Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) is pleased to announce the 2021 Schedule for its 'Mazda' MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich® Tires. The 2021 season marks the first year of a new alignment with the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) as the sanctioning partner. With seven event weekends, each featuring two MX-5 Cup races for a total of 14 rounds, next year's calendar will be the longest in series history.

'The 2021 schedule for MX-5 Cup has been developed with our new partners at IMSA,' Director of Mazda Motorsports Nelson Cosgrove said. 'The IMSA weekends offer a lot of flexibility in terms of where we can race, and they are some really amazing tracks to race on at that! We are starting off the year at what will be a really interesting Rolex 24, and being part of that event is going to be really cool. It doesn't leave much for an offseason, but everyone is super excited about it.'
