I raced a rotary engined car for several years. One thing you need to consider. The rotary engine is not a torque producer. They make a lot of horsepower, for their size, all at higher RPM's. Reliability is much better than it used to be, however. I was racing GT1 with a 3-rotor turbo charged engine that made 500+ at the rear wheels at the higher RPM's. I had nothing (torque wise below 4000 RPM's)
