MID-WEEK PRACTICE BULLETIN

Welcome to Round 5 of the Ricmotech World Challenge which takes us to the legendary Silverstone GP Circuit. This marks the start of the second-half of our season. It is flying by! The racing keeps getting better and better, so let's keep the momentum headed in the right direction.

Lots of room to race here. Let's be sure to use the practice sessions to really get in some good side-by-side and passing exercises, including the mixed-class racing scenarios. There are some fast sweeping corners here where the prototypes are going to be tempted and able to dive to the inside, but the timing has to be right. And GT drivers should be sure to use practice to study the closing rates of the two types of prototypes out there.

LMP2 please note your fuel window is extremely tight at this track. Be sure to check your consumption and whether you need any fuel saving strategy -- probably won't but check.

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