It’s not every day you get to witness the 700-horsepower Mazda RX-7 GTO on track–let alone drive it.

Pro racing driver Tom Long tells us all what it’s like to drive the famed RX-7, as well as how it impacted Mazda’s later racing endeavors.

It looks like it has a Super Nintendo sitting on the dash.

In reply to BA5 :

That’s so the driver has something to do while on the back straight.

Seriously, it was very cool getting the full tour from Tom Long. I have known him for years/decades, and it’s fun seeing your friends out there doing cool stuff.

There is definitely a lot going on on the dash of this car. It was really cool to see it out on track at Daytona.
