ProBono OpenSource 3D Automotive Project

Greetings,
   And thank you for your interest. I am posting this job on behalf of OpenSource RX, https://www.facebook.com/mazda.osrx/  OSRX is essentially the R&D department of Pettit Racing. We are a Mazda RX7 Rolex Championship winning Team. As a result of Mazda's 50 year old, factory backed RX program taking the back seat to other Mazda programs, OSRX is dedicated to maintaining support and furthering the development of Mazda's rotary engine platform via open source. 

Pro Bono RX3.8 3D Model Project
Currently we are developing a racecar based on the Mazda RX8 platform. The RX3.8 will essentially be a Mazda RX8 with a fiber reinforced composite body/face lift that lends itself to the cult classic Mazda RX3 from the 70's. The concept was recently approved for competition via FARA USA. http://www.farausa.com/  Similar to how the Shelby Cobra has been copied over the years, we encourage the community to copy our design by making all of the cad data public. As a result the existing companies that offer aftermarket Mazda rotary parts will continue to grow around the RX3.8 and other up and coming designs.

OpenSource RX is a Grassroots Motorsports movement; all CAD data will be shared with our open source community. Our goal is to continue racing Mazda based rotary engine powered vehicles. Years after winning the championship, and while qualifying a new car; as a result of racing politics, Pettit Racing experienced an upset after being disqualified from the Rolex Cup in spite of our chassis design putting DRIVER SAFETY first. FARA's rules tend to favor the innovator vs the manufacturer. The following article tells the story. http://dsportmag.com/the-cars/456-whp-carbon-fiber-rx-8/ 
FARA has set the stage for innovators to shine and we are recruiting a team to do just that.

Thank You kindly
Avery Marriott
