Sept. 1, 2022<\/strong> – When the Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich\u00ae Tires 2023 schedule was revealed on August 5, there was one event missing from the calendar. That date is now confirmed to be WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California.<\/p>\n

Rounds Five and Six of the Mazda MX-5 Cup series will take place May 12 \u2013 14 at the celebrated 2.238-mile road course. The track was not part of the 2022 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cRacing under the IMSA umbrella provides our drivers and teams with the opportunity to race on some of the absolute best tracks on the continent, and we are really pleased with the 2023 schedule,\u201d Mazda Motorsports Program Manager Jonathan Applegate said. \u201cWe get an early start to the season once again with our launch in Daytona, and we\u2019ve worked to have a good cadence of events through the year. Mazda has such a great history with the track, so it is great to get this final piece of our schedule puzzle in place for next season as our Mazda MX-5 Cup paddock loves the chance to race at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.”<\/p>\n

Mazda MX-5 Cup and Laguna Seca have a special history: the first ever MX-5 Cup race took place there in 2006. Ten years later, the ND model version of the race car made its debut there.<\/p>\n

More recently, MX-5 Cup has raced at Laguna Seca in the fall, but this year IMSA moved the event to the spring.<\/p>\n

The 2022 MX-5 Cup season comes to a close September 28 \u2013 30 at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. Round 11 is tentatively scheduled to take place at 1:50pm ET on Thursday, September 29 and Round 12 at 9:50am ET on Friday, September 30. Both races will be streamed live on RACER.com.<\/p>\n
