Mazda 787B 

In this episode, I cover the Mazda 787B, a racecar developed in the early 1990s that would go on to be the first rotary power racecar to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With this car, Mazda would also become the first Japanese automaker to win this prestigious race. 

Thanks for Listening!
