Young and old racers alike (some as young as 14 years old) will manhandle their [Mazda MX-5 Cup ND2]() racing machines around the 14-turn, 4.04-mile road course twice this weekend—once for round five of the 2019 season on Friday and again on Saturday for round six. Fans can watch the action online at [MazdaMotorsports.com]() via live stream starting at 4:50 p.m. on Friday and 4:25 p.m. on Saturday. Both times are local to Road America, which is on the Central time zone. Previously, live streams for the Global MX-5 Cup have been shown on Mazda's [YouTube channel](), but this time they will be shown live on Maza Motorsport's page instead. A Mazda Motorsports spokesperson told *The Drive* that the feeds will be uploaded to YouTube immediately following the conclusion of the race, where fans will be able to watch them on-demand. This weekend's races will see the likes of Mazda MX5-Cup [Rookie of the Year Selin Rollan]() fight for victory at the draft-friendly circuit, while the series' youngest-ever winner, 15-year-old Robert Noaker, will be looking to consolidate on Thursday's impressive practice performance. ## Author Jerry is responsible for upholding The Drive's ethos as an audience-first, enthusiast-driven car blog that serves up industry-leading news, reviews, culture, and motorsport coverage.
