Rx7 vs Rx8 - Tsukuba 5 laps Battle

[@LightGesture]

This is the most Japanese anouncer voice Ive ever heard. Hands down.

[@Lexquisite]

I believe its a sequential gearbox. Sounds like straight-cut gears too. That whine is crazy, makes my spine tingle.

[@chinchy111]

soo many spinning doritos

NA8の音が好きすぎる

[@haraldtoepfer233]

like in heaven for me, woow... I love the sound of the RX-7, so outstanding.

[@TimothyDanielson]

Love the sound of a 3Rotor engine! sounds like the DarthVader version of the rotary engine. Maybe... that has more to do with the shiny black interior. Love it.

[@NorthernSkiAndCycle]

People don't realize that tuners have had 20 years to develop parts/modify rx7's while they only had half that time for rx8's. The rx8 is also a great chassis to work with as you can tell by two of them having the fastest lap times.
The sound in this video is music to my ears. I'd love to know if there was a series that raced strictly rotary engines.

[@RyoTanThe_3rd]

シーケンシャル勢のオンボードまじで興奮する

[@worldpeace8824]

Even if all the Rx7's lost, we'd still pick the FD! A true 90's legend with a timeless design!

[@gtlegacy8]

Random stock rx 8 in the race.

[@eileencritchley4630]

I love the RX7' FD and the FC convertable turbo2's. I believe the USA didn't get the FC convertable turbo version.
Raced against my hubbies Modified FC convertable Turbo 2 a few times, we'd even swap cars to race as well. Love them, love them.

[@Hydropanic1]

Look, everyone has their own taste about their own personal favourite cars. No need to lash on each other because the FD is better and faster than the RX-8 or vice versa... Everybody has their own opinions and you just have to respect that. If you wanna argue about that atleast come with reasoning why that car is better that car etc... and have a peaceful discussion. I've always loved the RX-7 since childhood, but I also liked the RX-8 aswell because they're both rotaries. There are sure some differences with these two rotaries beasts, but please, don't seek after war only because of which car is more superior than the another...

[@dankttnr]

Never seen so many flames popping in one race before but that many rotaries i am not suprised :P

[@eldominicano217]

these guys are jdm as fuck

[@NateRist]

+eldominicano217 Yes i'm sure most of them are Japanese domestic market cars, not sure on the LHD one though

[@sgtpepper89117]

I live about a hour and a half drive from Tsukuba circuit. Getting a car as a foreigner in Japan is ridiculously difficult if your not the son of a wealthy businessman or politician. One day though... one day...

[@richiesworld1]

Just noticed the rear vision camera in Kikuchi's RX8.. Nice!

[@user-fn5zw2vq4v]

レボリューションの8が左ハンドルなのは3ローターに載せ換えるために構造上左ハンドルにしないと載せ換えれないからだったかな？

[@adgjmptw1168]

エキゾーストの熱を避けるためとかなんとか

[@LEMON3705]

i love the panspeed rx8 engine sound!!!

[@lzhmax]

Revolution and Panspeed RX8 actually set the best time...Awesome

[@Kamukix]

while I agree it was sad to see no fc3s represented here, I completely disagree that the rx-8 is fugly. I absolutely love that freakin car.
but hey, we all have our own opinions :)
Kei

[@yagam1]

cold winter + high octance level = spit flames like there is no tommorrow .

[@sgtpepper89117]

Most of the cars on the field, including the RX8s like the Pan Speed which I believe was an NA 2 rotor setup and Revolution had a 3 rotor NA were producing 400HP and above. Pan Speed's green FD usually gets trotted out with 500-600HP and the FEED Rx7 I have never seen compete with anything below 400HP.

[@Kamukix]

The scary part is that they did those times IN traffic, and without getting what looks like a single clean run on the back straight! The Rev RX-8 was CLEARLY faster than pretty much everything, it's speed is just awesome!
A lot of the FD's looked to be pretty loose at the rear on corner exit, curious if it was from power surge or just stiffly setup rear sets.
Kei

[@kasugakyosuke6441]

Yeah the Revolution RX 8 was clearly the best machine. Kinda disappointed the driver was holding it so much, he would have been easily in front and winning, with a more aggressive driving.

[@Be4tJumper]

i can't stop watching Japanese racing

[@amyasseektruth8246]

I love Rx 7 but drive a Rx 8. I personally love the 8's look (appearance inside and out) but performance from the 7 is amazing

[@abracing199]

The 8 is a superior chassis the engine just lets it down

[@massimomassimi6571]

Bravissimi. Pensavo che la "race cup Mazda" l'avessero messa su Gran Turismo solo come riempimento, invece esiste davvero e sono tutti bravi. Certo che il motore Wankel è leggerissimo, infatti basta il peso del differenziale per far slittare il posteriore come se fosse una Porsche. Auguri a tutti.

