Mazda Prototype team aims to keep podium streak going in Detroit

At last year's Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear at the Belle Isle Street Course, the Mazda Prototype team scored third- and fourth-place finishes in the Prototype class. This weekend, the goal is to improve upon those results in the Chevrolet Sports Car Classic, a one-hour, 40-minute sprint race that takes the green flag this Saturday at 12:40 pm ET for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

The 2.3-mile, 14-turn street circuit presents a number of challenges for the drivers.

"Street circuits are naturally treacherous with the walls being right there," said Jonathan Bomarito, driver of the No. 55 Mazda Prototype. "This race is so short, your mindset is wide-open all the time. Sometimes that means you'll get into some wall issues. For [teammate] Tristan [Nunez] and I, our podiums have come from street courses so hopefully Detroit is good to us."
