SA spotted in prerace parade 2011 Le Mans
The 2011 Le Mans ran this past weekend in Le Mans, France. I don't even know won (Audi?) because more importantly it was the 20th anniversary of the Mazda 787B outright win in 1991!!!!
Massive celebrations including the restoration of one of the four original 787B form Hiroshima in order for it to run victory laps on the track before and after the race. The human story behind the win is even more fascinating as can be read from this thread:

They even has an SA running in a parade through the cityalong with the 787B, which is fitting since SA ran at Le Mans in the early 1980s and were the first production Japanese cars to finish the gruelling race placing above some high powered competition.
