Mazda recently announced that it has partnered with CarAdvice to promote the all-new Mazda MX-5 Miata. The two sponsored a new ‘correspondent search competition’ which invites readers to submit a car owner review – the major prize offering being a three-month paid job test driving and reviewing cars online. After selecting three entrants to go through to a final audition, the three entries were taken to a secret racetrack where there were three new 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miatas waiting to be test driven. Karla Leach, Senior Manager, Public  Relations, Mazda said: “The inaugural CarAdvice Correspondent has provided a terrific forum to help drive awareness of the all new Mazda MX-5. We enjoyed the approach that each finalist took in their review of the car and congratulate them all on their submissions.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:

Automotive News recently published an article on the partnership that took the automotive industry by storm. The moment Mazda Motor Corp. execs received notice that Ford Motor Co was selling its stakes from 33% to 13%,  Takashi Yamanouchi’s reaction was unforgettable. This was the opportunity that automakers began to see a chance to design their destiny without Ford influence. In this partnership, Mazda helped Ford develop small-car engineering systems and in return, Ford helped with finance and marketing. Although Mazda was excited to have its freedom, the Japanese automaker is looking for partners once again and is willing to sell some of its equity stake.

This past weekend is one of the busiest times of the year for Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca – the track hosts a paddock race series during the weekend every year and this year the Raceway wrapped up the Classic Car Week with a series of lecture series. Brian Redman, three-time Formula 5,000 Champion, said: “The main reason Formula 5,000 came about was that it cost less than half the cost of a Formula One car. The performance was very similar. At Watkins Glen in the U.S. and Motorsport in Canada, where the two types of cars raced in North America, there were two types of cars race in North America, there was less than a half a second between them. Yet in spite of the similarities in performance, they were two different cars.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:
