Mazda Sales (Thailand) Co. Ltd. is preparing to proudly enter Thai motorsports under its sports marketing drive campaign. The company will introduce Mazda2 road racing cars built by world-class Mazda motorsports mechanics under the “Mazda Innovation Motorsports” team logo. They will compete in the Thailand Super Series, one of the largest and most followed motorsports events in the country.

Sportiness is something that never fades away from the Mazda DNA and this is reflected in our slogans “Zoom-Zoom” and “We put a little sports car in everything we do”. After a brief absence from the local motorsports scene, Mazda is back with a bigger mission by pitting both the Mazda2 Sport 5-door hatchback and the Mazda2 Elegance sedan in this year's Thailand Super Series. This is a continuation of Mazda's sports marketing strategy into various disciplines.

The Mazda Innovation Motorsports team is a new squad but is made up of highly experienced members who jointly developed the two outstanding racecars. The Mazda2 Sport 5-door hatchback (No.17) is driven by a familiar racer and celebrity Pete Thongchua, who has been racing both cross country and circuits for the Mazda team in the past. Meanwhile, the Mazda2 Elegance Sedan is driven by Mike Freeman, a highly experienced driver who won the Thailand Championship title last year with the BT-50 pickup truck. The Mazda2 cars will compete in the Super Production class at the Thailand Super Series.

Mazda motorsport fans should not miss the opportunity to cheer for the two Mazda drivers in the Thailand Super Series 2013, which is made up of eight races. The first two races have already been staged, and the Mazda cars will first compete in the third and fourth races to be held at the Bira International Circuit on August 17-18. The fifth and sixth races will also be held at Bira on October 5-6, while the seventh and eighth races will be held at the spectacular Bangsaen Speed Festival on December 14-15.
