2017, new chassis, revised engine with less durability---sorry, I mean more power---and suddenly Mazda is an also-ran again.

I can tell you what happened---Mazda sent the team to Japan. When the team saw that Mazda fans are so incredibly dedicated---dare we say rabid--- the team realized they would be loved and supported whatever the results they posted.

Too much carrot.

Hey Mazda--- your American fans are not so patient nor forgiving.
Do you think Mazda is better off in a class like GTD. Lexus, Acura, and Mercedes Seem to know better. I think to analyze them so far is like this: The Mercedes AMG GT3 is the total package and is the big swinger on the GT world stage right now. Lexus has had the speed, Acura has had reliability. Both are lacking in the other area respectively. .
