The Sports Car Driving Association (SCDA) has always been proud to provide its customers a safe and controlled environment to learn and experience high performance driving. Founded in 1995, SCDA has seen drivers of all skill levels turn laps at its events through the years. Now, it welcomes the Global Mazda MX-5 Cup car to its fleet of rentals.

 

First time performance drivers, national champions, professional race and championship winners have all attended SCDA events. Many success stories have started with SCDA as the venue for first ever laps on a race track.

 

In partnership with Mazda Motorsports, the SCDA is now offering a Global MX-5 Cup car for rent at its events through ROSMAR Racing for 2019. The Global MX-5 Cup car is a spec car that was developed by Mazda to be raced in the Battery Tender® Global Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich Tires, TC America TCA, SCCA and NASA club racing, American Endurance Racing, and others.

 

ROSMAR Racing is led by Mark Gregory, a familiar face in the SCDA paddock. Gregory is both a championship winning driver and crew chief with a long history of building and racing Mazda RX-7s and Miatas. A presence at SCDA events since its inception, current customers will likely know his fleet of always busy, well-prepared Spec Miata rental cars that are event mainstays.

 

SCDA President Elivan Goulart has a long championship winning history with Mazda Motorsports. Goulart won the 2004 Formula SCCA Pro Series, 2011 Spec Miata Runoffs and 2016 World Challenge TCA Championships in Mazdas. In 2017, Goulart won races in World Challenge (now known at TC America) TCA driving a Global MX-5 Cup car.

 

Goulart is excited to offer customers the opportunity to be in a factory-built car. “It’s a great platform for all drivers; it’s a new car that has been turned into a race car. A car such as the Global MX-5 Cup car gives drivers of all skill levels the opportunity to just focus on improving. Mazda has done all the work to make the car safe, reliable, fast and fun to drive. It’s the perfect car to be in at SCDA events.”

 

Gregory shared his enthusiasm for adding the new car to the fleet and its benefits to ROSMAR Racing and SCDA customers. “Building a reliable and safe car for the track today is equal parts restoration and preparation. The Global MX-5 Cup car is a new car with the latest technology and racing safety equipment.

 

“The simplification of experience is of great appeal,” Gregory continued. “Time is so valuable today. Purchasing or renting a purpose-built race car is a much more simple and efficient solution. The true joy is in the driving and that’s what the race car delivers.”

 

Drivers who may want to take the wheel of the Global MX-5 Cup car during an SCDA event should contact Elivan Goulart through www.SCDA1.com or Mark Gregory through www.roasmarracing.com.

 

The 2019 SCDA schedule resumes Saturday, March 30 at Lime Rock Park. ROSMAR Racing will have the Global MX-5 Cup car prepped and ready for action at all 2019 SCDA events.
