Mazda Team Support Program Membership: Terms & Conditions

 

The Mazda Team Support Program (MTSP) provides Mazda racers, track day participants, automotive enthusiasts, vehicle collectors, and motorsports shops throughout the United States with special access to Mazda vehicle parts, technical support, and eligibility for Mazda’s Contingency Awards Program.

The MTSP was launched in 1990 to help defray the cost of racing Mazda vehicles and improve the overall experience of competitively driving the Mazda vehicles we all love. Tens of thousands have enrolled in the program, resulting in more Mazdas being driven on race tracks in the U.S. on any given weekend than any other brand.

To join the MTSP, please read the following Terms & Conditions and confirm your agreement. Your agreement with these Terms & Conditions is required for the purchase of stock (Mazda O.E.) parts, competition (non-Mazda O.E.) parts, technical support, and contingency awards.
