CAR HISTORY: MAZDA
Mazda began as the Toyo Cork Kogyo Ltd, founded in Hiroshima, Japan
(1920). It renamed itself to Toyo Ko-gyo Co. Ltd in 1927. In the late
1920s the company had to be saved from bankruptcy by
Hiroshima Saving Bank and other business leaders in Hiroshima.
In 1931, Toyo Kogyo moved from manufacturing machine tools to
vehicles to vehicles with the introduction of the Mazda-Go autorickshaw
They also produced weapons for the Japanese army throughout World War 2.
Founder: Jujiro
Matsuda
Found: 1920
Automobile brand
Slogan: Zoom-Zoom
The company formally adopted the Mazda name in 1984, though every car sold from the beginning
bore the name. Their first car was Mazda R360
(1960), followed by popular Mazda Carol
(1962). Beginning in the 1960s, Mazda was
inspired by German NSU Ro 80, and decided to
put a major engineering effort into developing
the Wankel rotary engine as a way of being a
different Japanese car brand than others. The
company formed a business with NSU and began
with limited-production of Mazda Cosmo in
1967. Mazda has become the sole manufacturer
of Wankel-type engines for the automotive
market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mazda’s rotary success continued until the onset of the 1973 oil crisis. As American buyers
quickly turned to vehicles with better fuel economy, the relatively thirsty rotary-powered cars
began to fall out of favor. Combined with the least-efficient automaker in Japan, the company
suffered a huge loss in 1975, when it was on verge of bankruptcy once again and was luckily
saved by Sumitomo Bank. They didn’t gave up making rotary cars, as they continued
producing a variety of four-cylinder models throughout the 1970s (Familia and Capella).
Mazda refocused its efforts and made the rotary engine a choice for sporting motorist rather
than mainstream buyers. Starting with lightweight RX-7 (1978) and continuing with RX-8,
Mazda has continued its dedication to this unique powerplant.

MOTORSPORT HISTORY ------- MAZDASPEED
after 81 hours.
In the racing world, Mazda had substantial
success with both its signature Wankelengine
cars as well as its piston-engined
cars. More Mazdas are raced every week
than any other car brand. As of 2014,
Mazda remains the only Japanese
automaker to win 24 Hours of Le Mans
overall. Mazda’s competition debut was on
20 th October 1968, when two Mazda Cosmo
Sport 110S’ coupes entered the 84 hour
Marathon De La Route ultra-endurance
race at the Nurburgring, one finishing 4 th
place while the other breaking an axle
The first racing victory by a Wankel-powered car in US was in 1973, when Pat Bedard won an IMSA RS
race at Lime Rock Park in a Mazda RX-2. After successes by RX-2 and RX-3, RX-7 has won more IMSA
races in its class than any other model, with its 100 th victory on 2 nd September 1990. Following that,
RX-7 won its class in the IMSA 24 Hours of Daytona race ten years in a row, starting in 1992. The RX-
7 won the IMSA GTU championship each year from 1980 to 1987.
In 1991, a four-rotor Mazda 787B won the 24 Hours Of Le Mans.
The 787B’s triumph remains unparalleled, as it remains the only
non-piston-engined car ever to win Le Mans, and Mazda remains
the only Japanese marque to have won overall at Le Mans. The Le
Mans win followed a decade of class wins from other Mazda
prototypes, including 757 and 767. Mazda is also the most
reliable finisher at Le Mans (with the exception of Honda, which
has entered only three cars in only 1 year), with 67% of entries finished. Mazda returned to prototype
racing in 2005 with the introduction of Courage C65 LMP2 race car at ALMS race at Road Atlanta. The
prototype racer uses the Renesis Wankel from RX-8.
Spec Miata has become one of the most popular and affordable
road racing classes in North America. The Spec Miata class is
intended to provide the opportunity to compete in low cost,
production-based race cars with limited modifications, suitable
for racing competition.

:D :D :D QUESTION OF THE DAY :D :D :D
This is a new thing we implemented for the magazine.
The members are allowed to answer the QOTD of the
magazine. Every edition will have a question that can
cover real life stories and random unknown things. This
edition’s question of the day is:
-- ‘’ WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE
SMELLS? ‘’ -----
In short this means, you have to talk about what smells
do you like most.
My answer is that I love the smell of the perfumed candles. They just smell so great. I’m
luckily not allergic to anything, so I’m good. Other smells I like is vanilla, cinnamon,
gingerbread and nourishment milk. I’m not exaggerating with any of those.
You can answer to this question by using the hashtag #DR1QOTD on Twitter. Your answers
will be exclusively featured on Question Of The Day page in the next editions.
By the way, here’s some funny internet pictures, just for you guys to show how much I love
you.

MUSIC OF THE WEEK -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another special community exclusive made for our magazine. Every edition, I’m
recommending 3 good songs (it can be every genre of music). Everyone is allowed to suggest
to me songs they like and that they feel they should be Music Of The Week. In the future, we
will use the hashtag #DR1MOTW on Twitter.
So here we go:
1. FEDER FT. LYSE - GOODBYE
A pretty cool summer song. I heard it first time on my trip to
Bulgaria. It seems like a good song in the nightclubs. The song is
about revenge in a love relationship.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mptdcx36qZU
2. KYGO FT. PARSON JAMES - STOLE THE SHOW
The famous DJ, Kygo, has released along with Parson James this
amazing song. It has amazing lyrics and background music. One of my
favourites songs right now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF0rsRLYkxc
3. FLY PROJECT- LIKE A STAR
A song that I also heard a lot on the trip to Bulgaria. I love the
beat of it. Not really much to say about this, but that the song
is about treating a woman like a star, while herself being
nearly a diva.
