2006 was the first season for the SCCA Pro Racing SIRIUS Satellite Radio Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Hankook.
It is the entry-level production car-based competition in SCCA Pro Racing.
The series aims to provide drivers with an opportunity to compete in similarly prepared low-cost cars with limited modifications.
The series receives backing from Hawk Performance, Hankook, Mazda, Pace American, Sirius Satellite Radio, Racetech, Mothers Polish and The Winning Team. All Mazda MX-5 Cup cars receive only minor upgrades. Bolt-on modifications include a new intake manifold and exhaust system, which increases the engine output from 170 to 200-horsepower. All vehicles have a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The suspension uses a coil-over kit with double adjustable shock absorbers and roll bars. Hankook tires are mounted on 17X8" wheels. Brake pads, fluid and lines are upgraded for the demands of racing. The Mazdas are fitted with an eight-point roll-cage welded into the car, racing seatbelts and a fire extinguishing system for safety. The season consists of eight forty-five-minute timed contests. Round one is in early May at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, and the year's final race is held at Road America.
Round four of the 2006 SCCA Pro Racing SIRIUS Satellite Radio Mazda MX-5 Cup was conducted at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Drivers would compete in a forty-five-minute contest around the thirteen-turn 2.258-mile road course.
