Nicholas Watts - Victory For Japan

The four rotor Mazda 787B became the first Japanese car to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans when Johnny Herbert Bertrand Gachot and Volker Weidler took the chequered flag in 1991. Over the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd June the number 55 Mazda covered 362 laps of the famous French circuit and during it's 28 pit stops the winning car received just one oil top up, one change of brake discs, pads and a nose change. Aside from that the 700 bhp four-rotor R26B powered 787B just required fuel and tyre's as it faultlessly  proved the reliability, efficiency and performance of the unique rotary engine technology. With the distinct livery of the Japanese clothing sponsor Renown, the iconic car has become one of the most famous of the Le Mans winners slaying the giants of Mercedes, Jaguar and Peugeot.
