@@zrspangle not exactly. Racing leagues set rules based on engine volume among other things, and the hp/volume for a wankel is much greater than for any other piston engine. That creates an unfair advantage for other engines which they try to incorporate into racing as many types as possible. It's perfectly fine to race with a V8 vs an inline 6 or Boxer 6 in certain leagues as long as the volume has the same limit. Allowing rotaries would pretty much throw that equality out the window. Everyone would use rotary and it technically would be bad for car companies because they wouldn't have incentive to test their consumer car engine on a track. It would overall create a bad car culture in terms of providing data for consumer engines. I love the wankel engine. It is a genius concept but because it is too inefficient( unless mazda makes a miracle with a skyactive 10 wankel) and doesn't pass current EPA standards, allowing it in races would severely hurt the engineering car companies use for regular consumers. The race track is not just a competition but also a science experiment.

my buddies working on his dream car.. an 80's "z car" he got for 75usd "if you can remove it today" the engine was so blown, it wasnt just blown... it was in 6-7 chunks after we unbolted all the stuff that was still holding the lock togather, pistons/cylanders wedged at angles... just true 'how the hell did they do this'.... a shop in the portland area know for mazda and nissan and similar cars bough the engine off him after hearing about it..they actually traded him some nice parts he needed, hes putting a custom tranny he got after it was rebuilt but the original owner had a stroke and died before picking it up, and his son, didnt want to spend more then buying a pick-n-pull tranny to get it working again... the tranny is uniq and nice, 3 reverse gears, first is fast, faster then normal, 2nd is slower but higher torque, and the 3rd is "i need to use this AMC Eagle Wagon to pull that large fishing boat up this steep fucking ramp" (what im told it was in back then anyway), hes got a custom kit on order...hes still months out on the cue he got into just before cv19 started up, it will make mounting the rx7 engine in the z car(the one with the 2 removable t top/sun roof/wtfe panels over each seat and is iconic as hell for anybody in my age bracket), piss easy, same for the tranny adaptor kit, hes said i will be the first non-family member to drive it once its done... mostly because i helped him find alot of info showing, its been done and can be done.... oh, the tranny has 6 forward gears as well as the 3 reverse, just damn nice....

Rotarys are great engines when in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing. Premix the fuel, and redline it often. A family friend had a 2004 rx-8. He was a Mazda tech and had over 250k miles on it when he passed. What made that impressive is the fact the the engine had never been opened up. It finally blew an apex seal at 283k miles.

I love my RX-8 and when I take it to shows it usually does get a few comments about it being a rotary, which makes me happy! I will never forget this young kid who freaked out when he saw it. My cars no show car and needs some pretty massive paint work, but he was very excited to see the car. It's nice to see the next generation still holding on to the excitement that a rotary engine causes. One guy was explaining to his wife who clearly was into cars, how the engine in my car works, and when she was finished her eyes lit up and she was talking about how cool and unique it was.

I loved my 89 GXL, after 100k miles the apex seals started to go out. A friend that was part of an RX7 club told me to put an ounce of trans fluid into the engine through the upper spark plug holes once a week(if it sat longer than 24 hours it would sometimes lose compression) after that I was able to get a few more years of use out of it. Was in high school still so didn't have enough to fix it right. Wish I still had it, was in beautiful condition, one owner.

Also, we are never going to do Science Garage without Bart, he’s part of that show’s DNA, but I can tell you we have new things in the works that will teach you (and me) about how cars work.

One thing to note about Wankel rotaries is that they do have some applications outside of cars where they are absolutely awesome. One thing a rotary can do that a piston engine has a lot more trouble doing is running full bore for hours on end. Without pistons slamming back and forth, you can just redline the suckers forever. This makes the wankel awesome for prop planes where the engine load is high and continuous for long stretches. They also work great as small, high output generators so they're certainly not dead but in cars, smooth revving and high rpm is mostly a luxury. Quick bursts of power from piston engines is all you need.

Instead, the engine layout will function as a range-extender for topping up the battery pack in a hybrid vehicle. "Inside Mazda, we all have the dream of seeing one day a vehicle powered by a rotary engine. But given the number of things we have to do, we had to put this on the back burner, and we have no time frame," Mazda CEO Akira Marumoto told Automotive News Europe in June 2019." www.motor1.com/news/356794/mazda-rotary-engine-patent-update/

I bought a RX8 when I was 16 years old. Had no idea what I was buying then but slowly learned to work on the 13b. Absolutely love it and will keep the car forever. Bought the car for $3500 and have put over $10k in performance parts and have done 2 rebuilds. Lol

apparently they trademarked some chasis setup that only has space for a rotary engine to fit so there is a chance edit: www.carthrottle.com/post/new-patent-suggests-a-rotary-mazda-rx-9-is-happening-after-all/

There isn't anybody left working for Mazda that gives any fucks about the rotary engine. Couldn't care less if another rotary powered car was produced. I've got my rx7 and the prices are just goin up hahaha
