Welcome to Round 3 of the MSC Season 7 Championship!

Round 3 of the Ricmotech MiniMite Sportscar Challenge takes place at the Indy Road Course. Yes, the starts here are challenging but this group of drivers is up to the task. And hopefully we learned a lot from the Round 1 race here by the RWC series. Good practice on Sunday with side-by-side racing into Turn 1 and Turn 12 will pay big dividends on Monday. We look for two great 35-minute sprint races on Monday.

Remember that we have to do some manual grid sorting especially for the inversion in the second race, so you must be able to hear the Race Steward's instructions for gridding in Race 2. Also, 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.

As usual at 7:10pm eastern time on Monday join us in the practice session for some practice starts before the mandatory drivers' meeting at 7:30pm. At 7:10pm we will line up both classes on the back straight and do at least two practice starts. And we usually finish that practice by having the GT4s line up in front of the LMP3s and then running a lap or two while everyone gets some practice with mixed-class passing in heavy traffic.

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