Mazda Prototype Team Gets Aggressive for Long Beach

Are you ready for Long Beach and the week of activities?Coming off of a best-ever finish and qualifying effort, the two-car Mazda Prototype team is focused on the BUBBA burger Sports Car Grand Prix that takes the green flag at 4:05 Pacific Time Saturday afternoon as a part of the 42nd Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. While the first two races of the year were endurance contests of 12 and 24 hours, the Long Beach round is scheduled for 100 minutes - the shortest race of the year for the Prototype class in the IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship. Long Beach is considered a home race for Mazda, as it is the closest event to the company's North American headquarters in Irvine, Calif. Hundreds of Mazda employees will be in attendance for the race that can be seen on FOX Sports 2 (7:00 pm Eastern Time telecast) and the FOX Sports GO app.
