    Dude I love your channel. I’ve watched all your videos, I don’t know how you don’t have more views. Honestly I think if you put the name of the car in your title that it would help. Your videos are never going to show up in a random search because the titles are so random. I just came across your videos by accident.

    great video!! I would encourage people to go test drive one because AS MUCH AS i want to love it!! (i drive a 17 Focus RS, I almost put a deposit down for one) After test drove it This car has made compromises to appeal to the mass which lost its soul a bit for the hardcore enthusiasts. I dont blame Toyota tho cuz at the end of the day they are no charity shops. they need to make money and sell as many as them possible. but thats what makes it less special! Couple things it was far away from the RS. Steering is VERY light. Suspension in the most hardcore setting is still soft. BIG turbo lag (no power under 5k rpm) even they claimed to have a small turbo. but 300 bhp out a 3L engine. there are physical limitations on how you achieving 300 hp. Does not sound good (i drove the circuit edition) the drone from the exhaust is very bad and unpleasant Yes I am aware RS is not as a good a daily of the GR Corolla. cuz the stiff suspension and the HORRIBLE turning radius. but because these things are what made the RS special.

    Howdy Hound Dog. I vaguely remember something rather like this a couple of months ago, which begs that question of whether you maybe running low on material. I always wrote that I didn't want to mention any suggestions because your content was always more entertaining that anything I might think of. Now however, maybe it could be wholesome to gather from that word 'legends' some historical scope and examine some of the legends from back before the Toyota 2000, even back to the Bugatti Type 35, or the more interesting saloon cars, like the Cord or the Duesenberg. The Edsel? There are legends that never made the circuit but that doesn't make them less legendary. Perhaps just less entertaining to teenagers... See you next time.

  • @Skydrag.V60
    @Skydrag.V60 13 дней назад

    If you’ve ever driven a 787b in a racing game against other contemporary Group C cars, you’ll find that it’s actually not the fastest by any margin. It just got incredibly lucky at Le Mans and ended up being the most reliable car on the grid. I’m not trying to say that to insult the car or Mazda’s win, but it’s simply the truth.

    @r32fan92 14 дней назад

    The 787B was not a fast car. The reason it was outlawed in the Group C era was because the rotary engine didn't coincide with the 3.5l N/A engine rule that the FIA was placing on the prototypes. Hell, the only reason it raced in '91 was because Mazda begged the FIA for one more year, just so they could prove that the wankel concept worked.. If you look at the WEC Hypercar rulebook today, you'll notice that there isn't anything ruling out the rotary engine.

    • @nikolabacvanski3372
      @nikolabacvanski3372 9 дней назад

      They downtuned 787, because of reliability, but after the race they looked at the engine and realized that they could have had the same power as the other cars and the engine would have lasted the whole race .. so we will never know how fast it really is

  • @itmethang
    @itmethang 14 дней назад

    Mazda was one of the underdogs like Toyota and Nissan. Although the Rotary engine is reliable, it doesn’t go as fast as Mercedes, Peugeot, Jaguar or even Porsche. They only won Le Mans and not the other. Not that much of “Legendary” to me.

  • @anirudhsridhar6420
    @anirudhsridhar6420 14 дней назад

    The video is good but the 787B was never banned from Le Mans for being "too fast". The FIA announced that they were changing the rules and regulations for participating in the race and the 787B, which ran on a rotary engine, didn't meet those requirements so it would be banned from the next season

    • @dylansmit3883
      @dylansmit3883 13 дней назад

      Mazda even got a break from the FIA by being allowed to run without the 100 kg weight penalty the other old-style Group C cars got. Mazda themselves argued they weren't competitive and the rotary would be outlawed anyway so please no more weight. FIA/ACO agreed. That weight advantage helped the 787B to be more efficient and reduced stress on the engine, helping it to run longer stints and be more reliable. The rest was pure luck.

  • @TinyBearTim

    • @aggonzalezdc
      @aggonzalezdc 7 дней назад

      The 787 was a good car, it was impressive. If we ran that Le Mans 10 more times with the same competitors, it probably would lose 9 times out of 10, that's true. But I think it's a bit disingenuous to say it's a bad car, and Le Mans is about making sure your car can survive and you can stay competitive for 24 hours and capitalize on the errors of others. Was it the fastest car on the grid? No. Was it some good luck that got them the win, sure. But luck alone won't win you a Le Mans.

      @hellomadet 9 дней назад

      The Mazda team was the best among the competitors at Le Mans in 1991, so the Mazda 727B won the entire race. Luck has nothing to do with winning at Le Mans, if a car crashes due to mechanical failure, it's because of the way it was designed and manufactured, if a driver makes a mistake and crashes, it means it wasn't fully ready to compete in a 24-hour race. Endurance racing is a team effort, if Mazda won only by luck, then all Le Mans winners also won only by luck.
