- This was a practice session at Road Atlanta 2013 / Walter Mitty/HSR.
I'am driving Gordon Zadie"s 1974 RX-3 Tube chassis GT-3 road race car.
12a bridge port with 40 mm chokes in the carb.
Car weight 2030 with driver.
I come back and watch this video every few months. The driving savagery and rotary sound combination gives me goosebumps. LOVE IT!
Jason Stuart me too 👍🏻😍
Me too 👍
dam. for real! he gets up in that ass and goes around everyone lol
Bad ass driving.
I get that it's Bridge Ported, but damn, didn't think a 12A could whoop that much ass that easily. +1 for badass drivermod too
Totally disagree. 12as are not nearly as powerful as a 13b
Think tbats bad bro, should see what 26b pp could do, aw wait it won the la man's 24hour hahahahaha
Absolutely.
Fricken.
Killed it.
Passing old mustangs, corvettes, porsches, NEW mustangs, and more! It's insane!
This car is a gt-3 scca rx-3 tube chassis, 12a Bridgeport, 265hp, weight-2030
2030 what? Oranges?

Best video on youtube.
the secret life of walter mitty :D Great driving
Holy sheep! Those other guys know they're at a race, right? LOL, he "drives like someone coming home from work on the freeway." :-P
this RX-3 ate all the cars for breakfast... damn
sound gives me goose bumps. whoever mapped this baby created art.
5 speed sequental ?
Man!!! SO F.....ING AWESOME!!! Awesome driving! Respectful, no idiotically manouvers and just pure AWESOME racing! AWESOME CAR! Love it!!! Watching it for the the 3rd time now! :)
I'm not really a rota fan but that was impressive, it just shows, its far better to have a well set up, light car, with low/moderate power than heavy american muscle or Euro.
lol pull your head out of your ass
Daniel Thompson Not sure how my head is in my ass based on that comment? I complemented the guys car on how well it went, Clearly you should stick to commenting on what you know about, being Dj-ing, cartoons and video games lol.
RIPSNZ lol, i was just thinking the same, that little car was bad ass on the turns
Daniel Thompson
Hahah another rota fanboy!
it does get to the point where if you have too much power you need a car with a longer wheel base and wider track so thats where the larger euros and murican cars come into their own.
Brilliant this Mazda have no mercy and look at the revs on top end 9,000 RPM
I would do bad things to own this car
1:47 those downshifts sounds so perfect!
this is just awesome.
Love that sreaming rotary. :D
Hey great channel! 👋
rotors have such an awesome sound. It just keeps getting better as the revs get higher.
Awesome! I can't decide whether I like the sound of wide-open or idle better!
Jason Nixon wide open is nuts on a peripheral port, at least this sounds PP to me, but it says BP in the description. Hmmm..
Amazing what happens when folks pay attention in physics class😂😂😂😂😂
gotta love the sound of a rotary, amazing engine setup. the throttle response is insane, those downshifts sound awesome, hoping to buy a 12A 1st gen RX-7 soon
2:54 oh yeah! Love when it's on the rev limiter!
Magic to watch...brilliant drive!
Only time you can hear the v8s is when your below 5k rpm!! Ha
Love the sound of bridge/ported rotary!! Especially the 12a! Beautifully orgasmic sound of power!!! Ll
Best Rotary driver I have ever seen making use of all revs the car can make
Nothing better than a Bridge ported Rx3!!!! I drive mine on the street!!
What a treat it was watching that little car run so hard.
its great that the rotary engine's inertia is so low that you can shift gears mid corner lol
Oh my god. Is this car N/A? I think this is one of my favorite runs I've ever watched. Like 2nd place to Senna in the 1990 Monaco Grand Prix. That was some serious driving in a serious car good sir.
めちゃめちゃいい音！( ﾟДﾟ)b
しかも速い！
3:54 is that a chromed TVR?!
Pretty sure that was an Aston Martin
God that thing is quick! Great run. Thanks for sharing your video. I have a date tonight. Can I borrow it? Lol.
How much horsepower does it have? You're outrunning everything!
Uhm, I think your tach might be drunk. It's tipped on its side. 😊
Mannnnnnn this car is unbelievable!!!! But the driver fark man he can drive that thing like a mofo.
The drivers got some stones on him :)
Damn that car is hooked up
I owned an RX-4 with mild porting for road use, awesome sound and driving from the RX-3 and it's only 1.2 li. naturally aspirated.
