Indeed. When did they first state their intention to enter Le Mans again? From memory, it was 2012 or possibly even earlier. Mazda's racing commitments have felt like they're just sitting around, waiting for something to happen. If Nissan's approach to marketing in motorsports in recent years was a bucket of ice cold water poured over the head, then Mazda's approach has been something more akin to subliminal advertising.
Apart from the time they got scared that no one had heard of Skyactiv.
