Turn Up Your Speakers and Watch This Mazda RX-7 Racer

OK, folks.  Couldn't resist.  This car, is amazing! The Tom Walkinshaw Mazda RX7, that won the 1981 Spa 24 Hours at Circuit de Spa Francorchamps, shared by Tom Walkinshaw, himself, and Pierre Dieudonne. Win Percy and Pete Lovett drove a second one, that was a DNF after a broken wheel. But, this little car, was the giant killer, besting the big cars (Ford Capri 3.0 liter's, BMW 528 I's, and Chevrolet Camaro's), and small cars (VW Scirocco's, Audi 80's and 4000's, Ford Escort's, and VW Golf's).

This is a sports car, a GT car, that beat a field of what were essentially, touring cars, as the Spa 24 was, for many years, exclusively a touring car event, before switching over to GT class racing, in 2001.