[@12C_Can-Am]

豪華ですなあww

[@BELSON666]

Re should've brought in the 20b na FD with the sequential box. That would've given the rx8 a hell of a damn good trashing.

[@Damicske]

NASCAR is based on a old tradition called running from the cops with moonshine, that's why NASCAR cars are still carburated and no turbo's.

[@TheVintagetamiya]

Rx7.s standard gear boxes rx8.s sequential boxes. Rx8 need big mods to race a rx7

[@juggnautbitch]

None of those rx7's were remotely close to being stock, all of those were cars were heavily modded.

[@user-bp5py6bh3g]

Dumb comment

[@harrystresslevel]

You realise that regardless of the car. They are all heavily modified.

[@null0022]

Also, realize the two rx8s in 4th and 5th had the fastest times

[@DanMarcelino]

@@juggnautbitch some of those rx7's were 26b's.. (4 rotor) while some of the rx8's were 20b's (3 rotor) big difference there..

[@antwainmcgee2268]

Now this was a race. Love all that rotary power, awesomeness.

[@BadApex]

love the flames of the Rx-8 at 5:02

[@MasterChief0000117]

thanx friend, fixing one up wont b a pain in the ass

[@Darkning]

When you watch racing like this... it makes you wonder how people put up with anything like Nascar.

[@dwnrety1]

i would kill for an opportunity to run around tsukuba.
forza is about as close as ill ever get to it...

[@ilovebaseball6257]

ロータリーのいい音📣

[@shredthetrack6858]

Both the revolution and the panspeed RX8 got the fastest lap times :) but i like the fd3s also

[@davidmorris6961]

Shredthetrack they are full on race cars where the rx7 are only modified street cars.

[@vainxler]

what a bunch of crazy mazda!

[@SinginShooter]

They ran EFI this year. And with a small block V8, they don't need to simulate bigger displacment with a turbo.

[@Nyaonyx]

Why Kikuchi drove a left hand Rx8? I am just wondering because it is Japan, they make their cars and the local one they make are right hand drive.

[@bliglum]

RX8's have to be all race car'd out, Sequential straight cut gearboxes and all.. Just to keep up with the modified RX7's.

[@DerangedSloth555]

"Just to keep up with the modified RX7"
Officially, the Revolution RX8 laps at 3 seconds faster than all the RX7s best laptimes here.

[@bliglum]

ClubbySuperCharged RX7's are sexy too.. RX8's are ugly.

[@TheNubadak]

RX8's also have four seats....

[@TheBb6prelude]

+bliglum that was a dumb come back

[@user-bp5py6bh3g]

This is the dumbest comment of all time lmfao

[@Paulmichael9]

They should put the RE Amemiya from "Battles at 10,000rpm". I bet all of them would be crying.

[@SinPistones]

As an RX-8 owner I'm sad to admit that. It's still an awesome car though.
And for looks, I still prefer the older Savanna :D

[@Relyt345]

I still think they should have a special rotary miata/mx-5

[@bogdanpanchuk296]

Interesting, that according to the table at 7:11 despite the fact RX-7 were winners, both fastest laps (1'02) were done by RX-8.

[@starrja]

Yeah, improved aerodynamics. But the X7 makes more power.

[@lihaoliang0071]

rx8 actually has a more rigid chassis, the thing it needs to beat rx7s is a good engine.

[@xero890]

I think you can find them on craigslist fairly often, but it will depend on where you live

[@RyBread916]

A couple of those RX-7's have straight cut gears. I would like to have some of those in my car, but not for Daily Driving

[@Paulmichael9]

Yeah, sure. Anyway most second hand cars are still working perfectly. Only thing that needs to be fixed is air-con, gauges, and lights. If it's the engine that needs to be fixed, bring it to a mechanic or tuner. Other than that, everything will be fine.

[@user-uf2lk6hj5p]

耳が幸せ

[@mrRufffnTumble]

Rx-8s with sequential gearboxs and the rx-7s still won! It's a shame so many Rx-7s were molested with awful body kits in the early 00's. Never understood why people put those Veilside kits on them, the stock car with minor cosmetics look much sportier and better in my opinion.

[@K20ASiR]

watching this in Japanese is so much more entertaining

[@Paulmichael9]

Since money isn't a problem for you, just buy second hand cars. Inspect it first and fix whatever needs to be fixed. I did the same and my RX-7 is working PERFECTLY. Hopefully you'll be able to find one my friend. :)

[@aksmit4x]

As an rx8 owner i would settle with a single turbo or a supercharger even, just something to push it past that magical 300hp mark every sports car desires A super really would be ideal since rx8's make most their power in the upper rpm range.

