What is a run what you brung environment? What keeps me from showing up with a GE90? That's quite open ended as nowhere does it say i can't show up with JATO propulsion.

i see you'll discredit a rotary no matter what the circumstance. No matter how winning the result. They only place i'll give you a rotary is worse of then an American V8 is the expense required.

I seriously can't believe someone who says a rotary car having a racing class make specs specifically for it. In fact, most race organisers tried their best to keep a rotary restricted as much as possible. Never more so than 1991's Le Mans

In 1991 at Le Mans, the ACO did whatever possible to keep Mazda from racing the 787B. Only word from Jacky Ickx changed their mind. So they allowed the car to be built to Category 2 specification. Not the more current Category 1 with F1 derived engines. To add, all the Cat 1 cars would start at the front of the grid irregardless of where they qualified. So, the 787B started 19th even though it qualified 12th.

Competition for the 787B; the last 3 great Gr C race cars. Pugs 905, Sauber C11, and the fendered F1 car that was the Jag XJR-14.

Ok, lets move on over to JGTC and see how rotaries are doin.............. what? only 1 win there too????? Even a Silvia has 1 win...................

Rotary dominates the under 2 liter race though...... congratulations on that gimmick. Displacement measurement sure is fair and balanced between a rotary and a piston.
Rotaries...banned at Le Mans since 1992.

JGTC in terms of GT500 or GT300?
GT500 requires facotry efforts and Mazda has never had one.
GT300. That car was built by Re Amemiya not a factory team as the issue with the GT300 is not engine but chassis choice. You can even race Daytona Prototypes against GT3s.

What under 2 liter racing are you talking about?
