Britcar 24 Hour race

12th September 2006

Last weekend's Britcar 24 Hour Endurance Race at Silverstone saw all three Mazda RX-8s that finished last year's 24-hour race complete the round-the-clock marathon of flat-out racing for the second consecutive year.

The Mazda RX-8’s rotary engine proved its durability as the three production cars could completed the 24-hour endurance, covering a distance of 1,597 miles without missing a beat.

Fifty-two cars started the race at 5pm on Saturday with thirty-five making it to the finish at 5pm Sunday including all three Mazda RX-8 Race Cars.
