Mazda 787B LeMans Videos There is no traytop here! lol

These are oldies but goodies, sorry if you have seen it before but if you are a mazda fan you should watch.

quote:
Although the 787 and 787B lacked the single lap pace of World Championship competitors such as Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, and Porsche, as well Japanese Championship competitors Nissan and Toyota, the Mazdas had reliability which allowed them to contend for their respective championships. The reliability of the cars eventually paid off in 1991 when a 787B driven by Johnny Herbert, Volker Weidler, and Bertrand Gachot to victory in the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans. This remains as of 2008 the only victory by a Japanese marque as well as the only victory by a car not using a reciprocating engine design.



The videos are the coverage of the 1991 Lemans Race.

787b at Laguna Seca

I was lucky enough to see the 787b run at Laguna Seca a few years back... The car was touring N. America, en route to SevenStock 7. This was at the 2004 Monterey Historics. Robert Davis (EVP of Mazda USA) was behind the wheel. At then end, he shifted to a lower gear.. so I got to hear it go to red-line :)
