- The Mazda 323 or Familia was a regular yet unsuccessful competitor in the WRC during the early nineties. The type BG-8 GTX was underpowered at first when it replaced the BF 4WD in 1990. It also developed serious heat issues. To compensate for these problems, the GT-R with more power and a different intercooler was introduced in 1992 and homologated in January 1993. The car was much more up to the competition, but couldn't ever show it's real potential because the works team withdrew in 1992 due to financial problems. It was still used by many privateers and had some success at national level, with overall victories dating as late as 2019.
The group N versions were much more successful on WRC level, following a drivers' and manufacturers' title for the BF 4WD, the GTX and GT-R also won the FIA Cup for Production Rally Drivers once each in 1991 and 1993 respectively.
The video shows the best scenes of the Mazda 323 GTX and GT-R that I captured during the last decade in Austria, Germany and Australia. Enjoy!
This is part three of a series of compilations, every Saturday we will take a look back on a specific car in rallying.

I have a base model and you can tell these were built differently. Even with the stock 1.6 Just slings that little car around Its crazy to think what thats like with triple that power. That and they don't ever break. 321,000 Miles and still going. Only ever had to replace clutches.
I like even to drive my 1.6l automatic, good Handling.
My first ever car back in 2002 was a 1988 Mazda 323. Thanks for doing this vid.
ファミリアやっぱり格好いいよ‼️😊
I spent my day today working on a 1988 323 GTX. 86k miles, all original, fun to drive.

Thanks, I wasn't really aware that the group N versions were quite successful in the Production Cup (although there wasn't much competition judging from the results on ewrc). I only focused on the group A history.
I will add the titles of the GTX and GT-R in the description :)
very good ! the WRC title 89 Gr.N for Manufacturer it was finally won at RAC Rally against four Lancia Delta and also Ford ,Mitsubishi , Toyota !
MAZDAはレシプロでも戦える。
interesting how hard it would be to swap bpt and gtx drivetrain to my 323f ahah
I know people that imported the GTX and GTR engines and put them in their 2nd gen Ford Escort GTs which had the same 1.8L just NA. If only Ford had done that.
Had a hopped up B6T in a gutted 1990 Ford Festiva. Freightening little car.
Horsepower??
This video shows exactly why the GTR and bigger GTR turbo were the downfall of this car. Very laggy for the 1.8 (same engine in both cars, tear downs prove it), no power down low, shorter gearbox only made the problem worse w/ less time at higher rpm where the car makes power. The GTX was a far superior setup for rally, small turbo w/ instant boost, long gears so you aren't shifting 100 times a section, and a no mess intercooler design. Whoever thought a front mount on a rally car was a good idea needed to be fired, same goes for non draining holes on the hood.
Many of the cars in this video aren't even 1,8.
Basically all of the turbo rally cars have a FMIC. I don't know why this is a problem.
