shame the aco banned it

With respect, I think it was the FIA who banned it not the ACO on this occasion, as they wanted world sportscars to go down the 3.5 litre route. .

This gave rise to the fabulous Dassault Peugeots, which sounded - IMO - even better than the Mazda.

Nice to see her come home though, they were awsome.

I think your right. It was the change to the 3.5 litre rules enforced by the FIA which killed it.

Im sad to miss this. Its one of my favorite cars of all time. Im hoping that mazda will also bring a crew of videographers to shoot it in high def. if not at least there will be plenty of great shots from TV crews and photographers with modern equipment.
