With over twenty-five years experience racing Mazda rotary powered cars Pettit Racing is highly regarded by industry and enthusiasts world wide as the source for technical information and advise. For past 10 years our focus on turbo rotary engines and FD series RX-7's has gained us much knowledge and enabled us to be the only race team to have consecutive top finishes with turbo charged rotary engines at venues like the Rolex 24 and the American Le Mans Series races.
Championship don’t come easy, in 1998, Pettit Racing won the GT2 Road Racing Championship. This accomplishment is even more notable considering that the car was a 93 Mazda RX7 street car with only bolt-on accessories. At season end when the final points were tallied, Pettit had 140 points, which was 63 points more than the second place team. This same car finished the Daytona Rolex 24-hour race 4 times, successfully outlasting many factory prepared cars.
In past seasons, with Mazda Cars Pettit Racing has won five SCCA road racing championships, over fifty national races, and numerous top ten finishes in IMSA Supercar and SCCA World Challenge races. We campaigned a 1988 SCCA IT class RX7 from 1991 to 1993, set numerous track records and won twenty-one races including the SCCA twelve hour endurance race at Sebring. In 1993, our 1984 GT3 class RX7 won nine SCCA National Races in a row. In 1997 Pettit’s SCCA World Challenge RX-7 finished in the top ten at seven of the nine events.
