Mazda\u2019s signature spec series will continue to hold a 14-race championship over seven events starting in January at Daytona International Raceway and ending in October at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/a33ba08d163385b4a77fabf6c\/images\/803e3a3f-584c-6d31-ebf8-7b4876fc1d6c.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" align=\"left\" data-file-id=\"44471\" \/>The 2023 Mazda MX-5 Cup season keeps a good thing going, with limited changes from the current schedule. The season begins in Florida, first at Daytona International Raceway in January and then to the streets of St. Petersburg in March. Storied road courses Watkins Glen International, Road America, VIRginia International Raceway and Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta are all back on their traditional IMSA dates. This does leave one TBA, which will be revealed in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve listened to our competitors and our fans and believe we\u2019ve assembled a desirable mix of venues,\u201d said Mazda Motorsports Program Manager Jonathan Applegate. &#8220;The consistency will only help our teams and staff put on the best racing possible. Our partnership with IMSA continues to be mutually beneficial and is the perfect stage for MX-5 Cup racing. While it\u2019s not ideal to put out a schedule with a TBA on it, we want our teams to have plenty of time to prepare for 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Operated by Andersen Promotions since 2017, MX-5 Cup will maintain the traditional doubleheader format with two 45-minute races at each event.<\/p>\n<p>The Mazda MX-5 Cup has two more rounds left in its current season; VIR, August 26 \u2013 28 and Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, September 28 \u2013 30.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2023 Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich Tires\u00ae<\/strong><\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Date<\/td>\n<td>Location<\/td>\n<td>With<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>January 25 \u2013 27<\/td>\n<td>Daytona International Raceway<br \/>\nDaytona Beach, Florida<\/td>\n<td>IMSA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>March 3-5<\/td>\n<td>St. Petersburg street course<br \/>\nSt. Petersburg, Florida<\/td>\n<td>IndyCar<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>June 23 \u2013 25<\/td>\n<td>Watkins Glen International<br \/>\nWatkins Glen, New York<\/td>\n<td>IMSA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>August 4 &#8211; 6<\/td>\n<td>Road America<br \/>\nElkhart Lake, Wisconsin<\/td>\n<td>IMSA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>August 25 \u2013 27<\/td>\n<td>VIRginia International Raceway<br \/>\nAlton, Virginia<\/td>\n<td>IMSA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>October 11 &#8211; 13<\/td>\n<td>Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta<br \/>\nBraselton, Georgia<\/td>\n<td>IMSA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>TBA<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>* all events are doubleheaders<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ELKHART LAKE, Wis.
