MID-WEEK PRACTICE BULLETIN

Welcome to Round 4 of the Ricmotech World Challenge which takes us to Road Atlanta where IMSA's Petit LeMans just finished. This week's race is our usual 75-minute contest. We know traffic will be an issue on this track, so please participate in some of the practice sessions to get a sense for the give and take needed to make mixed-class racing work here.

We want to see some nice clean starts here, which means you need to practice taking Turn 3 side-by-side. We know Turn 3 is major choke point on that opening lap. Divers need to be ready for traffic to come to a near stop there on the opening lap, and you need to be able to safely navigate the blind corner whether you end up being on the left or the right at the start. Both drivers have a role to play in giving enough room and maintaining proper car control.

Please join us at 7pm on Monday for the practice starts as usual. Let's put on a great race for the broadcast!
