Mazda 787B Art Print – Le Mans 1991 Winner Race Car Illustration

Mazda 787B – The Rotary That Conquered Le Mans, Drawn by Hand

On 22 June 1991, something happened at Le Mans that had never happened before and has never happened since. A Japanese manufacturer won the 24 Hours outright — and did it with a rotary engine. The Mazda 787B, powered by the R26B four-rotor Wankel engine producing around 700 horsepower, crossed the finish line first after 24 hours of racing, driven by Johnny Herbert, Volker Weidler, and Bertrand Gachot. It was the culmination of years of Mazda’s stubborn, brilliant commitment to rotary power — a technology every other manufacturer had abandoned.

The sound of that R26B at full chat — a high-pitched, mechanical scream unlike anything else in motorsport — is unforgettable to anyone who heard it. The orange and green Renown livery is one of the most distinctive in Le Mans history. This handmade illustration captures both.
