ROUND 5 - MAGNY-COURS

RACE: MONDAY OCTOBER 28

8:00PM EST / 01:00AM GMT

Welcome to Season 7, Round 5

We start the second-half of Season 7 of the Ricmotech MiniMite Sportscar Challenge takes at Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours for two 35-minute sprint races. Please Note - for the GT4 class we are going to invert for the second race just the top 10 instead of 50%. The LMP3 inversion will remain at 50%.

Magny-Cours is a new track for most of us, so making sure you get in some good practice this week will be important. We have about 5 days to figure out how the two classes can co-exist here, and where the in-class passing opportunities are.

Please also feel welcome to use the Discord server to chat amongst yourselves during practice.
