For myself and the Provision Motorsports team, 2021 has continued to be a season filled with successes and difficulties in the Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup race series. Our misfortune at the St. Pete and Mid-Ohio races left us with a huge uphill battle to have any chance at the Rookie of the Year prize in this fiercely competitive race series, so we knew we had to be spot on for the rest of the year to get back in the running.

Rookie driver Luca Mars scored one of his best career Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup Presented by BFGoodrich® Tires results this past weekend at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Taking on the 11-turn facility made famous for the legendary Corkscrew, Mars claimed a pair of top-ten results including a fourth-place effort on Sunday with a late race drive and added this top-five finish to a podium result earlier in the year at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

“Veteran driver turned Team Owner returns to the seat”

Hixon Motor Sports (HMS) is electrified to announce a new driver will enter the lineup for the full event at Road America.

In a busy weekend that saw six Copeland Motorsports entries on track across two different race programs at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, it was Luca Mars the earned the team’s best result in their Mazda efforts. Taking on the Idemitsu Mazda MX-5 Cup Presented by BFGoodrich® Tires, Mars scored a pair of top-ten finishes, including a third-place podium result on Sunday, the first of his career, as he continues to come into his own as the series crosses the mid-season point.
