i see you'll discredit a rotary no matter what the circumstance. No matter how winning the result. They only place i'll give you a rotary is worse of then an American V8 is the expense required.

I seriously can't believe someone who says a rotary car having a racing class make specs specifically for it. In fact, most race organisers tried their best to keep a rotary restricted as much as possible. Never more so than 1991's Le Mans

In 1991 at Le Mans, the ACO did whatever possible to keep Mazda from racing the 787B. Only word from Jacky Ickx changed their mind. So they allowed the car to be built to Category 2 specification. Not the more current Category 1 with F1 derived engines. To add, all the Cat 1 cars would start at the front of the grid irregardless of where they qualified. So, the 787B started 19th even though it qualified 12th.

Competition for the 787B; the last 3 great Gr C race cars. Pugs 905, Sauber C11, and the fendered F1 car that was the Jag XJR-14.



Rotaries...banned at Le Mans since 1992.

JGTC in terms of GT500 or GT300?
GT500 requires facotry efforts and Mazda has never had one.
GT300. That car was built by Re Amemiya not a factory team as the issue with the GT300 is not engine but chassis choice. You can even race Daytona Prototypes against GT3s.

What under 2 liter racing are you talking about?
"run what you brung" would be a class without ballast weight requirements. The ban that effected the 787b was announced before the car won, it wasnt a result of the car winning. just so happens the car won the year before it took effect. They add weight based on displacement, there's no fair and accurate way to apply a universal rule for both piston and rotary engines. The 787b was much lighter than any car on the track that day, thats why it won..... not because it was rotary powered. Being rotary was the reason it was allowed to be so light, but not the reason it won.

Also, you rotards are getting all butt hurt about my opinion. I'm not comparing the engine to a Ford Fiesta engine.... so far i've compared it to an sr20 and an ls1...... if you're insulted by me comparing a rotary to either of those highly respected engines..... then you need to pull your head out of the clouds.

As i said before, agree to disagree..... i love rx7s.... rx7 will most likely be my next project, when it happens..... i'll let you guys know which dumpster you can find a rotary in.
