ROUND 6 - SUZUKA

RACE: MONDAY NOVEMBER 11

8:00PM EST / 01:00AM GMT

Welcome to Season 7, Round 6

Round 6 brings us the super challenging but thrilling Suzuka International Racing Course for two 35-minute sprint races in the Ricmotech Mini-Mite Sportscar Challenge. Please Note - for remainder of the season 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%.

Suzuka takes some time to really master -- well, not sure you ever really "master" it -- but you can become "consistent" and you can be "quick most of time." Cold tire opening laps in the first several turns is going to challenge everyone's car control and patience. Be sure you do some real side-by-side racing in those sections this week. Mixed-class passing opportunities abound here but have to be timed right to work well for everyone.

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