Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Shunichi Kito) is pleased to announce that its North American affiliate, Idemitsu Lubricants America Corporation (ILAC), is the proud sponsor of the Mazda prototype　motorsports team at the 2020 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship sanctioned by the International Motorsports Association (IMSA).

The IMSA WeatherTech Sports Car Championship, which includes the Daytona 24 Hours Race and the Sebring 12 Hours Race, is considered one of the most important and desired American motorsports platforms. ILAC supports the highest class within this championship by sponsoring the Mazda (RT-24P) race team. The Daytona 24 Hours Race, which essentially launches the 2020 racing season, is one of the world's three endurance races and the most popular race in the series.

On the track, Idemitsu Lubricants America Corporation is sponsoring both the No. 77 and No. 55 Mazda (RT24-P) Daytona Prototypes. The team is off to a great start with No. 77 Mazda (RT24-P) recently setting an unofficial lap record during qualifying, to take the pole position for the Daytona Prototypes. The team will return to compete at the Rolex 24 in Daytona on January 22-26.

IKC has worked hard to foster a strong partnership with Mazda. Going beyond the track, the two organizations have historically worked closely together to co-engineer customized and state-of-the-art lubrication solutions for Mazda's unique engine technology.
