As Fall comes around again, the sim racing season gets ready to begin. The FRL is set to begin its final season of racing in the Forza 6 engine on Xbox One before moving on to Forza 7. Several drivers are looking forward to getting the most out of their NASCAR expansion pack before seeing what else Turn 10 has in store for the community.
Reigning champion Ethan Maestri enters the series with a new look and a new manufacturer, with MBR switching from Ford to Toyota and a retro sponsorship with Coors Light. Last seasons third place finisher, Travis Billingsley, has confirmed he is returning in the same Toyota, Big-O Tires ride. Paul Maestri returns with MBR as well, making the switch to Toyota and bringing with him his multi-series Red Bull sponsorship.
Last season, Tony Tyree and Nicholas Hargrove ended up tied for 4th place in the final points. This season they look to renew their rivalry. Tony returns in his Old Spice sponsored Chevrolet. While Nicholas is sporting a very sharp Konica Minolta liveried Chevy. We also have Brandon Adkins returning to the FRL. He gets set to start the Daytona 125 in a Chevy as well.
Still no word from the second place finisher in the championship points from last season, Drew Dilbeck. Owen Henderson has thus far made no announcements to join either. We'll have to wait and see who does finally show on Sunday night. The Daytona 125 will be a 50 lap event on the famed Daytona Speedway, under the lights no less! Fireworks won't just be in the air over Turn 1 as we should see plenty of sparks on the track as well. This event kicks off a 5 race mini-series for the FRL's Stock Car Championship series.
