Mazda MX-5 Miata celebrates 20th at Le Mans

The Le Mans endurance race in France will be the venue for the 20th anniversary celebration of the Mazda MX-5 Miata. First shown at the Chicago Motor Show in February 1989, the original Mazda MX-5 triggered a rebirth of the two-seat roadster. The Miata is the very essence of sports car fun and it should have enough European fans to crowd the event.

Three generations of MX-5 have passed, earning it a place in the Guinness Book of World Records with more than 850,000 units sold to date.

A total of 200 MX-5 Miatas from all over Europe will meet at the 24 Hours of Le Mans to commemorate 20 years of Mazda’s cult roadster, and the special relationship it has with thousands of fans worldwide. The event has been organized in cooperation with MX-5 clubs around Europe and will take place on 13 and 14 June this year.

Mazda MX-5 owners and fans wishing to be part of this exciting event are requested to contact their national MX-5 club or visit the Mazda France mazda.fr website. A complete package is on offer for attendees, including a place for their car, an anniversary polo shirt, a rally plate, dinner and breakfast and some other stuff, all from 100 Euros. It also includes a unique chance to experience the thrill of watching the 24 Hours of Le Mans race live, since the participants will be invited to camp at an exclusive Mazda Camp reserved for them bordering the circuit.
