The 'disks' on the front are brake ventillators just in case anyone wants to know. They do not heat the brakes, they help keep them cool when being used a lot. Mazdaspeed put them on for show because they pre-heat the brakes anyway. They help shift hot air out from the wells of the rims so that the two front intakes can deliver more cool air to the brakes. This helps them stayat optimum temperatures and helps reduce the risk of them overheating.

It's an absolutely ecstatic sound. I was lucky enough to here it at the same Goodwood FOS. Wonderful. Only the F1 V10s and classic Ferrari flat 12s come close.
This car is amazing, one of the most thrilling sounds in the history of racing. They need to put this baby back on the track it's been isolated for years XD
Wordreet, the 700ish hp (closer to 750) was in enduro trim with a lower rev limit (7,500rpm IIRC) for reliability and fuel conservation due to the fuel economy regs at Le Mans at the time. In 'sprint' trim and closer to 9,000 rpm limit it produced around 900hp.
Also if I remember correctly the 3rd plug fired at the same time as one of the others (no1 I think) to give more of a flame front ensuring a more even burn. It is an amazing engine with a noise like no other.
You should also thank Mr. Felix Wankel for bringing the rotary engine up and the Japanese for following up, seeing the innovation of the design and actually building it. Cheers.
Thanks... i've built many rotary cars. My favorite being my old FD drag car seen in my channel. I might build another one someday after paying off my student loans
I found this on wiki "At the Le Mans 24 hour endurance race in 1991 the 26B had significantly lower fuel consumption than the competing reciprocating piston engines. All competitors had the same amount of fuel available due to the Le Mans 24 hour limited fuel quantity rule."
iv seen this thing at le mans kinda as a "bring back the past" tribute when i went to lemans one one year....needless to say it was the loudest thing iv ever heard...
@sciencefact No, That is a Maserati MC 12 from the FIA GT 1 in 2004. You can see this car in action at my Goodwood FOS 2011 Pure sounds movie. That car sounds good too! But ofcourse it cant win against the 787B sound.
@Marcus666Sund. In the 1991 LeMans race, the 787b was the most fuel efficient car there as many other cars were 7L plus V12s etc. That great fuel economy allowed them to run flat out for the race, something that the Mercs and Jags couldn't do without running out of their fuel allocation. As a road car however they are not that economical for their capacity.
Actually you're right. lol Since the engine is so simple in nature it makes it extremely lightweight and when you couple it with the power this thing made it was almost unfair to anyone with a V type engine when this thing ran. It was a monster.
@Zankaroo Well Goodwood festifal of speed is a hill climb. They going one by one up to the hill. When they are on top they park the car. When everybody is at the top they will drive in formation back to the paddock. Then they are driving pretty slow and maybe a good moment to give a burnout ore something!
with racing brakes you always need to warm them up for them to work at 100% the reason why brake fade occurs is they get too hot, but they will also not work if they are too cold, so you need to have a balance between how fast they heat up vs how fast they cool down, since lemans is such a fast track it makes sence for them to have the front wheels covered as after driving 400km/h down the mulsane for a full minute your breaks would cool to fast
They're actually now moving to Fuel injection with "the car of tomorrow" even though not every race is using the car just yet as they are still figuring it all out. Kinda weird tho, you'd think they hire some Fuel Injection tuners and have some beastly cars. Even Tanner Foust in his Scion TV drift car uses a Nascar V8 converted to Fuel injection and its pumping out something around 700hp. IIRC that car was built in less than 6 months
Mostly, yes. The rotary engine's gasket surrounding the triangle-formed piece in the engine (piston) doesnt fully close the chambers, as such it will leak oil and gas across the entire cylinder. Its why the rotary isnt used much as a commercial engine. Its power-to-weight ratio is immense but there's just too many problems with them. Magnificent design nontheless, if i would get to pick just one car, it'd be the 787B. Sound, power, and all that from a 2.6 Liter N/A engine.
The rotary wasn't banned. Do some fact finding. FIA changed the rules the following year which put restrictions on the rotary engine. They didn't flat out ban the engine. Mazda kept campaigning their cars in LeMans for a few years afterwards until they stopped the program altogether.
700 HP only in le mans due to rules and rev limit at 9000 rpm, it can safely make something below 1000hp without any modifications except the rev limiter less strict
The reason these engines sound so fu$%&*£ amazzzzzzing is that they have 3 spark plugs for every single one of their four rotors. So, as far as I can work out, that's 3 bangs per revolution of each rotor. 10,000 rpm = 120,000 explosions per minute!!!!! o..0 I can't believe it even though I just typed it! The rotors are offset from each other on the crankshaft, so each firing happens without overlapping any other. Totally smooth power at 700bhp. Niiice. :¬P
They already have 3 rotors in the lineup, but they never put any 4 rotors into commercial production like the one that sits inside this 787b, but numerous people have rebuildt their engines wishing for a quad rotor, so you actually have to build it yourself to get the thing that you wish for. Mad Mike did and so will I. I will have a 1000 bhp quad rotor inside a caterham, which already has low weight, the same with the quad rotor so it should weigh less than 500 kilograms in the end.
I havent owned hundreds.... but i have built and tuned hundreds of rotary engines. Anyone can be an expert on a rotary engine..... its really easy to learn how to build, and with the right equipment, trial and error can tell you alot more than a theory as to what works and what doesnt. I've already preached to enough people on here that all you have to do is search my name. Liking something, and KNOWING something are two totally different things.
Great video, just a shame the track dont seem to allow for it to get up in gear, nothing better than the 787b, going full throttle, changing up in gear, and full on again.. Mmh.. And the downshifts with heel&toe used.. Just a pure eargasm. :) Thanks for uploading anyway!
19 was the average for mixed driving..... I have a bone stock FD that gets 12-16 in the city and 26-32 highway. The only actual mods I have is a Haltech PS2000 tuned to run the AFR's a bit leaner and better timing, as well as a separate ignition system for a much stronger spark, which also gave the car much better response. Its my daily with 115k miles on the original motor, and dyno'd 247hp/231tq on stock everything even the stock 10psi of boost. It'll soon be single turbo
@briegezicht heb een waarschijnlijke verklaring:zoals je @2:53 kunt horen,zit er een heeeeeele lange 1ste versnelling in,net als bij alle andere raceauto's en omdat de auto's in de rij staan wachten om weg te rijden voor hun demo run,duwen ze de auto iedere keer,alleen om de koppeling niet te veel te belasten.
Probably these rims are only for the warm-up. These type of racing brake work best at high temperature. In order to get at that point, they have to warm them a bit before the race.
Also I don't know what you're talking about but none of the modern LMP1s produce less than 550hp and that's just a conservative figure, actual power outputs tends to be higher, especially in factory cars.
Do you mind telling me where did you get that info. Would be nice to read about those cars. I really like rotary engines, did you know that mazda has stopped the rotary engine production... sad :(
I would describe the sound the 4-Rotar engine makes as a complete symphony. Rhythm, brass, and wind all in perfect harmony.
This car sounds FANTASTIC! Amazing video
HistoricRacingHD Mazda 787 B my favorite race car engine sound like a 4cyinder engine sound so beautiful engine sound Drive this car

