another quick side note is that the only reason it won is because the lead car broke down in the last 5 laps (a benz). le mans is a endurance race not who can go the fastest.
if you would like to read 7 pages of flaming back and forth read this.

So the 787 must have been pretty close to that benz. The winner is whoever has covered the greatest distance at the end of the time allowed. If the benz broke and the 787 was 10 laps back with only 20 minutes left, the benz still would have won, but if the 787 passed the distance of where the benz was when it broke before time ran out, then the 787 takes the lead and wins. And to answer the original question, it is highly unlikely that a rotary will ever compete again at lemans.
