Mazda has commissioned JOTA Sport to prepare the vehicle and manage the race team.
The team of four drivers includes Stefan Johansson, who knows endurance racing inside out and has an outstanding track record as a driver for Mazdaspeed at 24 Hours of Le Mans and Wolfgang Kaufmann, who has an intimate knowledge of the Nurburgring circuit.
They will also be joined by Owen Mildenhall, a journalist who has raced the Mazda MX-5 in a variety of competitions throughout England and Teruaki Kato, winner of Japan's Roadster Party Race.
Over 940,000 units of the MX-5 have been produced since the start of sales in 1989, and the model is recognised by Guinness World Records as the world's best-selling two-seater open-top sports car (over 900,000 units sold).
