FRL Season 7 Set For November Start

 November 19th will begin the seven race, seventh season of FRL racing. Andrew Steppat has dominated all the previous six seasons of racing, but newcomers and old veterans alike are looking forward to a new season and new opportunities to improve their skills in this sim racing select series.

 This seasons MX Club Cup will feature the MX-5 Cup from Mazda. It will be run, unmodified, at its base rating of D-382. Indeed a much slower class than what we have been running, but on a track list that will maximize the fun factor for this pocket-rocket of a mini racer. However, even without upgrades, there are still a lot of adjustments that can be made to this vehicle. Suspension is fully tuneable, tire pressures, sway bars, etc. Aero, limited slip and transmission gearing will remain fixed. This is a spec series and all will have to rely more heavily on skill to get them around the track faster.

 The format for this series will feature three heats per event. Winners of any heat will be awarded a bonus point. Fastest lap time on the night will be awarded a bonus point as well. Series points will be awarded to finishers average position from all three heats of the event. Lap counts are still being calculated, but each event is expected to run no more than an hour per evening for all three heats.

 The tracks and dates selected for the 2017 MX Club Cup are as follows:

November 19th - Brands Hatch Indy Circuit
December 3rd - Lime Rock Full Circuit
December 17th - Prague Short
December 31st - Rio Mini Circuit
January 14th - Silverstone National Circuit
January 28th - Virginia International Raceway South
Feburary 11th - Road Atlanta Club Circuit

 We hope to see all our FRL drivers on the track for this exciting, compact, and final season of the FRL in the Forza 6 race engine!
