good old days.
and they ban it right after Mazda's win. then they set some "so much for being fair" rules just to give Mazda a hard time.

I wonder why whenever I see the 787b on display, they have to blip the throttle like that? Is it because with a low, constant throttle, it will not burn all of the fuel and cause some sort of flooding?

it's because it scares the little german drivers to hear that engine.

Actually, anything that wasn't a 3.5 V10 was banned. Nissan and Porsche turbos, Jaguar V12s, etc were out.
It was Bernie Eccelstone's grand plan to screw sports car racing and make everyone develop F1 engines so he could fill the F1 grid. By 93 there were less than 10 cars and fewer races in WSC.

Le Mans then got much less popular. that's what they deserve.

And a Speedhunters article
And they had an LMP2 win in 1996 with a 20B Kudzu (I think that's Jim Downing's company)

I don't see why they don't at least use a rotary in ALMS. It may not be competitive in power but at least it can finish a race. That MZR engine has had numerous mechanical failures.

They competed with an FC-looking RX-7 in 1994. 15th place between two NSXs.
