Mazda RX-8 R3 Track Test- Johnny Herbert UK 2008

[Tallandcharming]

I own a 2010 RX8GT and I've taken it to a track. There's a couple of times here where Johnny bounces off the revs and effectively loses power, his lines are good though and I love my RX8 GT, shame it's no longer made

"and the seats are a nice leather..."

*johnny throws '8 into impossibly aggressive powerslide*

"and they're 5 kilos lighter too!"

[weymouthladuk]

I have a rx8 aswell and as you say "very proud to own one" :-)

[samgurl85]

Wow, he's an amazing driver.

[Deetroiter]

A guy who wears a business casual attire and can talk like it's a intimate conversation while driving a car at it's limit is a professional driver indeed lol

[AmishGuy222000]

Love this car. Proud R3 owner Aurora blue mica :)

I hate the rev limiter beeping noise. That would have to go.

[gav240z]

@jef46614 it's actually not that bad, at least not in my FD. Kind of helps to be honest, it would be so easy to over-rev these things without, since they are so smooth the higher they rev.

[sqd8r]

love how Herbert completely ignores the beeping rev limiter.

"Unfortunately, i don't get to keep this car for 24 hours so i have to leave the keys here... and turn back to my Lambo."

[MrGuitarlover24]

absolutly love the new rx8 it looks more aggressive than the older version, prefure the old alloys tho..... definatly want one now!!

[jedbeddo1]

didnt leman ban the rotary engine from leman in 92? i remember reading that somewhere

[Deetroiter]

@jedbeddo1

Yeah they banned them because they said the Rotary was "not in class"...in other words, it was too dominant for pissed-on engines to keep up with.

[TommasoCompiani]

oh yeah!!! drift johnny, DRIFT!!!!! :)

[leoevo05]

I have an rx8 and seeing this vehicle makes me proud to own an 8.

[nirvanasoup]
