Welcome to Season 8, Round 1 of the Ricmotech MiniMite Sportscar Challenge!

We are just one day away from the kickoff of a new season of the Ricmotech MiniMite Sportscar Challenge. As of this writing we have 41 drivers signed up with a pretty even distribution across GT4 AM, GT4 PRO, and LMP3. Many returning drivers and a few joining us for the first time. Welcome!

A few important reminders prior to Monday: (1) The cutoff for submitting a custom paint is NOON on Sunday. The Xtreme Scoring software will not accept new paints after that time but will start accepting them again on Tuesday after Monday's race. (2) Join us for some practice on Sunday and be sure to practice your pit entries and pit exits, along with figuring out your fuel and tire strategy. (3) On Monday, at 7:10pm eastern time, we will pause practice and do some practice starts. This is followed by the mandatory Drivers' Meeting on Discord at 7:30pm. (4) Lastly, you should program your iRacing radio with channel: RSIM for "race steward instant message" as you can use that channel (and only that channel please) to notify the Race Stewards of an incident that you think they may have missed.

Let's put on a great show for the broadcast!
