It’s an understood rule in cycling that if there is a mechanical the peleton lifts as a courtesy. Just like if the leader needs a nature break the race is effectively neutralized and the rest of the peleton takes a pisser with them.
There’s a certain point where you’re on your own (like if you have a mechanical on the…

It also had an advantage because Mazda convinced the stewards to allow for a much larger fuel tank than anyone else under Group C regulations.
Actually a 2mm or 3mm seal n/a rotary will be quite reliable. They’ll probably put a 2mm in it for higher RPM capability, but outside of the STOCK RX-8 (which had issues because of the 1.2mm apex seals, a reduced oil injection volume, and a bunch of other issues), n/a rotaries are quite reliable.

It’s a fantastic cruiser. Eats up the freeway, but it’s just too heavy for canyon work.
A FoST will probably replace my E39T in 2020 or 2021. Loved the one I test drove, but couldn’t justify the extra cost every month vs. keeping my E39T on the road.

The only M5 that came with a V8 was the E39, and it never came with an automatic.

Really interested in seeing a comparison test for a NAS.
That’s sharp.
