Mazda Team Joest Blazes Through IMSA Championship with Its Seasoned Drivers

Mazda Team Joest recently announced its familiar roster of impressive drivers who will drive the Mazda RT24-Ps for the 2020 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

"This is the season that I think will be pivotal for Mazda Team Joest. 2020 is the year that Mazda Team Joest contends for an IMSA championship. The pieces are already in place with one of the strongest driver lineups in the championship and a car, engine and technical package that has a lot of potential left in it after winning three times last season,” said Nelson Cosgrove, Director of Mazda Motorsports.

Meet Mazda's Most Eligible Drivers

Mazda's list of racers include Jonathan Bomarito and Harry Tincknell, who will partner for the third straight season driving the No. 55 Mazda RT24-P.

Meanwhile, Olivier Jarvis (GBR) and Tristan Nunez will drive the No. 77 Mazda RT24-P. The tandem first won at Canadian Tire Motorsports Parks and finished the podium thrice in the 2019 season.
