Interesting. If it was so fast, why did they qualify no better than 12th and grid up 19th?

The 787b won LeMans due to attrition. Now, there is plenty to be said for building a reliable race car, but don't assume the winner of an endurance race is the fastest car there.

And also, it was not banned for being too fast. The FIA banned all Wankel rotary style engines in order to further regulate the series and simplify the regulations to only the 3.5L engine.

Indeed, the car was pretty decent, it's huge strong point besides reliability was it's fuel economy. The turbo cars would outright slaughter the 787b if they ran a sprint race, but the extra time spent in the pits evened things up a bit for a longer race.
