The Lost Leaflet

This is a breakdown of the render I made for Hum3D challenge 2020 https://hum3d.com/challenges/the-lost-leaflet/ . I wanted to make the actual livery for the vehicle but I was running out of time so had to improvise but I really like the look that turned out.
The 787B, a legend among the Group C cars of the LeMans. Mazda became the first Japanese manufacturers to win at LeMans and the 787b became the first and only rotary engine car to win at LeMans. It won due to its sheer durability not to mention it was fast.
The four rotor engine produces an orgasmic sound.

Here's the story:
These flyers were handed out to people near the track as an invitation to entice them to come and watch the race. While most of them were either destroyed or lost, only a few survived, this being one of them. Found safely kept, yet lost in between the books in a storage room of an abandoned house, it was damaged on the edges but was still in a fairly good condition.
After intensive digging, it was found that these were the draft leaflets that got discarded after the color scheme of the vehicle was changed. Apparently the initial idea was to keep the vehicle black which was changed to the iconic orange and green we know today.
These leaflets with a black Mazda 787B are extremely rare and till today only one of them has been found.
P.S. Its all fiction :)
