The 17th Annual Petit Le Mans presented by Mazda was the 2014 edition of the Petit Le Mans automotive endurance race, held on October 3, 2014, at the Road Atlanta circuit in Braselton, Georgia, United States.[1] This marked the first Petit Le Mans run under the newly merged Tudor United Sportscar Championship.

The race was won by Wayne Taylor Racing in 10 hours (400 laps). A record number of 13 cautions was set for the event.[2]
