Welcome to Season 12, Round 5 of the Ricmotech World Challenge !

Welcome to Round 5 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 Le Mans for a 90-minute race in partial rain. Please be aware of the location of the official start line as you cannot pass before that point. Image pasted below. The opening laps in the wet are going to be very challenging. Please practice door-to-door racing especially in the opening turns in the wet for the start of the race. And let's approach the race start with the goal of getting everyone through the first lap, not just track position at all costs.

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. This is going to require cooperation due to the distance to get to the gridding point for the practice starts.

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