Speeding down the Road to 24

Mazda’s scholarships for sports car racers continues to grow and provide opportunities to grassroots racers

Preparations and planning are underway for the 2017 edition of the Mazda Road to 24 Shootout, with this year’s event continuing to showcase club racing champions and give them a shot at a funded ride in the Battery Tender Global MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich Tires for the 2018 season.

“We will bring together the best club racers from around the country for the shootout,” says Kyle Kimball, Mazda Motorsports operations manager. “The winner will receive the scholarship value at $100,000 to enter into MX-5 Cup for the 2018 season, and we will continue to support the MX-5 Cup champion with the $200,000 scholarship.”
