The 2015 Mazda MX-5 Cup race car was unveiled in November 2014, ushering in a new generation of beefed-up MX-5 racers that we’ll be seeing a whole lot of in the coming years. Most units of the MX-5 Cup, including the batch that will compete in the 2016 Battery Tender Mazda MX-5 Cup, have been stocked with full racing gear. But at least one of them will serve a different purpose, specifically the MX-5 Cup Pace Car that will oversee racing competitions held at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
Mazda Motorsports launched the MX-5 Cup Pace Car at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion in the weekend of August 15-16, 2015. With its unveiling, the MX-5 Cup Pace Car will follow in a long history of Mazda models that have patrolled the track at Laguna Seca. The Mazda6 has served in this capacity in the past, as has the RX-8, CX-5, and not surprisingly, the previous-generation MX-5.
The new MX-5 Cup now gets that honor, and to mark the occasion, Mazda fitted the plucky little racer with all the necessary digs of a bonafide pace car, including the standard roll cage, racing bucket seats and emergency lights.
Those interested to see the new MX-5 Cup Pace Car in action will get the opportunity when the 2015 Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca racing season kicks off on September 11-13, 2015 with the Mazda Road to Indy, and Pirelli World Challenge finals.
