Welcome to Round 7 of the RWC Season 11 Championship!

Just two rounds left in Season 11 of the Ricmotech World Challenge. Round 7 brings us to Road America, a place most of you know well. And while the pressure is on to earn those critical points to improve your championship standings, let's also keep up a high level of racecraft and situational awareness.

Just as a reminder - LMP2 drivers need to study their fuel situation carefully as I think even at 100% fuel (where you've been all season), you may be a gallon or two short if there are no caution laps. GTP and GT3 should be good with a one-stop race.

So now let's set aside the turkey drumstick and the pumpkin pie for a minute and get some good practice in on Sunday. Be sure to practice the timing of mixed-class racing situations around the carousel and at the kink right after it. Getting some good side-by-side racing practice will also pay off as this track provides several opportunities for challenges within a class and for mixed-class overtakes in braking zones.

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!
