@lynel1985 Correct... Mazda fanboys (sorry the term, I just have to use it in context) just want to believe that it was banned and apparently too ignorant to even read Wikipedia for 5 minutes.
There were first the original Group C regulations, that basically did not have other engine rules other than fuel limits. 1991 was a transitional year, cars classified either to the old rules or the new rules 3.5L NA rules were allowed, from 1992 onwards only the new cars.

@spoochmonkey what about the audi r10 tdi

@TheBedfordboyz it wasnt that it was a rotary that they banned it. As a rotary there is no way to measure its displacement and thus house it in a set of rules that is then fiar on the other competitiors. displacement people attribute to it was 2.6L being a quadrotor but it also has 3 igntion cyles per rotor rotation so is its displacmeent really 2.6 or 5.2 or 7.8 and at the time i believe there was a limit of 5L or 4L i cant remember. Rules were changed not to ban them but to reclassify them

@spoochmonkey development was not stopped it was just banned after winning Le Mans in 1991 the FIA did not like the sound of a rotary winning so they changed the rules it happens alot look at the TZ750 in flat track racing in the 70's .

That is fucking sexy beast of a Mazda. I say that they should have stopped racing development when this was made. Then racing today would only consist of cars like this (wild and passionate) not those watered down safety cones on wheels the driver's drive today.