Is this guy that good, or the rest of the drivers are that bad ?
+Mark J
Few years under his belt, especially at Road Atlanta, heh. Also practice session, says in description.
GSA no wonder
The guy is that good, and he's driving a car that allows him to go hard in the corners. Physics is physics, and that lightweight ro- tah tah tah just gives him road race freedom👍
So nice! you can't beat Bridgeport! Thank you that made my day.
What's the difference between bridgeported and not bridgeported? Looking for a little lesson lol
Wow, Awesome Driving. Mazda Rocket.☺
Great drive! Also, I bet you've never used the excuse "the traffic was slow" in the unlikely event you were ever late to something. :)
The best video I have seen on here in a long time, thanks for sharing.
That Hauls for a 12a!!!!!Nice driving
great car...x eso is my favorite car!!+Da4ever!!!
Batmobile @4:00 mins!!!. Great Rx-3 by the way.
Brilliant man you can drive a Rotary
wow.... Look at all those vettes... I love rotaries too... THIS IS GLORIOUS!
OWNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good car and good driver
Nice vid!
Rotary FTW!!!
:D!!!!!
My old GT3 RX3 had a J port but was greatly rules restricted to 37 mm venturis. I shifted at 9000 as there was no gain above that. I see where you go to over 9500. Perhaps you are running 48 - 51 mm chokes. Must be nice.
I see now where you ran with 40mm chokes. OK.
I like your movie ;)
"ground control, to major Tom."
Possibly the greatest thing I have seen on youtube........and it was a practice session. Mazda you had the world at your feet and blew it.................time for a come back with rotary to lead the charge.
I got the chills from the sound damnn
Thing screams and those downshifts! fuck
I really love this car n like the way he drive..awesome thanks for the video so enjoy
Is this Mike Pinegars old RX-3??? His car gave Mike Cyphert's Paseo a problem every SCCA NATIONAL, back in 1999?
Wow! Driver mod +1
Damn it took me long to find this o.o insane car
its soo fast!
Mazda needs to make some more beasts love this
Impressive commitment over the hill section. Nice!
Btw... loving the inline blower on the dash hahaha
pretty damn good
thank you sir! nice video, even better sound :)
Awesome car. Great driving! Good lines man! And so sweet overtaking on those v8s!
I love this
Amazing drive
SWEEEEEET SOUND 9.5krpm going strong :)
simply awesome
OMFG :)
Man and The Machine !
Great run! thanks for sharing it with us.
Stellar footage, thanks for sharing!
The small sized, lighweight, low C of G rotary engine really allows the car to easily overtake in the turns.
Good GAWD!!! That sound!!!
This is fuckin rad, quick response on the 2:16 pants shitting oversteer.
things i noticed.. 1: it's practice so nobody's really pushing it... 2: those Porsche 914s seem just as quick the rx3 on the turns (they're prob super light). 3: off track at 9:10 but a nice recovery; could've been a lot worst.
Fuck me. That RX3 is a weapon.
So who was driving? And is this one of the RX3's that Jim Downing originally developed? Pretty exciting video/driving - even if it was a practice session...
so satisfying to watch this machine scoot around and eat up v8s
Uhhmm fast super fast and that noise.
watching the driver go flatout in some corners is nuts,
any idea what this maniac of a car weighs ?
It’s always the way….
Classic American cars cruising around the track and the only one racing is the idiot in a rotary.
Funny how others actually thought it was a race!
Bloody peanut risked all of those cars which ALL would have kicked his arse in a race.
And pushed his mate’s car so hard he crashed and damaged it.
What an absolute idiot.
Got what he deserved.
Small, light, nimble and FAST. I remember scaring the poop out of myself in the mothers RX2 coupe - wish I still had that car.
incredible and awesome sound .. would like to try it also ;) ...
holy shit that sounds sexy :D
Like taking candy from a baby
Trying to see peak EGT on the straights - I want to compare to mine to see if I'm set up right as I think I'm running too high. What scale is the EGT on this car, or, can you tell what peak is?
I want to meet you Jeff.
Smooth powerful rotary, great driving, fantastic handling car, and an amazing, flowing, undulating race track- love this video!
that thing pulls like the dickens
😎👍👍👍
once again great video
It would be awesome to have a camera out the back, so you could see how fast you are pulling away from them!
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Sounds like a 13b lol
Had the same engine in my car .
No wonder they wanted it gone
F--k that thing is quick !!
god daem the little rotor that could! :o
This video is SICK!!!!!
