  Mazda 787B - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United Kingdom, Mazda would release a special edition of its MX-5 with the racing color and also a supercharger, the car is one of the most sought after special edition cars of its model.
Long a proponent of the rotary engine, Mazda has maintained a rotary-engined road car for many years, though sales of the Mazda RX-7 were stopped in most U.S. states in 1996 (and in Japan in 2002) until release of the 2003 Mazda RX-8.
Due to its iconic status, Mazda refused to restore the car which resides in the museum, preferring to and only allow the other non winning car which was painted in the winning livery to be driven in historic events which resides at the Le Mans museum.

 Wankel engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unfortunately for Mazda, their switch to this solution was immediately followed by a sharp rise in the cost of gasoline worldwide, so that not only the added fuel cost of their 'thermal reactor' design, but even the basically lower fuel economy of the Wankel engine caused sales to drop alarmingly.
Mazda is the only team from outside Western Europe or the United States to have won Le Mans outright and the only non-piston engine ever to win Le Mans, which the company accomplished in 1991 with their four-rotor 787B (2622 cc actual displacement, rated by FIA formula at 4708 cc).
Mazda is also the most reliable finisher at Le Mans (with the exception of Honda, who have entered only three cars in only one year), with 67% of entries finishing.

 History of Rotary - The Motorsport Challenges
Mazda came up with the plan to participate in motor racing to prove that the rotary engine, the world's first mass-produced engine of its kind, ensured high-performance, reliability and durability.
In addition, Mazda outperformed all its rivals in the Series in 1989 and 1990, resulting in a superb record of ten Manufacturer's titles, trumpeting the name of its brand as a major actor in international racing.
Mazda participated in the 1979 Daytona 24-hour, the season opener of the Series, outpacing the rest of the GTU-class (Engine displacement equal to or less than 3,000cc) for a surprising 1-2 finish.

Note however that there are many differences between the 1990 787 and the 1991 787B, the most noticable ones being a 25mm increase in wheel base and a reshaped rear deck.
Especially during the 1991 WSC season the 787 and 787B cars were changing colors often and the two types are difficult to tell apart.
Note that during the 1990 season and early in the 1991 season up to the Le Mans 24hrs race, the 787's were fitted with 17in wheels similar to those in the Hasegawa 767B kits.

Koby-san who just retired after 37 years of service with Mazda was a member of the original rotary engine development team and he is also considered to be the grandfather of the third generation RX-7.
He was in charge of Mazda's victorious assault at Le Mans and because of that he drove the 787B onto a red carpet at the event (see the video collection at the bottom of the page).
The mantra for Mazda's 1991 effort should have been, "I think I can, I think I can" because this team should be referred to as "the little OEM that could".

 Mazda RX-8 and Rotary Community » Racing Pedigree
Mazda has always turned to the track to illustrate the power and durability of its rotary engine.
Throughout the 1970s and 80s, Mazda unleashed one fearsome rotary racecar after another - the R100 European Touring Car, the RX-3 Coupe, and the unstoppable RX-7 (pictured above) that stormed to victory in the 1978 Daytona 24-hour race as well as an unprecedented 100 wins in the IMSA series races.
But undoubtedly, the summit of Mazda’s racing excellence reached new heights in 1991 when its lengendary orange and green-liveried 787B (pictured above) took the chequered flag at the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race.
