Got a rumor in my inbox today that I'm...fairly certain is a load of crap. Only even really posting because I'd like some verification that I'm recalling things correctly regarding why I think it's crap.
Put simply, the rumor claims that Mazda will end it's sponsorship of the MPC class in the IMSA Prototype Challenge after 2018, as the result of an alleged plan by IMSA to change the MPC into a more open class based on the SCCA's Prototype 1 regulations.
Now, as much as I'd like to see the latter part of that rumor actually happen, I'm pretty sure that when IMSA arranged the Prototype Challenge championship this year, Mazda committed to sponsoring the MPC through at least 2020. But I can't find anything about that, so my brain might just be completely making that up.
Even so, I doubt this rumor has ANY legs at all, but does anyone have any verification regarding the length of Mazda's MPC sponsorship commitment?
