Headlining the 2026 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, the 787B—draped in its unmistakable Renown livery and powered with a 2.6-liter four-rotor Wankel engine—will be the hero racecar within the JDM Mazda Exhibit located at the paddock courtyard at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. It will do demonstration laps and live engine fire-ups scheduled across all four days of the Reunion.

The 787B anchors an extraordinary lineup of Mazda racing machinery spanning six decades. Flanking the Le Mans winner will be the 1967 Cosmo Sport—the car that launched Mazda’s rotary legacy, the 1989 767B-002, the 1990 787-002, the 1991 RX-7 GTO, 1992 RX-792p, and the most recent Mazda prototype racecar, the 2019 RT24-P. Together, they tell the full arc of one of motorsport’s most singular engineering stories.

Mazda will bring a roster of legendary drivers to match, including Tristan Nunez & Tom Long who will pilot the 767B & the 787 in Group C competition. The Japanese endurance racing icon Yojiro Terada driving the 787B in Friday & Saturday’s Japanese Cars Exhibition Sessions. Also, IMSA racing legend, Tommy Kendall, who arrives alongside his own 1986/1987 IMSA GTU Championship-winning Mazda RX-7.

The Mazda presence extends beyond the racetrack. Ikuo Maeda, Mazda Executive Fellow of Design and Brand Style, and Brad Audet, Mazda North America Chief Marketing Officer, will serve as guest judges at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, widely regarded as the most prestigious automotive event in the world.

Fewer than 200 cars from across the globe earn an invitation to compete each year. This year, both the 787 and 787B have been invited for display on the main lawn as a part of the Japanese Motorsports class, a fitting honor for machines that transcend racing and belong to automotive history.

The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion runs August 12 to 15 at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, followed by the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on August 16.
