MAZDA Museum

3-1 Shinchi, Fuchu, Aki District, Hiroshima 735-0028

Working car factory museum where a Le Mans-winning rotary racer sits inside a recreated pit garage.

This guide to the MAZDA Museum in Hiroshima centers on the 787B race car sitting inside a recreated pit garage, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1991 that put it there. It follows driver Johnny Herbert being helped out of the cockpit after the final stint, and Mazda's decision to race a rotary engine that spun far higher and sounded unlike anything else on the circuit, in the one season before officials banned the technology for good. You'll also hear about co-drivers Volker Weidler and Bertrand Gachot, racing under a rule about to disappear forever.
