Mazda race car lines

I was poking around to find info on the upcoming 24 Hours of Daytona (this weekend!), and, as I always being interested in Mazda, looked up their current entry machine:



Pretty slick, even with some Photo work.
The paint color.

Side view is more predictable, as they all pretty much look the same in that class:

Looking for the naked version, always impressed by the sheer visual muscle factor.

It looks almost as good as my Miata.

interesting tidbit: An outfit called Multimatic does all the chassis work (design, production) for a number of racing programs, including this Mazda, and some Fords.

So, this race car is a much a Multimatic as a Mazda!

Like in much of racing, there is a story behind a given branding.

It looks almost as good as my Miata.

i was gonna say the same thing about my ‘08 Mazda 6!

It looks almost as good as my Miata.

Yes, the new one has incredible lines, a classic with modern bits.
It is the new Datsun 240Z/280Z.. or the Triumph or MG that could have been!

Extra: poking around, I found references to carburetors makers Zenith, Solex.
Who knew that Mikuni was licensing from Solex?
