The first event of the Rolex Series "
Rolex 24 At Daytona" took place at the
Daytona Int'l Speedway in
Daytona Beach, Florida on Saturday January 26, 2008. Twenty-four hours of road racing can put any car to its paces, luckily the Mazda Rotary Renesis engine excels at endurance. This endurance coupled with Speedsources dedication to rotary technology has placed three of the 20B powered Mazda RX-8's in the Top 10 pole positions. Congratulations to Speedsource and Racer's Edge.
