2024 IMSA Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup at VIR | Race 2 | Alton, Virginia

The Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin is the signature spec series for Mazda Motorsports. MX-5 Cup offers more than $1 million in prize money and scholarships a year.

The MX-5 Cup race cars start as complete MX-5 road cars from the Mazda Hiroshima, Japan factory before being transported to engineering development partner Flis Performance in Daytona Beach, Florida, where they are transformed into a race car. The process includes disassembly of the production car, welding and paint of a full roll cage and interior, and adding more than 250 motorsports-specific parts. Other components of the car, including the Mazda SKYACTIV 2.0 liter engine are sealed to ensure even competition and a cost-effective platform.

Hindy and Shae make this just about the best racing broadcast today. Thank you IMSA for broadcasting it live on your YouTube! Fantastic job everyone. Coverage was spot on and those camera angles were fantastic, even without onboards. Bravo!

"What I think we now have to call a Fletcher". Selin Rollan won an MX-5 cup race at COTA after starting last about 5 or 6 years ago (back before the MX-5 cup joined IMSA).

[austinwolfe]

Jeremy fletcher! Back to back wins what an animal

[JeLifeCoach]

Best racing series. Never disappoints.

[The.only.one.that.matters.]

As a SCCA never say nothing happens in the guys are awesome. See you at the next races.

52:35 "Actually, in MX-5 terms, that wasn't close for the victory: 0.061 of a second between first and second"
I don't think there's much better in terms of summing up the greatness of this series. Quote that to the next person telling you all about how thrilling the latest F1 race was.

[solarcell]

We need more brands to make spyder like miata..

[ismaelgil]

Can you guys just upload these instead of streaming them, it makes the quality look terrible

[guest]

The cars have been very difficult to get going after incidents, even minor ones. I guess it's due to the transmission. They should have been able to fix this by now.

Great race hate to have to use the mute so much with adams random useless comments
