    2019 Mazda Contingency Awards Program Payouts and Requirements

    2019 Mazda Contingency Awards Program Payouts and Requirements Endurance racing and the NC (third gen) Miata highlight the contingency awards enhancements. In club racing and autocross, many auto manufacturers pay contingency awards, though not all. Of those who do, the philosophy has largely been to pay just the winner or, perhaps, the podium. Manufacturers want wins and podiums to be able to showcase. Mazda is different. It wants to showcase the talented Mazda racers, but it also rewards many racers who finish deeper in the fields. “At Mazda, we don’t do things just because they’ve always been done that way,” commented David Cook, Mazda Motorsports’ business development manager. “A core value of ours has been continuous kaizen (continuous improvement). In 2017, we began paying deeper in the fields – often the top five finishing positions. In 2018, we paid a little deeper overall. And starting in 2019, as we refocus our efforts in road racing and autocross, we will offer contingency awards to Mazda racers in three sanctioning bodies for the first time – all endurance racing focused.” Mazda racers competing in American Endurance Racing (AER), ChampCar, and World Racing League (WRL) are now eligible for contingency awards. For those choosing an MX-5 Miata, Mazda Motorsports has secured a parts rewards program as the primary compensation for these racers. These “parts rewards points” can be used to acquire many Miata racing competition parts from Mazda Motorsports. While points cannot be combined with cash to purchase a given part, the points value range in the hundreds to thousands of dollars in value.

In 2019, it further expanded its awards to racers in endurance racing - American Endurance Racing (AER), ChampCar, and World Racing League (WRL). In all, Mazda has nearly doubled the number of racers it pays contingency awards to compared to three-plus years ago. In addition to the expansion of payouts, Mazda introduced the “Mazda Collection” line, which features premium apparel and accessories. The Mazda Motorsports contingency program, starting in 2019, offered many racers the opportunity to earn rewards points, often as bonuses, to help them acquire merchandise from the Mazda Collection, as well as to acquire competition parts. And beginning in 2020, Mazda will focus some of the contingency awards on new programs, and bolstering select existing program – Spec MX-5, SCCA Time Trials, Teen Mazda Challenge, and others. Spec MX-5: Club Racing Done Right On August 21, 2019, Mazda Motorsports announced Spec MX-5. Designed as an affordable, reliable, tech-able and fun-to-drive option for club racers, Spec MX-5 will establish a nationwide ruleset and spec parts list for the 2006-2015 chassis Mazda Miata MX-5.

In 1979, due to ill health, Les sold the company to John Dymond, Lubrizol's Australian National Sales Manager, a mechanical engineer by trade and a car enthusiast at heart, who rapidly expanded the Penrite range of products. John's technical background and commitment to quality ensured that Penrite continued to produce the highest quality product for every application and this philosophy, implemented by John in 1979, remains a core value of the company to this day. Establishing Team Penrite in the early 80’s, John was able to complete all the R & D requirements for his products on the race track, not only with cars, but also bikes, karts and trucks! Driven by his “every product, every application, every customer” philosophy John expanded and developed the capabilities and capacity of the business to produce specific products for any market, effectively ensuring Penrite has every industry segment covered.
