ROUND 7 - SEBRING

RACE: MONDAY NOVEMBER 25

8:00PM EST / 01:00AM GMT

Welcome to Season 7, Round 7

Just two rounds left in Season 7 and Round 7 brings us to historic Sebring for two 35-minute sprint races in the Ricmotech Mini-Mite Sportscar Challenge. Please Note - We are testing a BOP for the GT4 class on Wednesday and Thursday - a final decision on any BOP will be made and announced prior to the Sunday practices.

Many of you ran in the RWC race here on Monday so you know -- Turn 1, great if you don't spin on cold tires, Turn 3 crowded! Please work on your side-by-side racing from Turns 1 to the hairpin. Make sure you know what your car is going to do on relatively cold tires, rolling at 45 mph / 72 kph until the green flag is called, once you get to Turn 1 and may be in a 3-wide situation.

LMP3 drivers need to test the go and no-go zones for passing here, with special attention to passing left or right after Turn 10 (around Turn 11), as well as the short chute between T15 and T16 before the long back straight.

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