The first racing victory by a Wankel- engined car in the United States was in 1973, when Bedard won an IMSA RS race at Lime Rock Park in a Mazda RX- 2.

Automobile (magazine)
Automobile is an American automobile magazine published by the Motor Trend Group.
A group of former employees of" Car and Driver" led by David E. Davis founded" Automobile" in 1986 with support from Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation—using the credo" No Boring Cars.
Automobile" distinguishes itself as more of a lifestyle magazine than the other automotive publications, an editorial theme that Davis greatly expanded upon from his tenure as the editor of" Car and Driver", though it is a sister publication to" Motor Trend".
Unlike most other automobile magazines," Automobile" does not often do instrumented tests of cars or provide much technical data.
Instead, the reviews of vehicles are subjective experiential reports with the cars in their naturally intended, real world environment.
Additionally," Automobile" reserves a good portion of each issue covering vehicles no longer in production, but still relevant to collectors or automotive history as a whole.
For example, the magazine includes features such as" Collectible Classic," an in- depth review of a particular older car, and reports from recent classic and antique car auctions.
" Automobile" also has a regular column by former General Motors designer Robert Cumberford, who analyzes styling elements of current production models and show cars, often linking their design to those of older cars.
