The 1991 Le Mans 787B thread!
 

I did a brief search for simliar thread, couldnt find one, this legendary race car is talked a lot on the forum, but there is not a single thread that is dedicated to it, I guess I'll start by sharing with you guys an awesome video I just found.

I think it was made RECENTLY, its got good video quality and by far the BEST sound quality of any 787B video, they recorded it from track side and INside the cockpit.

Enjoy rotorheads :)

he never put the car in 5th the whole vid...and stayed in 1 and 2 alot =(....wanna see that thing fly through 5th at the "nur" =)

man I love that car, especially the looks, while i realize race cars are function over forum, i really liked tht style, and the 792P.

Good that they drive it once and a while too.

I hope they have a SevenStock 10 so i can hear a 787B in person... :( .

we were told that it would never return to the US after Sevenstock 7. We'll see if it's true.

maybe one of you guys can help I want a video of the 1991 race, I got one but its in PAL format and we have the american NTSC system

maybe one of you know where to get the video?
the one that I got its from DUKE videos

I am a bit partial to the 792P also. This is bit of a plug but I am looking forward to this book which I believe should have some indepth analysis of the 792.

I have an urge to place an order on that.

This is a better one for "proper" high speed stuff. Much better impression of a race car.

I got the tail fin from that car at SSX :ylsuper: :Peace:

I have some great pics of this car in acction at work if anybody wants then ill post them on monday, they are low res pics, it is really hard to find pics of this car racing, it only race for one seasson and mazda was not in a really good $$ situation but the main problem was that it had no where to race, rule changes in most of the racing series made it obsolete and illegal to race it

its such a beautiful car, looks better than 787B IMO. When ALMS goes closed cockpit, I hope to see some nice cars again, open cockpit is ugly.

When would Mazda return to Le Mans, they shouldn't have any financial troubles now.

Sorry to divert this thread to the 792 but I love the looks of it more. I would love some more pics if you could post them when you get a chance Rotary Crazy.

going to open copit was a big mistake, at the time of the gtp cars you would see a 60 car field and thats P1 AND C2

sure! will do on monday, if you want hi res pics go to the sevenstock threat, the pictures I have are low res but the car is on track racing

sorry that I dint post this before, like I said before they are low res pics but the important thing is that the car is on track racing in them, if you want hi res pics theres a lot of pics from sevenstock

my favorite one

I loved the vid, and the car looked so great at SSX, no wonder it won

the engine sound is just awesome!

any one knows what mazda did with the #78, I think I remember somebody that told me they used it to restore the #77?
