That would be great but in order to become successful again, Mazda (the factory team) should partner up with Oreca (if Toyota drops out) like in 1991, then they should give Dome some support to privateers.

To see another rotary P1 would be cool tho
The odds of a rotary engine being used in an energy conservation model seems remote at best.

A turbocharged rotary on E100 paired with KERS and a heat recovery system?

Chance of rotary is zero because:

Engine is free except following restrictions: Only Petrol and Diesel 4 stroke engines with reciprocating pistons are permitted. (draft 2014 regs)

(More fuel for the fire... fire being the 787B ban myth. )

There seems to be some consensus and the original sentence given in municipal court was in a way incompetent.

This has been quite big media story here for two years, I don't think he has been thinking about racing lately.

Today, Mazda announces exhibition of LMP2 with Skyactiv-D in Mazda Fan Festa. Yes, it's blue Lola chassis.
However, the concrete plan was not unveiled although it declared the participating plan to LM24 and ALMS.

But that part of it is still draft material... or maybe it was officially implemented?

I don't think that kind of basic things change anymore, so it doesn't matter if it is a draft or not. Also, this was already mentioned in June (page 5)

Well, they have to sell it someone, maybe they will race it at Le Mans and or ALMS.
If they only sell it to 1 team, then it's an guaranteed Le Mans entry if the team wants it to race there.

What do people think we will get out of tonight's BMW Motorsport announcement?

Z4 GTE in the ALMS? Hope it's not just confined to America but let's see...

Don't really understand the tweet. Does he mean Grand-Am?

Would fly in the face of what a lot of people are saying which is that the Z4 GTE is headed for ALMS and WEC is being looked at.

The same goes for the BMW driver line-up in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS). BMW will again compete in this series next year. However, they will no longer be using the BMW M3 GT. Instead, BMW Motorsport and BMW of North America will turn to the new GTE version of the BMW Z4 GT3. “This change in model shows that we are focussing fully on the BMW Z4 as an all-encompassing GT car,” said Marquardt. “The BMW Z4 GT3 has been very successful on the GT3 scene in recent years, and has proven its ability to win races. I am confident this car will also play a major role as a GTE car in the ALMS.” The BMW M3 GT has been in action in the ALMS since 2009. It was with this car that BMW and BMW Team RLL won the team and manufacturer titles in the GT class in 2010, and then completed the hat-trick – driver, team and manufacturer titles – in 2011. In total, the car won seven races in four seasons.

Nice to see something get confirmed from these teams, even if it is as a partnership.

No word on the engine. Status has been rumoured as a potential Mazda candidate so let's see. I suppose there's an outside chance they could do Sebring if they are so well set up to race in the States.

We heard a diesel from Mazda on a dyno, but we know it's 'crap'? I'll wait till I hear it in the back of an LMP to judge.
