> [@yamba6](#): > > I’m curious to hear about this report and how it did. > > This car really is peaking my interest. Never really looked into a Diesel car, but this one looks fantastic with the body lines they decided to choose for it. Something about the front end just finally looks right and not the stupid smile the cars had the past generation. From what i recall Speed source is the only team that is planning to campaign the car for a full season. There was also to be more of those cars there also that didn’t make it for testing. (not a suprise if SS could not get the car reliable yet that others could not also.) From speed sources FB page Sid Abel - “They had a very rough start to the weekend. Problems plagued the car all day Friday and most of Saturday. In true Mazda spirit the team did not give up and by Saturday evening the car was finally on track logging some laps. They were back out on track again today and were turning some very respectable lap times for a brand new car.” Boring short vid of the car.

Boring vid for sure, but this car has some very nice body lines to it. Nice to see they turned it around and are getting respectable times now. Still early for the car, lets see how it does come a few months from now. ---

I think that they are going to have there work cut out for themselves racing against the Porsche Cayman’s. Pretty much the same car as the ST, but with a seq gearbox and more power more tire… They are going to Dominate the class. we will also see what will happen with the Lotus program… They cold not even make the test.
