Two firsts for Mazda
On 23 June 1991, Japanese television programmes were interrupted to witness Mazda win #LeMans24 with the 787B prototype in the hands of Bertrand Gachot, Johnny Herbert and Volker Weidler. The triumph not only made Mazda the first Japanese constructor to feature on the race roll of honour, it was the first (and only) time a car with a rotary engine claimed victory.
