The Mazda Motorsports Team Support Program is built as a resource to support Mazda racers, including track day, autocross, road racing, drag racing, rally, and more. We continue to provide more contingency awards to racers in North America than any other manufacturer; we offer tech support by calling 800-435-2508; we offer stock parts at discount to our Mazda racers; we offer our competition parts to racers AND non-racers. And we are always continuing to build on our offerings. Is it any wonder that more Mazdas are raced on any given weekend across the country than any other brand?