[@Paulmichael9]

Sure! Let me know if you find one. Upload videos of it or at least pics. I'm sure it would be cool. :)

[@djbrissette]

IMO look both awesome, but the rx7 is more impressive because it's an old car yet still looks good by todays standards. other japanese cars from the early 90's look like shit compared to the FD

[@yuitomaedomari1470]

何でレボリューションRXー8は、
左ハンドル？

[@JB-sv5pr]

my dream race use to watch this vid all the time!

[@rmlangille]

There was a time when people did that in Formula 1/ GT too. Good times. Now that gets you fined 100 billion trillion dollars and a stout point deduction :D

[@user-wy7jz1yg9b]

NAのナチュラルな音も気持ちいいけど、ターボの加給音も気持ちいい😃

[@user-xh4wc6qc4u]

順位では7の方が上だが、ベストタイムでは8の方が上ってのが驚き

[@ericlpz12]

fastest look like they held the best average speed. the rx8s had three fastest lap time

[@gameheadG]

can someone explain what kind of gear box that was in the rx8 everytime i looked at it i was just like .................. wtf if someone can explain i would greatly appreciate it

[@Mattoropael]

NASCAR is for watching people crash horribly and then get out of their cars and fight each other on the track. I'll admit that it's good at that department.

[@MasterChief0000117]

how u get one?? The money isn't a problem, but how many are left

[@XxM3TALGUMxX]

that silver rx8 looks raw!

[@jbaz964]

Sweet! good video.

[@JayMark2049]

Just you. I mean, it depends on what you like that's all. For me personally, there's no better coverage than Best Motoring's. Cheers.

[@Rusko1DUB]

the black rx8 is monster!

[@2000xlt]

what kind of transmission and shifter is that at 1:08

[@gav240z]

What are the specs on the RX-8's?

[@normalsalaryman]

talking about body, as a stock rx7 is better looking, but once the bodykit is installed,rx8.looks better ithink. but once you modify the car like this vid, its all about mechanic and driver, matter of body or brand is no longer play an important part, just how u tune it...i own an rx8 btw...great car but really lack of engine power n interior space...mazda shud've make it 2 seater instead of 4seater

[@ph0kingbrian]

its a sequential manual transmission

[@FdSnakeEater]

Ahhhh....watching this makes me miss my FD. T_T

[@TinoushGTR]

Honda NSX all the way.
its made from alluminium so one day its going to cost alot. it wont rust.
and i love its shape and handeling.

[@subwoofer611]

this is granturismo, this is jdm!

[@KyRiaCouLiC69]

Keep Searching for more details.... but I can see the FINAL RESULTS: Rx7,Rx7,Rx7 !!!
P.S.: I like both models and I never told that Rx8 sucks....
I RESPECT ALL THOSE BEASTS
from a Greek Fan of Rotary engines!

[@MYkillingFETISH]

watching a Japanese racing where sliding is the last thing you want to do is strange.

[@LeontariF1]

They (NASCAR fans) drink a shit load of beer and watch a ton of crashes during the race :-)

[@yokosan0819]

かっこえぇぇ

[@CIVILLIANmusic]

Is it just me, or do the Japanese editing and camera cuts make it hard to actually follow the race? I feel like other racing coverage is way better.

[@MasterChief0000117]

most of them r already owned :(,my uncle found one in an auction he bid like 5k for it but these two Marines bid higher

[@dreamer8474]

Go Ryosuke go!!!)))

[@ThUnDeRbErK]

In this video panspeed has 13b na engine after the year they passed 20b engine

[@xex2kok]

Well these are all track cars here so that doesn't mean much.

[@MasterChief0000117]

RX-7 the car I will never have :(

[@BilllB]

You might do, they are still underpriced on the second-hand market. I've seen some going for £20,000

[@giovannimartinezm5]

pan speed wtf lmaoooo

[@doshhh4179]

BRAAAP BRAAAP BRAAAP

[@GTFour]

Amazing

[@xero890]

Just go get one! They're not nearly as expensive as a supra or NSX

[@keichan5868]

Rx8 is amazing once turbo charged

[@oscarzt1652]

has kikuchi's RX8 got a 4 rotor? or just a fantastic exhaust?

[@RisenFlow]

Oscar Thorpe search for the HKS legamax. At higher rpm it sounds like a 4 rotor😁

[@RisenFlow]

With an decent decat

[@BilllB]

Man, I love Japan!

[@VtuberKENNY]

カッコえぇ、、、

[@dan5533333]

those cars have much more than 280 HP. They arent stock renesis engines. Prolly none of em are.

[@kenho3j0k3r]

1.03 gray rx8 goddamn got downforce?

[@peter9style]

never showed the winning car...

[@mackdaddie80]

MORE FLAMES!!!
