The future of Mazda
We can all see that the effort of Mazda in the ALMS with the car they have is over. We know that the AER engine has to go to P1 next year and If they can't fight with the Honda or a 3 year old Porsche this year, then how can they even dream of bringing the fight to Audi and Peugeot next year? We all saw that Lola didn't put the AER "Mazda want to be" engine as an option for next years LMP2 car and I dont see why Mazda should continue with that joke. I can't understand why Mazda Corp lets Mazda North America race a car that has never done anything but brake down. If Mazda wants to do something serious in the ALMS they have to get involve, not just let Mazda North America continue to embarrass the brand with that car. A rotary engine from Japan, gas or nitrogen, a serious team with 2 serious drivers, not just the owners son, at least some input in their chassis like Aston did and simply their involvement is the only way they will be taken as a serious thread, but we know that's not going to happen, so the future is not looking very good.
