Onboard 1991 Mazda RX7 IMSA GTO four-rotor at Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion | Road & Track

What's it like to drive a priceless, four-rotored piece of Mazda history on the weekends? Ask Jeremy Barnes, the transplanted Aussie who heads Mazda North America's public relations department, and the amateur racer can't help but let an ear-to-ear grin begin to rise.

Along with a dozen other Mazda colleagues, Barnes spent last weekend at the aptly-names Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion where five of the brand's four-rotor rockets were on display.

Thankfully, the static display in the paddock came to life twice a day as the cars were raced in the IMSA group where Barnes is entrusted to wring the neck of the tubeframe 1991 RX7 IMSA GTO, and as he shares below and in the video, each session in the flame-spitting beast is filled with sensory overload.
