@kimnorkim Got to agree man! After all, rotor engines are petrol. But diesel engines are of different diet! So technically they shoud let rotary engines compete again!
A true racing icon the 787B. Its a shame they forced the use of the 3.5L F1 engines in 1992. Guess they were too scared of Mazda becoming a dominant force. Either that, or the other manufactures wined about how they don't want to spend the hours on working on a car that could out last the R26B engine.
i mean its not winning if u come 2nd place and the nissan was the fastest on the track but failed to win lol MAZDA DA BEST COMIN FROM JAPAN WHEN IT COMES TO RACING
a fast and light engine with a awesome iddling sound and anice sound win destroying the competision. To bad they don't make any of those nice cars anymore :(
blame it on the FIA and the ACO. after Mazda won LeMans in '91, they effectively banned the rotary engine by mandating a lot of restrictions on it. Mazda chose not to run the 787B in '92 onwards because of that. now the actual chassis is almost worshipped in Japan...
It was hard for them to swallow that a Japanese car with a smaller displacement engine beat the competion where the Euro and US manufacturers dominated Le Mans.
Great historic video.Fantastic that Mazda could beat everybody.Kudos to the Wankel engine.Too bad that Felix didnt live to see his engine win at Le mans
unfair weight advantage my ass

Mazda made some good cars, but only in Japan. In America the only Mazda I would buy is an Rx7 or Rx-8, all the other Mazda cars are crap.
