I hope Mazda has better luck running their diesels in these prototypes. They had miserable reliability with the diesel sedans. They look nice in the new livery. That R8 looks sweet, wonder how many other's are jumping from the good ship Porsche?
No....I'm not going to let it go....it sucks that they won't be at Mid-Ohio this year. Still following the series though.

A Shake-N-Bake tribute from Canadian white boy race driver Kyle Marcelli. If you ain't first you're last! Thanks Ricky Bobby for your inspiration. At 23, Marcelli is one of the youngest drivers who will compete in the Tudor United Sports Car Championship this year. He's been driving in the American Le Mans Series since 2010, picking up three wins and 13 podiums. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx6BUawmMSE]Ricky Bobby Tribute - YouTube[/ame]
