Historical Background: The Rotary Goes Racing

After years of success in IMSA's smaller-displacement GTU categories, Mazda stepped into the premier GTO class for the 1990 season with a fearsome four-rotor RX-7 producing approximately 640 horsepower. Its unmistakable high-revving rotary soundtrack and advanced engineering quickly made it a fan favorite. While the inaugural GTO campaign showed flashes of brilliance, it laid the foundation for Mazda's championship-winning 1991 season and helped establish what many enthusiasts regard as a golden era of Mazda motorsport.
