CorkSport is happy to announce touring car availability for those people\/teams who want a fun-to-drive and great-looking race\/track-focused Mazda 3! The goal of the build was to make a competitive and reliable TC race car and get Mazda back into multi-make competition, which goes back to the Speed Vision and World Challenge days of the early 2000s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the 2024 season CorkSport has been validating the design work and lessons learned racing the CorkSport Mazda 3 TC in the SRO TC America TC class<\/a>.  We had multiple podium finishes and ran at the front proving the competitiveness of the Mazda platform against the Hyundai, Honda, and Mini TC class cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The base of the build is the Mazda 2.5 Skyactiv engine with a CorkSport bespoke turbo kit<\/a> developing well over 300 wheel hp in TC trim.  The TC car engine management is handled by a Motec M1 ECU, in conjunction with a Bosch Motorsports LC2 wideband controller, and a Motec C125 dash\/logger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 6 speed Mazda gearbox is equipped with a clutch type LSD and upgraded 3-4 gears with a transmission cooler, while the clutch is an off the shelf X-Clutch single disc clutch<\/a>\/flywheel combo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Penske shocks\/Swift springs, CorkSport upper mounts, and upgraded suspension pick-up points handle road racing while allowing for accurate suspension settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braking is handled by a 364x32mm 6 piston CorkSport race brake kit which uses floating front rotors paired with upgraded rear pads and brakelines on OEM calipers.  The brakes are covered with 18×10 Enkei lightweight RPF1 wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To top off the build is the widebody kit which includes, front bumper, splitter, front and rear fenders, side skirts, rear bumper and TCr spec rear wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
