BROADCAST: 8:10PM EST / 1:10AM GMT

Welcome to Seaason12, Round 1 of the Ricmotech World Challenge !

Welcome to a new season of the Ricmotech World Challenge. Our thanks to Frank Rico and the team at Ricmotech for their continued support of the series!

We open the season with a 75-minute race at Sebring. Be sure you are familiar with the start procedure if you have not run with us before. Remember that we ignore the iRacing "Green" and you cannot break out of line and try to pass the car ahead of you until AFTER the official starting line.

There are 8 hours of practice on Sunday in 2-hour sessions starting at 4pm eastern time. Drivers are strongly encouraged to join for at least some of these practice sessions so that you can get to know the driving styles of the competitors in your class and the mixed class racing scenarios you might encounter during the race.

Drivers should be sure to make sure they know their fuel and tire needs for a 75 minute race.

Please join us at 7:00 pm eastern time on Monday in the practice session for some practice starts before the mandatory drivers' meeting at 7:30pm. At 7:00pm we will line up the classes on the back straight and do at least two practice starts. And we usually finish that practice by having the GT3s line up in front of the Prototypes 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!
