24h Le Mans
The Mazda 787B will be one of the stars of Le Mans Classic Legend (2-5 July 2026). The Group C prototype – a 24 Hours of Le Mans icon – will be back at the circuit in a demonstration capacity. Don’t miss the chance to see, and hear, one of the most emblematic cars in the history of endurance racing.
Some race cars are born to become legends. The Mazda 787B definitely falls into that category.
In 1991, the car earned Mazda a historic 24 Hours of Le Mans victory. The manufacturer became the first Japanese marque to win the world’s greatest endurance race, long before Toyota’s success in La Sarthe.
Developed by Mazdaspeed, the 787B boasts outstanding technology: a four-disc rotary engine with an output of almost 700 hp. Once again, the 24 Hours of Le Mans served as a test ground, enabling Mazda to push its mechanical architecture to the limit.
Thirty years on, the Mazda 787B is still a favourite, not least thanks its distinctive “voice”. The scream of the high-pitched rotary engine is a signature sound immediately recognisable to endurance racing fans.
Le Mans Classic Legend spectators will have three opportunities to admire the Mazda 787B in action.
10-minute demonstrations are scheduled on:
Spectators will be treated to an arresting parade from one of the most emblematic cars in the history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
