Mazda Wins the 1991 Le Mans Race

Although Johnny Herbert is credited for Mazda’s legendary win at the 1991 Le Mans race car in the 787B race car, less is known of the other drivers who helped Mazda to become the first Japanese manufactuerer to win the world-famous 24-hour endurance race. Although Herbert is known and remembered for his legendary Le Mans race win and nine F1 Grand Prix victories, at the time, Bertrand Gachot is also a very important figure; in only his second racing season, he had taken titles in both the European Formula Ford 1600 series and the British Formula Ford 2000 Championship.

Inside Story on the Mazda & Ford Partnership

Mazda 1 ford partnership

Automotive News recently published an article on the partnership that took the automotive industry by storm. The moment Mazda Motor Corp. execs received notice that Ford Motor Co was selling its stakes from 33% to 13%,  Takashi Yamanouchi’s reaction was unforgettable. This was the opportunity that automakers began to see a chance to design their destiny without Ford influence. In this partnership, Mazda helped Ford develop small-car engineering systems and in return, Ford helped with finance and marketing. Although Mazda was excited to have its freedom, the Japanese automaker is looking for partners once again and is willing to sell some of its equity stake.

Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca Hosts New Historic Race Car Lectures

Mazda 2 wraps up with lectures

This past weekend is one of the busiest times of the year for Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca – the track hosts a paddock race series during the weekend every year and this year the Raceway wrapped up the Classic Car Week with a series of lecture series. Brian Redman, three-time Formula 5,000 Champion, said: “The main reason Formula 5,000 came about was that it cost less than half the cost of a Formula One car. The performance was very similar. At Watkins Glen in the U.S. and Motorsport in Canada, where the two types of cars raced in North America, there were two types of cars race in North America, there was less than a half a second between them. Yet in spite of the similarities in performance, they were two different cars.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:
