It was announced today that Mazda Motorsports will be offering West Coast Formula Car Challenge competitors a total of $11,250 in cash contingency awards for the 2019 season.
“Our series and drivers really appreciate that Mazda recognizes the FCC presented by Goodyear as being worthy of Mazda Motorsports support,” stated Series Official Mark Milazzo. “We are always impressed with the amount of investment that Mazda makes in the sport we all love. Many of our racers, mechanics, and officials drive Mazdas as their everyday vehicles. It’s been really great to watch some of our alumni making it to the top levels of motorsports with assistance from Mazda.” 2012 Formula Car Challenge champion Kyle Kaiser secured the top rung of the Mazda Road to Indy in 2017 by winning the Indy Lights Championship.
