IMSA Mazda Prototype Lites is a sprint series fielding prototype machinery in two classes. The L1 class is a mixed field of professionals and amateur drivers, while the L2 class runs primarily amateurs. The field is entry-level professional in calibre; top drivers include Andrew Evans and Misha Goikhberg. The series sits in the lower rungs of the IMSA ladder, drawing drivers from club racing and peer single-seater series, and feeding upward into IMSA Prototype Challenge and the Road to Le Mans programme. It functions as a stepping stone into prototype racing for drivers transitioning from lower-tier competition, rather than a destination where established professionals settle.
