Mazda MZR-R COUPE is getting ready for the ALMS Petit Le Mans

You have previously seen the artist rendering. The car looks better in
person, even in carbon black. The race debut is next week at the
American Le Mans Series Petit Le mans @ Road Atlanta. A few notes about
the car:

* Photo is from first shakedown test @ Road America.

* This will be the first coupe to race in the ALMS LMP2 class.

* Car to debut at Petit Le Mans and will also race at the season
finale at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

* Outnumbered by the Porsche & Acura forces by eight to one,
Mazda has stepped up their program on the chassis side. While the Mazda
AER developed MZR-R has shown great speed, the results to date have not
reflected that potential.

* Aerodynamically the coupe is expected to have approximately
10% more downforce and 7% less drag. The air restrictor size will be
increased to 45.6mm, but all coupes are required to run AC so power
increase will be negated.

* The car will also feature a faster refueling mechanism and
improved fuel collector to reduce pit stop time.

* The BP sponsored car remains on Dunlop tires with drivers Ben
Devlin & Gerardo Bonilla. MAZDASPEED ladder poster boy, and former Skip
Barber/Star Mazda/Atlantic and current Indy Lights champion Raphael
Matos will rejoin the team for the Petit race.

* Quote: John Doonan, MAZDASPEED Motorsports Team Development
Manager "This is the top rung of the MAZDASPEED Motorsports program and
we needed to raise our efforts. The B-K team has already invested over
1200 hours into the assembly of the new car and we are optimistic about
the final two races of 2008 and are already looking forward to the 2009
Sebring race."
