A pretty cool video - well done Pete for contributing such a well sorted and clean FC
Very good of Mazda UK to commission this video, given that the future of Mazda Rotary Engined cars looks bleak - apart from maybe using the RE as a battery charger in a hybrid!

I'm guessing either appearance money or the rider (a whisk, wet celery and flying helmet)

Yes, The FB in the video is the Scottish car, bought by Mazda last year.
I've written to Mazda to inform them of the potential given by a go-faster stripe......dark blue, about 20mm wide, should give a good speed boost on this car.......
