2017 Mazda RT24 at the Rolex 24 | Mazda

But there’s a lot of silver lining for Mazda, which despite its past racing successes still has the scrappy underdog reputation. Both RT24s will race again, and soon. The 12 Hours of Sebring is on March 18th, and we have no doubts the team will be ready. “Once we get to the new Continental road course tires and the higher downforce package, these Mazdas are gonna be something. The car’s great, it’s definitely a driver’s car,” says Jonathan Bomarito. Tom Long agrees: “By the end, our Mazda had a ton of grip as we were running the best laps we had run all weekend.” And with 13 victories under its belt and the new car’s kinks worked out, the Mazda will again be one to watch.
But that doesn’t mean people aren’t already looking forward to the next Daytona. Because despite the importance of the rest of the season, the symbolism of winning right out of the gate is too hard to resist. It may not have The Corkscrew like Laguna, or the aching beauty of Lime Rock or the Glen, but Daytona is hallowed ground. For some, it’s where it all began. For others, it’s where legends are made.
For Mazda, we think Daytona was the beginning of a very good thing.
