sorry but, rotaries are unreliable.
Also, 787B did win the endurance race, an event where many cars don't make it to the finish line.
So you think just because it ran 24hrs straight under race conditions that gives it some sort of reliability?

Rotaries are NOT unreliable. That's a false claim. The reputation was due to the FD's apex seals and is turbo-related; the rotary by itself is not problematic at all.
