I thought Rod's cars were still rotary though. At least the FC he raced on Pikes Peak, right?

Yup, the Pike's peak FC and all the previous RX7's and RX3's he raced were all rotary, but he also ran with an AWD turbo Mazda 323 (4-banger). In the early '90s he parted ways with Mazda and started racing Toyota's.
