NOOOOOOOO!!!

the 787B will not be there? (according to sevenstock.org)
why? what happeend?

of course the other Le Mans is cool too,
but just once in my life i want to see the legend...

thats what i get for missing sevenstock 7

 

yup.. 4 & 7 !

 

Bummer isn't it.. not to worry though.. 4-rotors will be present!

 

i can't wait to see those =D

 

787b probably already went back to japan. it must've cost quite a bit to ship that car all over the world for shows 'n stuff

 

Yes it does. Add to that the cost of it's own tech crew. 3 people dedicated

 

Just curious, how many "Renown" 787b's are out there around the world?

 

2. Both from the 1991 race. There was a third 4-Rotor that competed in 1991 as well, the 787.

 

And one of them is in my climate controlled garage.

 

Don't be an ***. Show pics.

um, i thought only one of the 787b's had the renown graphics. the other one that competed in the same race had different graphics, the blue 'n white mazda scheme

 

so, according to paul frere's r&t article a few years ago, in addition to the 3 race entries in '91 mazda also had a reserve car. wonder what happened to that one?

 

It'd be neat to know where the 717C, 727C, 737C, 757, 767, and the 767B all are.

 

I won't miss seeing the 787B this year, as Jim Downing will be bringing at least one of the RX-792P IMSA cars that his group ran here in the States for a few years. I have heard from Holly that Downing/Atlanta was restoring the vehicle(s) for Mazda, and that they will also bring a number of older rotary-racers (RX2s and RX3s) to the event to emphasize Mazda's proud racing history.

Should be a spectacular show, as always!
