The Mazda RX-792P is a sports prototype racing car built for Mazda to compete in the GTP category of the IMSA GT Championship. Its career was short, with only two cars running in 1992 before the project was abandoned, and Crawford Composites built three in all. The name combines the RX-7 road car, the year the car raced and the fact that it was a prototype. After Mazda's 1991 Le Mans win a change in FIA engine rules forced it to abandon the four-rotor R26B in the World Sportscar Championship, but IMSA rules still allowed rotaries, so Mazda brought the engine to North America. Managed by Mazda Motorsports with drivers Price Cobb and Pete Halsmer, the first car skipped Daytona and was withdrawn from the Miami Grand Prix after a fire.
