I don't know, I was always iffy about the Mazda color schemes. In the crazy way these things work out, it was Mazda who managed to oust the all pink Jaguar/Ford a final Le Mans win in 1991, as the Mazda finished ahead of three Jags. Then they end up running that car the next year...
Ford must have been busing in Group C, they bought Mazda, Jag, and Aston Martin, all of whom had interest. Sadly, the Astons were canned virtually as soon as the ink on the contract dried.
In Andretti's new book, there is a good picture of the Porsche WSC95 TWR/Jag/Mazda in the final pages, and Mario said that he felt the car was too underdeveloped to be competitive. Then it won Le Mans two years in a row.
