Team Langårds
Gr B Mazda Rx7
This is one of the few Gr B rally cars that Mazda built to try and compete with the Lancias and Peugeot Gr B cars. Ingvar Carlsson used to drive this one when it was new. The car is only rear wheel drive, that was a big disadvantage compared the the other Gr B cars that had full time 4wd. The original engine was a 13B PP with weber carburetor giving around 300 bhp.

They finished runner up in the Nordic championship in hill climbing this season.
They have been running some sprint rallies and other races all with good results and the car has not let them down at all! The car is still at the peek running close with all the new factory cars.. just like the old days!
Currently they are building a second car from a spare body with the nr 0001 on the rollover cage!

Ingvar finished in eight overall and was the quickest two wheel drive car in the Swedish rally 1985. Ingvar also took a third place overall in the Acropolis rally 1985. This was Mazdas highest finish in Rally at this time. After the Rx7 came the 323 and made Mazda famous in the rally forests.
