The year kicks off in conjunction with the new year of auto racing with the 24 Laps of Daytona. Taking place on the Daytona International Night circuit. The cars used will be a nostalgic look back some 30 years to the Endurance Prototypes of the past.
Additional details on this event will be forthcoming.
Then on Feb. 9th, there will be an experimantal foray into the Project Cars racing engine with an open ended play night to see how the engine holds up under FRL conditions. We'll try everything from Karts to GT3 & GT4 up to Formula classes as well on a variety of available tracks never seen in Forza.
Later in the month, "Gentlemen, start your engines" as the FRL rolls back into Daytona for 50 laps on the greatest speedway on Earth. The first running of the FRL's Daytona 125.
We'll break for a time as another season of the FEC will begin around that same time. Then in May, on the 25th, we will have the 2nd running of the Indianapolis 200. Last year Travis Billingsley scored his first career FRL victory here. Will he be able to defend his title, will someone else score their first win here?
Finally, as summer gets going and the auto racing world turns it's eye toward France, the FRL goes to Le Mans for a 1 hour race on this historic track. This round will feature the modern Prototypes of today. The Audi R18, Porsche 919 and Toyota Hybrid.
There may well be other One-Off's announced as the year progresses. But these four main events are going to have one added feature to them. Each race will pay points to participants that will be tallied at the end of the year to name a One-Off Challenge Champion.
So, get ready to buckle in for another fantastic year of racing in the FRL!
