Now we got domes on wheels

that wing position is banned too

Have seen this irl, sounds amazing.

same happened to ski jumping after Japanese dominated

''wow you actually make a useful car that is fast, and reliable and highly aerodynamic? Fuck it it's banned, here we will let audi dominate with their hybrid domes''

Tbh though I wonder if Mazda will ever return with rotary engines

>> they ban the motor for being reliable and over powered
Not what happened. The motor was already banned the year it competed under the new WSC regs. The ACO only allowed the old Group C cars so that it they will fill up the grid.

>> Mazda goes to shit
They've always been shit. '91 Le Mans was the only race the Mazda Group C program would ever win and it was only because they were allowed to run 400lbs lighter than any other car on the grid. Even after they backed out of WSC and went to IMSA, the RX-792P (which also used the R26B) was just as mediocre as the cars before it.

The only somewhat successful sportscar prototype Mazda ever had was the Dyson Lola-Mazda in the 2011 ALMS which used an MZR-based engine. Other than that, Mazda has been pretty shit. In 2017, they've even dropped out of IMSA halfway through the season because of how bad their DPi was doing.

this

mazda has never been great, and lets face it you all know this car and pic related due to gran turismo 3

Rotary engine in rx mazdas. you'll need a complete rebuild after 70,000-80,000 miles. enjoy your $23,000 car after 2 years into a $3,000 car.

>costs as much as your average timing belt replacement
>takes about as much time
>except you also end up with a nearly brand new engine
Yeah man rotary engines are terrible

>doesn't count because my feelings get hurt
