going home at the end!

[@XoloYT]

rlly underestimated car

[@calebmatthews4365]

Absobloodylutely

[@andrewwright.]

Was for the best....settle for second??? That's not racing. Excellent driver. Great car.

[@carbonseals]

That was a great little race, the RX8 is just a great little car, nice cabin, great sound!

[@explosiveswine7354]

This must be how it felt to drive a 787B at Le Mans... Rotary is truly in a class of it's own

[@swilleh_]

If I'm not wrong based on watching many videos about mazda's win at lemans, 787b actually wasn't the fastest, it was THE most reliable car on the track. They lowered it's power to make it reliable.

[@Jurban5]

That's why I own one. Has sneaky hidden potential that no one would have guessed.

[@calebmatthews4365]

I'm 15, and love this car, dream is to turn one into a hillclimb or track monster, what are your thoughts?

[@ezpz4659]

@@calebmatthews4365 I own a 600hp AMG, and its too fast for the street, so i bought a RX8. The rx8 is so perfect the way it is. Anymore power and you can never enjoy it on the street.

[@rotarycomptech]

No doubt about it I’ve got an 08. I just love to throw it around corners all the car needs is R compound tires, and coilovers

[@AndyFelizfiguereo-o4t]

El rx8 es un auto que poco conocen pero tiene algo increíble que lo conduce y si le mete caña se despierta tengo 7 años con mi rx 8 y cuando le doy caña se pone muy agresivo me gusta y jamás voy a cambiar mi rx 8

[@X7rocks]

I miss my rx8 so much.

[@giorx5]

There is the smooth operator in a great car! Great drive in a great vehicle! RX8 is a tremendously good-handling car even at stock form. And it was surely oil on wet tarmac that would spin you so violently when you got on brakes.

[@blutygergaming8789]

I love RX-8. Someday I'll get mine dialed in. Bit by bit

[@Xayuap]

this is how cars should sound

[@lengerer]

Wow, some nice metal in this race! I own a rx8 and na mx5. Owned a mk1 golf. Would love a Clio and Subaru...... I’d take any of these vehicles!

[@r1yamahamini]

I have been persisting with my Renesis since I bought my RX8 GT new 11 years ago.. I have made more than double stock power but have had many failures .... Every time I have addressed a problem there is another one.... $210,000 (usd) dollars later I have another failed Renesis turboed engine...I have been trying to learn to tune it myself...On E85 (with the extra knock margin) it has run fine, but when I run it on 98 it always detonates. . . .

[@racingbeateurope]

Unfortunately the Renesis engine does not turbo very well.

[@lengerer]

I’ve read you can’t go over 7 psi boost to maintain reliability

[@r1yamahamini]

@@lengerer ... Oh ok,, I have run 22psi on E85 but It didn't last too long when I took it to the track and went flat out all day. I have rebuilt it again. I tracked it again a week ago and change the waste gate to a tiny chinese one but it would barley hold 4-5psi on 98 fuel. Even so I was almost keeping up with Ferraris anyway plus it never detonated. I have changed it back to a proper waste gate and now it is runs perfect. I'm taking it back to the track in a week and will run 7psi, I have retuned it and it still doesn't knock at 7psi:) on 98. I will upload a video of how it does.

[@lengerer]

@@r1yamahamini good luck! We have a very healthy rotary scene here in Australia with many experienced and highly regarded mechanics. Even so, it's rare to see a turbo rx8.

[@BallanOff]

Turblown engineering have made an hybrid Renesis/REW that's outputing 600+ WHP, you might want to look into that

[@mcgreen6882]

Likely the RX-8's 1.3L is smallest engine in the race. It most likely was also banned from future races too.

[@valentvell]

Don’t challenge rx8 in cornering

[@bolin38jg]

RX8 on the rain " hold my beer "🤣

[@garydeandeery]

Donnington was my best drive last November

[@crscover6124]

THE TOP KEN BLAST

Thoroughly enjoyed that!

[@racingbeateurope]

Thank you

[@terryhsiao1745]

Can you share some of the builds that went into making this great machine?

[@maxtheyouth]

reminds me of my mazda 1992 famila bpt, similar bov sound , its was an HKS

[@mineigshi]

Everything went so well until 17:00 ... shame... But what a good chance! This race proved that you can get more speed or HP by removing one windscreen wiper XD Really wanna know what set up it is on his car. Did he use some FD's bit or it's a complete swap? It doesn't sound like a normal Renesis, port wise.

[@racingbeateurope]

It is an FD RX7 engine 13B REW

[@mineigshi]

@@racingbeateurope Saw that in one of the comment before. Thx for confirming it.

[@adinlouw]

grear race. pity about the spin..doesnt even look like itvwas driven in anger. I do realise the track is slippery.

[@garydeandeery]

Love it mate

[@lex_4242]

Is it a 13msp?

[@DanMarcelino]

Nope, it’s a REW lol

[@MrVulgax]

It's a rew single turbo around 400hp

[@sitinurahmah878]

noooo its 13b msp not rew its 13b msp turbo

[@RedLine_Renesis]

Sounds like a REW engine.

[@DanMarcelino]

This is such a satisfying video.. too bad it ended the way it did, oh well.. I too am wondering if it’s a 13b MSP or REW????

[@DanMarcelino]

nvm I learned its a REW go figure haha

[@e.r.6147]

Is this Australia?

[@edwinclairmonte4984]

Actually when to first be was rear ended

[@Danny-qh2de]

is this a renesis 13b msp or 13b rew?

[@BeyondEllisBeck]

Most likely a 13b-Rew. Too bad though, I wish the Renesis could be just as friendly with boost.

[@DaveSpecC]

Fast car beats slow cars.. wow

[@federicor.4813]

All of this to go out... Anyway good race

[@RETMTM]

Devo.

[@tshlk]

What happened there?

[@racingbeateurope]

It started raining just minutes before the race started. I knew I wouldn't get anywhere on slicks so decided to change tyres to wets but knew I wouldn't make the start in time so had to start from the pit lane. Went from last to second and challenged for the lead on the final corner only to spin on oil left offline by a car in the race before.

[@tshlk]

@@racingbeateurope It was great racing!
