Welcome to Seaason12, Round 3 of the Ricmotech World Challenge !

Welcome to Round 3 of the Ricmotech World Challenge. Our thanks to Frank Rico and the team at Ricmotech for their continued support of the series!

This round takes us to Motegi for a 90-minute race. Plan your pit strategy and calculate your fuel usage accordingly! Please also be aware of the location of the official start line as you cannot pass before that point (it's most of the way down the front straight nearer to the end of pit lane and the overpass structure). Image pasted below. Also, even though we have the session built for a full pace lap, iRacing is likely to line us up on the back straight near the end of the track, so please practice some opening laps on colder tires.

Thank you to everyone for your flexibility on the practice sessions this weekend in light of the SuperBowl / Eagles Championship. There is still a practice session 4pm-6pm eastern time on Sunday.

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. 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!