it's a 4 rotor engine it makes a typical sound like this. (personally I think this sounds better then nowadays F1 cars)

Well done, brilliant video. It was brilliant to have a chance to see this car run as it will probably be back in the museum soon.
mazda took it everywhere in 2011 as it was 20 years since it won le mans. it's now back in their museum.

awesome video! I saw the 787 a few days ago at Seven Stock 2012! Simply amazing!
love of my life 787b !!!
i love this car SO MUCH, I LOVE I LOVE
Oh God, this is time of year I start looking forward to Goodwood again!
I love its sexy idle noise it just make it feel like its ready to give you its raw power
I love how you can still hear it idle while the guy is revving it... such an awesome motor. Hope I can see/hear one in real life someday.
Such an amazing sounding engine.
Wow, great car and what a sound!!

Proud to own a Mazda!
Every year there are other cars! I think ive been 5 times at Goodwood FOS so far and have seen the mazda once!
Also if I remember correctly the 3rd plug fired at the same time as one of the others (no1 I think) to give more of a flame front ensuring a more even burn. It is an amazing engine with a noise like no other.
Music to my Soul.......Mazda go forth and make greatness again
Omg I'm in love
i come here everyday to get my daily dose of 787b :)
Nissan R390, Toyota GT-ONE, Mazda 787B are my favorites :D very beautiful cars
00:54, my eyes were in tears until the end of the video... the best engine sound!

@adcuz Yeah, its now at Laguna seca and this car go back to the mazda museam i think.
But i hope i can see this car some more times! ( on the track )
WOW!!!!Nice car and nice sound!
I think this was one of the loudest cars on the festival, But there where 100's of more great sounded (loud) cars!
Racing Nurburgring on GT5 with this car is fun as hell, it pwns everytime!
i'd go to goodwood just to see that beast!

How I would love to recieve a delivery of a road version of this car with a note that say "da best most deadly sounding car with love from Japan."
oft, what a noise! Praying that this car will be there in 2012.
Man this car sound is giving me cargasm!!!!!
It works like a pan, it draws the air in through the slots. its not completely closed, but has little slots like i said.
Oh thanks man!
simply amazing!
Ik had nog nieteens geliked dit.. Terwijl ik met regelmaat kijk haha;)

@cipancomel gotta love the good ol sound of a rotary engine.
That idle is brutal! My engine is nowhere near that level even at WOT!
Savage note from that rotary engine. Sounds like a tuned up motorbike.
with racing brakes you always need to warm them up for them to work at 100% the reason why brake fade occurs is they get too hot, but they will also not work if they are too cold, so you need to have a balance between how fast they heat up vs how fast they cool down, since lemans is such a fast track it makes sence for them to have the front wheels covered as after driving 400km/h down the mulsane for a full minute your breaks would cool to fast
That 4 rotor motor is begging to be unleashed on the racetrack when it is revving like that!!!
dat redline engine sound....so amazing
The beast in the road...
ooohh jongens wat een geluid....gewoon super.
because it's not a regular engine, not V not I, but rotary. Look it up on wikipedia and you'll instantly know why it makes the sound.
They're actually now moving to Fuel injection with "the car of tomorrow" even though not every race is using the car just yet as they are still figuring it all out. Kinda weird tho, you'd think they hire some Fuel Injection tuners and have some beastly cars.

it was rebuilt when they took it to le man for its 20th anniversary at le man

what is the point of the different rim in the front than the back does it have something to do with the cars weight distribution?
OMG :-O
I wan't see and listen one, you're very lucky.
Mazda Museum - Hiroshima, Japan. The original race engine also sits next to it on an engine stand.
The rotary wasn't banned. Do some fact finding. FIA changed the rules the following year which put restrictions on the rotary engine. They didn't flat out ban the engine. Mazda kept campaigning their cars in LeMans for a few years afterwards until they stopped the program altogether.
dang. finally a rotary engine that sounds good
best sound engine ever
02:42「イイね～♪」
The 4 rotor is treated as a 12 cylinder because it has 3 separate combustion faces per rotor. Not because each rotor is its own "cylinder"
700 HP only in le mans due to rules and rev limit at 9000 rpm, it can safely make something below 1000hp without any modifications except the rev limiter less strict

Legen... wait for it... dary!
Brakes operate best around a temperature of about 700-900 degrees centigrade. So heating the brakes might very well be a possiblity!
I think next year its going to race in the GROUP C class, Otherwise maybe at the goodwood FOS ore a Mazda race day and stuff like that.
