The History of the Mazda 787B - Japan's First Le Mans Winner

During the late eighties and early nineties, Japanese manufacturers had great success in motorsport. They had great success in Formula 1, rallying and other forms of racing, but one event had eluded them.
This was the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but in 1991 Mazda’s 787B crossed the line in first place, making it the first Japanese car and only rotary powered car to win the event.
Despite all odds the 787B came out on top. Its only problems during the race were a blown headlamp bulb and a precautionary wheel bearing change. In fact, the rotary engine inside the car was in such good condition Mazda claimed that it could do another 24-hour race without any maintenance.
The Mazda 787B is an icon of the motoring world. It was David battling Goliath and will forever be remembered for its incredible win at Le Mans and its monstrous sound that can’t be mistaken for another car.

[@bloqk16]

One aspect I found of particular interest was the hard driving the 787B did to win the Le Mans race, where it compelled the front-runners to slow down with conserving fuel. For the rotary powered 787B to be more fuel-efficient than the conventional internal combustion engines flies in the face of the reputation Mazda had with its rotary-powered passenger vehicles; where equivalent sized Japanese vehicles in the 1980s were getting 40 percent better fuel mileage than the rotary-powered Mazda vehicles.

[@toomanyuserids]

The RX-2 and RX-3 were revelations in the early 1970s, they were rocket ships. But the engine controls and emission controls of the day made their gas mileage sucky, just in time for OPEC to turn off the tap.

I love the videos that are out there now but they mostly talk in relation to the hero car from Need for Speed Most Wanted, I feel like that topic has been talked about a lot but not enough is talked about the actual race car that competed, or the mysterious homologation examples that some say were never even built!

Its peak power - claimed to be 900 hp - is an irrelevance which has caught too many people out because they know nothing about Group C. The deciding factor in Group C was _fuel consumption_ because Group C was a fuel allocation formula, not an unlimited one. For 1,000 kms or six hour races, the maximum fuel allowance was 600 litres. For the 24 hours of Le Mans it was 2,500 litres. There's only one thing you get with increased power: increased fuel consumption. Otherwise, why would Mercedes have bothered with small turbochargers and 720 hp? The things you don't hear about the 787B particularly include the fact that it was hard to drive. It had no power steering and the steering was extremely heavy, which is why Johnny Herbert did not make it to the post race celebrations. He was exhausted. When tested by Belgian motoring journalist and former racing driver, Paul Frere, Frere noted the particularly heavy steering and gear change. To sum it up, the Mazda 787B has garnered a reputation rather beyond what it was worth, much of it based on its fabulous looks and a rather gullible public who don't know much about Group C. Nobody was happier than I was when it won but it needs to be kept in context. It was a long way from being as good as Sauber or Jaguar and light years away from what Porsche achieved with the 956/962. Finally, the engine shriek, so worshipped by the internet - most of whom have never heard an R26B in real life - was almost universally reviled by spectators. It was, IMHO, a horrible sound with no harmonics at an ear splitting level. It was several times louder than any other car and wore out its welcome very quickly. I understand it even made the mechanics ill.
