Mazda announce some big administrative changes, as well as a new endurance driver line-up!

Some teams will come with their intended liveries, but there might be others where that won't be the case still I feel. Watch out for some trickery like what Porsche did at the Le Mans test. They showed up with 4 cars in full traditional factory livery (which I like a lot), and then we know what happened the next day. Pink Pig and Rothmans gets revealed.

Given this is IMSA's 50th anniversary, which Porsche has been a huge part of, I sort of expect something special from Porsche. But my ability to be wrong is profound :-) |

Thinking about going to the Roar for the first time. Will be bringing my 3 year old. Can only make it Sunday - is there anything I should Be considering? How close can you get to the pits/paddock? Never been to DIS. I’ve been to Sebring and Road Atlanta years ago during the Audi years, for a starting point.
Any suggestions would be appreciated! |

Mazda has a killer driver line-up ... but they have Always had really quick drivers. The crew and the car have always been the week spots. And the car ... is the same car except they are planning to push it even harder.
Look at home many endurance races there were leading are almost leading int he final hour ... where the car didn't finish. Fan, but a realistic fan. |

Hmm, I guess Brumos would always be an option and I would really like a Löwenbräu-car, but I don't know if they could get away with that in terms of trademarks and all of that.

Interesting ponder- at this point what would satisfy Mazda as a success? Winning a championship, or winning an enduro, or winning any race? |

I would second the mention of ear protection. From the Daytona Speedway website it says fans have access to the infield and garage, and they have schedule posted with lots of activities listed. Looks like a very good resource.

As with Porsche (Rothmans) at Le Mans, I assume they could probably just avoid putting the actual brand name on the car while using the rest of it?
