Sports Car Club of America announces multi‐year partnership with Mazda

Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) and Mazda North American Operations have announced a multi‐year partnership that names Mazda the Official Car of SCCA through 2015.

Mazda Director of Motorsports John Doonan and SCCA Vice-President, Marketing
and Communications Eric Prill made the announcement on during the Mazda Motorsports pre‐season media day at the company's headquarters in Irvine.

Mazda will be utilised as the official pace car at key SCCA events, including the SCCA National Championship Runoffs, through the 2015 season. The annual SCCA Hall of Fame Hall of Fame Banquet will now be 'presented by Mazda'.

"In the minds of many, Mazda and the SCCA were already partners," said Doonan. "At the SCCA Runoffs, the Mazda contingent has been the largest of any car company. We love that our small organisation is more popular on the race track than the combined efforts of many of our much larger competitors. We look forward to working with the SCCA to grow the sport for the next generation."

"Mazda has been a long‐time supporter of the SCCA and our competitors, so formalizing our relationship
was a natural next step," said Dahnert. "On any given weekend, there are more Mazdas being raced
than any other marque. We're looking forward to expanding our relationship with Mazda and the new
opportunities that come with it."
