Protoform Mazda6

[joepa]

Hey guys, I own a (real) 2003 Mazda6, and quite frankly I'm a bit obsessed with the car :). I've been following the race results in RCCA to see how the Protoform Mazda6 body is doing at the big events, but I'm "outside the loop" since I don't race R/C competitively. More specifically, I noticed that many top drivers used it at the Paved On-Road Nats. I'm just curious...has the Mazda6 become the body of choice for the top on-road drivers? If so, what's so special about it?

I'm hoping to report back to the guys over at the Mazda6 forums; they might be interested to hear your comments. Thanks in advance for any replies! :)

I'd have to say the Mazda has become the body of choice for outdoor use for most racers. It's a very stable body with lots of steering and good overall downforce.

Here's the most recent pic of my car with my scheme and a Mazda 6 body. This was before I went to drive for Schumacher.
