We're not sure what we did to deserve rotary-powered Mazda race cars, but we're really glad they exist. Their insane performance, awesome looks, and unique sounds made make them a joy to watch hit the circuit. The RX-792P is one of those race cars, and it's been brought out to Monterey to hit the track once again.

While the RX-792P isn't nearly as famous as the Le Mans-winning 787B, it's certainly not without its merits. Complete with an insane four-rotor 600-horsepower engine and carbon fiber tub, it was built to compete in the IMSA GT Championship. Sadly, it only raced for one year in 1992 before Mazda abandoned the project.

Despite its short-lived career, at least one of the two chassis is alive and well, showing off at this year's Monterey Motorsports Reunion to drive around the historic Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

Watch as Driver Weldon Munsey takes us around the track in a driver's view on-board, courtesy of our good friends atRACER. Don't forget to turn the volume up for this one, because there's nothing quite like a screaming four-rotor race engine.
