Daytona 24Hr & the RX-8

Here is a quick look at the RX8s at Daytona FL. Flame on!


The fastest of the RX-8s is the SpeedSource Mazdaspeed entry. It took 6th place in GT class! That's an amazing effort considering the competition.

It's not exactly a fair race these days. http://www.grand-am.com/ rules have changed a bit meaning the 3 rotor RX8s are a bit down in the pack.

GT class cars include GT3 spec Porsche and Ferrari. Full results here.

 Florida resident and fellow rotary fan, Rob, was kind enough to send us some images.

Night time shooting is always tough. But sunset is great for lighting.

I like the curves on this!

Some interesting sponsor selections on these cars. Fishing and Bicycles. Superstar Patrick Dempsey also donating some space for a drive. http://dempseychallenge.com/

Anyway, FLAMES we like FLAMES!

The Rotaries always fulfill the need.

Makes me want to visit Florida.

24 hours is a long time.

You need some of these.



This isn't stock... But you need this too.

And one of these monsters.

You need a few drivers and support crew and about 5 million dollars.

I think I'll enter next year...

Tokyo Auto Salon 2012 - pREview

Perfection, Maturity, Madness, Dumped, Drifted, Styled and Conceived. Some of the words you might hear in the next few days and weeks from RE-Xtreme as we go in detail through the cars of TAS 2012.

These shots are just a quick look through the camera.

Some things you will want to see more of.

Some with new ideas.

Some with a new take on old topics.

Limits are explored in every direction.

From the daily street lifestyle...

To the drift crazy mad bull extremes.

There was a lot going on, new, old, tried and tested.

Somethings maybe you shouldn't test.

And boundaries pushed all the way.

Sometimes the scene is surreal.

And sometimes it's very real.

I look forward to bringing you all these and much more from Tokyo Auto Salon...
