The Mazda 717C is a prototype racing car built for Mazdaspeed for the 24 Hours of Le Mans under the Group C Junior formula. It was the first race car built by Mazda since the end of its running in GT with the RX-7 in 1982, and it used a two-rotor 13B Wankel engine similar to the production engine of the RX-7. Mooncraft Racing built the bodywork and chassis with assistance from Mazda. Two 717Cs were entered in the 1983 24 Hours of Le Mans, were the only finishers in the C Junior class and finished 12th and 18th overall. The 727C replaced the car the following year.
