Mazda is getting serious about showing off the Skyactiv-D turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine in the Mazda6.
The automaker has just announced it will campaign three diesel Mazda6
racers in the Grand-Am GX class of the upcoming 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona
in a quest to walk away with the company's 24th class win. Mazda
partnered with SpeedSource to develop the race version of the new sedan,
with Japanese and American engineers lending a helping hand where
needed. Meanwhile, Freedom Autosport and Visit Florida
Racing/SpeedSource/Yellow Dragon Racing will helm teams of their own.
