After over a month since the last race, Copeland Motorsports is gearing up for the next two rounds of the Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup Presented by BFGoodrich® Tires. Heading to the Streets of St. Petersburg, April 23rd-24th, the Maryland based team will be returning with a four-car lineup for rounds five and six of the championship.

The Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich® Tires is making waves in the motorsports world with its incredibly close racing, and this week the spectacle arrives at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. The concrete walls and compact schedule will test each team’s performance under pressure.

We saw some absolutely amazing racing and incredibly close finishes during the previous Idemitsu MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich® Tires double-header at Sebring International Raceway. In race one, the lead changes on the final lap were a great example of impressively clean yet tight racing, which is what we’ve become accustomed to in this series. The dramatic three-wide finish was the second-closest in series history, and the entire series has some of the closest racing to be found anywhere.

Artists, racers, and car enthusiasts have the opportunity to support Lemons of Love while designing this one-of-a-kind race car.

Following IMSA’s announcement of the cancellation of its event at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, the Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich Tires can confirm it will remove the event from its 2021 schedule as well. The 2021 Mazda MX-5 Cup season remains a 14-round championship.
