    thats why rotaries dont do endurance racing.
    Are you going by what you've heard or how many endrance races you've driven or crewed for? Whether it's a 10/13hr Endurance or 24 hr Le Mans, Honda has ALWAYS been more reliable. Find me a source that says otherwise.

    The rotary was banned because of its "unfair" weight advantages following its victory at the '91 Le Mans. You can't say they don't do endurance races because they run them ALL the time, just because they were banned by the FIA doesn't mean they don't compete under other associations and organizations.

    The last time I checked, a few RX-8 was in the rolex 24 hours race and in Grand-Am.
