What Is MAZDA Spirit Racing? Inside MAZDA’s Performance Sub-Brand

Driving isn’t just a way to get from point A to point B for many drivers. For those that relish moments behind the wheel, there’s Mazda Spirit Racing, which aims to bring motorsports-level experiences to everyday drivers. The Autobarn Mazda of Evanston is sharing all the exciting details.

MAZDA Motorsports History

Mazda Motorsports has a rich history in the performance world. Mazda was the first automobile brand to successfully mass produce the rotary engine. In 1991, Mazda also became the first Japanese automobile brand to win the Le Mans 24 Hours race. Today, Mazda continues to incorporate this racing spirit into every vehicle.

Celebrate Driving

Mazda Spirit Racing aims to help drivers “Celebrate Driving” by helping them get more in touch with their drives and truly enjoy the spirit of driving. Through Mazda Spirit Racing, the brand provides driving lessons to teach high-level driving skills and hosts grass roots races for drivers to test their mettle.

MAZDA Races

For even more serious drivers, Mazda has established a set of full-fledged races with multilayered stages. These are hosted as a way for driving enthusiasts to push their skills to the limit and connect with others. This includes the Global MX-5 Cup, where Mazda MX-5 drivers compete in regional championships before advancing to compete for the world championship.

Even when you aren’t on the racetrack, you can feel the spirit of Mazda racing in our sporty models. Many of our models, such as the Mazda MX-5 Miata and Mazda3, feature the same sculpted body style you’ll find in the brand’s competitive motorsports models.
