rotary racing

[pinhead1]

maybe some of you would like to see some rotary racing.
the drivers say these are a beast to drive.
the top runners are fully modified with 75mm turbos and the works.
some have more than 1 turbo.

Wow, the handling on those suckers looks absolutely dreadful.

thanks for showing a little interest.
i'm interested in the new technology and watching what direction regulations and auto makers are going.
looks like auto makers everywhere are going electric by 2030-2035.
a network of charging stations need to be built all across the country.

Mazda is bringing back the rotory engine.
here's some videos @YT.
i have not watched them all yet.
there is even a link to "Elon musk bought Ford" down the page..
i have not watched it yet.

Oh, I didn't realise these were rotary engines. Now I get it.

I wonder if modern tech will be able to overcome the traditional limitations? I would guess so, if it's true that Mazda is willing to bring the engines back.

I would think nationwide electric refueling stations could be a problem, as there will likely be a good chunk of red states who will oppose the stations simply because they're 'progressive.'
