I've posted some video footage of the 20B #70 RX8 in the Rolex 24hr race. Although it didn't finish it did have some very good laps.

nice. $680,000 and you can own one too.

 

Actually, unless the price has increased substantially, $680k will get you two, plus some spares....


"Being able to offer these high quality components to race teams from a single source simplifies the entire build process. Components ranging from a bare chassis to a complete car can be purchased from SpeedSource. A complete car, including chassis, full drivetrain and engine management system, suspension, wheels, tires and bodywork is priced from $280,000. Comparable racecars are priced higher, yet may provide lower performance."

 

I was so lucky... I got to go to the race... FOR FREE! The only thing I can tell you is that I got the tickets from redbull. Redbull had a tent (huge of course) with all 24 hours worth of catered food, open bar, couches, TVs, fans (didnt need them... perfect weather), and good music. We got tickets to go ANYWHERE expect the hot pit lane. I was so disapointed that all 3 RX8s had problems but the official word I think was one had a fueling issue, another a rear diff issue, and another had rear suspension problems. The black RX8 (forgive me I dont remember details... booze.. cough) was LOUD... every upshift was a huge flaming LOUD backfire. Night was amazing, hot break rotors, sliding (cooler tarmac cause a little sliding), and big flash backfires. Also the GTO-Rs where louder than the Daytona prototypes! I hope I get to go next year
