No doubt one of PDs alternative colour schemes. See BMW below. Incidentally, looking at the GT4 instruction manual, you will see a picture of the alternative colour scheme for the Judd Pescarolo. P 29
Further, the instruction booklet contains an interesting pre-race image of group of cars. p.11
It includes:
Blue and yellow coloured Ford GT 05
White Red and Green coloured Ford GT 05
Blue Dodge Viper GTS/R 00
White Red and Black coloured W12 Nardo 01
Red Pagani Zonda C12s 7.3 02

I disagree. I think the 787B was the best sounding car in GT3.

cool, i wonder how many different ones there are 💡 so youd do the same race that you won the first car on to get different version?

Well, I think you totally missed my second post when I replied to your statement about carbon brakes needing cooling and duct work. Here..........icon
I understand that carbon brakes aren't perfect, and yes, they can overheat (very spectacularly, I must say, also). But, as you can see in my second post, I think it was more of a choice between wanting a highly aero-efficient package, or giving the brakes a bit more flow. At a track like La Sarthe, where speed is a huge factor, I believe the speed and aero would be a higher benefit. And, like I also said in that post, with brake changes a common thing in the pits at the 24HR race, cooking the brakes a bit faster than usual doesn't hurt you as much.JNasty4G63
Not true. Carbon discs have been used in racing since the mid-late 80's. They've been used in the aerospace industry since the '70s. Brembo even talks about this on their website. Interestinly, some of the first uses of carbon discs were used in drag cars in mid 80's. Used mainly for weight savings, but the use was there. And, to quote that R&T article from that link earlier.........Buck-O
My position still stands. The 787B, as most cars racing the 24HR race, are very high-tech, and highly advanced. I'm sure in 1991 they would have had them. And, as you said, I'm also sure the vanes on the disc is to help get heat out. But, the reason for it being flat on top is to help the air more cleanly move over the wheel. If the wheel isn't covered, and the rim dips in from the plane of the bodywork, it could disrupt the air a bit more than they want. Like I said earlier, I'm sure its just a trade-off. Run the discs for a better aero package on high speed tracks, or open them up and cool the brakes more on lower speed tracks.R&T

In response to Post #17 by PunkRock, I don't know why you'd get a Castrol machine with white with red/blue accents rather than the traditional white with red/green accents. Or also when you won a certain race or race series in GT1, you get this Castrol Supra that's black with red/green accents. It's tradition to me, but yeah.
The Mazda 787B is two things- fast and loud. The acceleration is sensational, but kind of want to listen to something else because it seemed to be too raspy for an engine sound. This black machine is the test car as our former GTP member Darin said. It should still be quite fun to race.
NOTE: Thanks to a screwy computer, I tried to get this in as soon as I could, but this is really days old as I haven't really seen any other replies since my last visit.
By the way, haven't seen you in a while, Samberto, sir. Oh, and while I'm a fan of the Toyota GT-One, if it hadn't been for Johnny Herbert and the Mazda 787B, Japan would have, uh... NO Japanese manufactuers winning the Le Mans enduro. And if the beautiful RX-792P didn't keep having turbo fire problems, Mazda would have gone two straight granted that there were great drivers behind the wheel.

Oh? Does that eman you can change decals and racing number in for any car you have unlocked it on in Simulation Mode?Samberto
Sorry but you are wrong, there is one Japanese manufacturers who win Le Mans and it's Mazda with the 787B car with this particular and great rotative motor, the first one to be used in competition in Le Mans, you can recognize the car in the straigth line without see it, by her engine.

I was there when the Mazda won, cuz i am born in this city and not miss one race every year, until i moved overseas.
So for sure, the Mazda 787B won, unfortunately my favorite car Nissan R392 not win and finish second.

John Player Special? I'm not a player, I'm a mack! Okay, back on topic...
The 787B is pretty quick for a car with only 5 gears (I think I reached six once, but it's been so long since I've been indulged into GT3). I think if you want top speed from this thing, you're going to have to mess around with the final gear. Test Car or not, a race car is a race car. I think GT has come to a sense that anything commercially-available or conceptual with four wheels and an engine can be raced competitvely. Say what you will about this, but it's rather interesting to see this Test Car in the game.
