It won Le Mans in 1991. As far as I know the first and rotary-powered car to win it.

 

[f1king]

Yeah it was the first. And just do a search for 787b and youll get a hole bunch of sites about it and pics.

You've come to the right place, I'm MazKid, I'll be your informer:

The 787B won LeMans in 1991
787B is actually the engine code, much like the 13B that is in the RX-7.
it is a Med engined, Rear wheel drive set up.
it's 4 rotors, so that's like putting 2 13Bs together.
The paint job has been used on RX-7s, Miatas, and RX-8s(look through the GTC screen shots).
For all the stats go to GT3 and go to the Mazda dealer, and highlight the 787B and it will tell you everything. And for the numbers just go to specs.

Hope that helps.

I heard that "Zoom Zoom" translates to "Boo Boo" in Japanese

The 787B is probaly the best race car in the game. Although it aint as powerful as the GT-One or R390 GT1, it can definitley kick their asses around corners I even managed to place 2nd in the Formula GT with it (although I didnt actually manage to nab a gold in any of the races, Im still happy because my friends couldnt even finish in 4th with a non-formula car in that series)

In the game, it's a rocking car. I did the Tokyo Enduro in it and it was fast and clean, lapping quickly and consistently across a tyre stint. I won by about 3 laps, without even trying too hard.

The 1991 Le Mans win was Johnny Herbert's only major race win that wasn't due to sheer luck. It wass quite a brave thing of Mazda to do to sign him, given Le Mans' enduro status, and Johnny's ability to retire a car...

It's also the only Japanese made car to win at Le Mans.

dont really like mazdas much,but i do like the way the rear axle shows on the rear,it looks real....

 

[f1king]

you should give it a chance thats a history making car. And most of the mazdas are great in the game.

[f1king]

rotarys are cool because of how they keep the rpm high as you change gears I love them.

 

[DessViperV-10]

the miata is cool fully tuned and on that damn endurance race....

i only like it for the endurance race,otherwise the car is gay

 

[f1king]

Yeah it is GAY>

yeah it's real tough with the 787B .....i managed to get 3 golds in the series (my best driving) ....if you want to win the series or get all golds in the series then you pretty much have to use an F1 car but good job on coming 2nd anyways

i would be liking the RX7 before i like the miata ......the miata is just an affordable sporty ride whereas the RX7 is a "real" sports car

 

[MazKid]

looks like you guys are talkin bout Mazdas, I'll come in:

Loud-you've said that 10 times already, and it's not a girly car.

Dess-That's nice that you can choose a lower car over the top of the line. I like the Miatas because they look good and they handle really well. They make awsome hybrids too, and all of the hidden Miatas are neat.

And Schumy-real sports car? The Miata is a real sports car. While it happens to be only 155HP(LS), it's pretty fast.

And I think all of the Mazdas in GT3 are great, they needed to add more cars though, like:
MX-6 GT ('88-'92)
Millenia S
323 GTX
MX-3 GS
RX-3
Cosmo 26B
Protege (5 or MP3)
AZ-1(like GT2)
Atenza/6(although it was too late to be made into GT3)


That's about it.

Ah! I forgot to search for 787 without the B in the title. Well it's your fault for leaving off the B (:

Thanks for reminding me about the thread, though. It's a good read (:

Actually a go kart these days might beat the miata up.
