To celebrate the 20th anniversary of its MX-5 (nee Miata) roadster, Mazda recently hosted a special commemorative event at its Miyoshi Proving Ground in western Japan that drew 1,600 cars.
The Hiroshima-based automaker said some 2,600 owners and fans journeyed from all over Japan and overseas to join the celebration. The event was officially launched with a toast from a 20-year-old roadster owner, who was born the same year as the iconic MX-5 was first launched.
During the event, owners got to speak with the MX-5’s development team, there were congratulatory speeches and guests were invited to take part in a roadster quiz. Mazda’s director and senior managing executive officer in charge of vehicle development, Seita Kanai, promised in his speech that “The Roadster is forever!” which got the crowd cheering.
To end the event, all 1,600 MX-5s paraded around the banked test track at the Miyoshi Proving Ground.
