"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.

The trio will be joined by Ryan Hunter-Reay in the Michelin Endurance Cup for 2020. Hunter-Reay, who drove the No. 55 Mazda RT24-P wih Bomarito at Mid-Ohio, was the winner of the 2012 NTT Indycar Series championship and the 2014 Indianapolis 500.

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.
