I really believe that Mazda is as deep in the motorsports pool as they wish to go and that the natural progression for them would be to Grand Am/ALMS, similar to what they did in IMSA and later in endurance racing.

That's an interesting point. Though if Mazda really wanted to up their profile as a manufacturer/constructor I couldn't think of a better series than the BTCC.
It'll be interesting to see what happens with Star Race Cars.
