As the only Asian car company to ever win the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans, Mazda has a unique and nearly unmatched heritage in racing. From the company’s first foray into international motorsport at the 1968 84-hour Marathon de la Route, all the way to today’s SKYACTIV-D clean diesel-powered Mazda6 competing in the Grand Am Rolex GX class, the company has always used racing to improve the brand. At the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Mazda celebrated its racing successes the way it always has: by competing.
Mazda maintains a fleet of heritage racecars at its Irvine, Calif. headquarters, and has chosen to bring three to Monterey this year – a 1990 787 Group C prototype, 1991 RX-7 IMSA GTO and 1992 RX-792P IMSA GTP.
Mazda’s diesel beast has done it again! We at Borgman are blown away by the SkyActiv-D Mazda6’s continued winning streak.
