In an interesting turn of events, the Joest racing folk have been signed by Mazda to run their IMSA DPi program starting in 2018.
If you can't quite remember why that name is familiar, think about all the success of the Audi prototypes...yup, the same Joest Racing will be the factory Mazda Prototype team.

Not a bad move for Mazda. The current team sure is not performing. Could this be a reaction to Penske running the Acura Prototypes?

Mr. Joest has been around for a long time and mucho successful.

I completely missed this so in case it wasn't obvious to all re the Mazda-Joest connection...
Mazda have now dropped out of the 2017 season. I knew they wouldn't be racing as Mazda Team Joest until the 2018 season starts but missed the immediate termination of their current program. No Mazda prototypes for the rest of 2017. -

Both look great! I'll take the bottom one. Blue is the fastest color after all.

Semi-related question: Does anyone know how to get MINI JCW team swag aside from actually being at the track? I reached out to the team via email and haven't heard back.
