    MORE THAN 50 RISING OPEN-WHEEL STARS FROM AROUND THE WORLD HEAD TO THE INDY F1 CIRCUIT FOR THE 2013 MAZDA ROAD TO INDY PRE-SEASON TEST Indianapolis Motor Speedway / October 9, 2012 – A Who's Who of rising open-wheel stars from around the world – more than 50 in all – are headed to the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the second annual Chris Griffis Memorial Mazda Road to Indy Open Test, Oct. 10-11.

  • Trying to Develop American Talent Page 1 of 4
    Trying to develop American talent Page 1 of 4 Trying to develop American talent Jeannie Broussal | Posted: Wednesday, August 24, 2011 10:52 pm With the influx of international drivers into the IndyCar Series during the 1980s, American drivers are now the minority in a series they once dominated. There are several reasons for this turnaround. When international drivers — who had no place to move up in their homelands — saw an opportunity to compete in a world class series in the United States, they began migrating to IndyCar. With the emergence of NASCAR, more young American drivers decided to turn to stock cars. Another reason is many young American drivers became confused about which step to take after competing in go-karts to get to IndyCar. Some made mistakes that put them way behind in their careers, and some gave up altogether. Tony George, Jr., the manager of business development for Firestone Indy Lights and the Mazda Road to Indy Program, talked about why he thinks there are not more American drivers in IndyCar. “It’s all about relevant training and experience for those who want to make it in open-wheel racing. A lot of grassroots motorsports didn’t change with the times with regards to new technology. When grassroots drivers are getting out-of-date training, it won’t take them to IndyCar,” George said. With the recent formation of the “Road to Indy” program, there is a much clearer path for would-be IndyCar race drivers. The program is fully funded by Mazda USA. Here are the basics of the program: Level 1: USF2000 Series champion gets a full scholarship into the StarMazda Series Level 2: StarMazda Series champion gets a full scholarship into Indy Lights Level Three: Indy Lights champion gets a partial scholarship into IndyCar Randy Bernard, the CEO of IndyCar, IZOD IndyCar series and Firestone Indy Lights Series, agreed.

    TITLE FIGHT DECIDED AT SONOMA: The Verizon IndyCar Series championship has only two eligible drivers, but the championship lead has belonged to one driver since early in the season. Simon Pagenaud took control of the championship standings following a torrid start to 2016 with five finishes of first or second in the first five races and carries a 43-point advantage over Will Power into the GoPro Grand Prix of Sonoma. Pagenaud can win the title with a finish of fourth or better. Joe Skibinski/IMS Photo WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEKEND: BAY AREA IS TITLE TOWN: The Verizon IndyCar Series championship will be decided in the final race for the 11th year in a row, with Sonoma Raceway hosting the finale for the second straight season. The Verizon IndyCar Series championship will be the fourth major sports title clinched in Northern California this year alongside the NFL Championship (Denver Broncos defeated Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara), NBA championship (Cleveland Cavaliers defeated Golden State Warriors in Oakland) and NHL Stanley Cup Championship (Pittsburgh Penguins defeated San Jose Sharks in San Jose). TOASTING TEAM PENSKE’S SUCCESS: Team Penske looks to add to its dominance at Sonoma Raceway. The team, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2016, has won five of the last eight races at the track and won the pole position six times. One of Penske’s title-contending duo of Will Power and Simon Pagenaud will celebrate a championship. Can they or teammates Juan Pablo Montoya and Helio Castroneves also provide team owner Roger Penske more hardware this weekend? LAST CHANCE TO CLAIM A WIN IN 2016: Indy car race winners Helio Castroneves, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Tony Kanaan, Charlie Kimball, Carlos Munoz and James Hinchcliffe have finished on the podium in 2016, but they are still looking for a trip to Victory Lane.

    Patrick Long’s & Sebastien Bourdais’ Comments About the 8th Annual Kart 4 Kids Pro-Am Kart Race It’s only fitting that this year’s 8th annual Kart 4 Kids charity karting event takes place just a few steps from the entrance of Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in St Pete. It’s also just a stone’s throw from Dan Wheldon Way. Each year the event grows, the funds raised increase, and the awareness around a special hospital and a group of kids accelerate. Thank you to our hosts, all of the sponsors, partners, donors, pro drivers, and especially the large committee of great volunteers who make the production of this event happen. This event started off as a humble gathering, with the goal of raising a few dollars in the name of Dan Wheldon for the Hospital. Dan was a St. Pete resident, and someone who had a lot of time for All Children’s. We continue to race in his memory and smile as status and organization of this gathering continues to reach new boundaries! A few milestones were reached in 2018 for Kart for Kids. We managed to donate 130k$ to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, bring the event downtown and reinforce the involvement of the community and sponsors thanks to our amazing group of volunteers. The response from the racing community was no less impressive, with many drivers from different series donating their apparel and time. 2019 will be no less impressive and I want to thank each and every individual for their continued support.

  • 2020 Mazda Contingency Awards Program Payouts and Requirements
    2020 Mazda Contingency Awards Program Payouts and Requirements New program support highlights 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. In 2017, Mazda began paying deeper in the fields – often the top five finishing positions. In 2018, Mazda paid a little deeper overall. 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.

The FCC podiums were: ROUND 7 - Pro Formula Mazda Phil Fogg Jr. - 1st Lloyd Read - 2nd Sean Prewett - 3rd ROUND 7 - Formula Mazda Mike Anderson - 1st Mel Kemper - 2nd Matt Trudell - 3rd ROUND 8 - Pro Formula Mazda Phil Fogg Jr. - 1st Sean Prewett - 2nd Stan Kohls - 3rd ROUND 8 - Formula Mazda Mike Anderson - 1st Matt Trudell - 2nd Peter Workum - 3rd Every race weekend a random drawing takes place for free Goodyear Racing tires for the competitors.
