FRL One-Off Events Announced

 In an effort to promote interest, excitement, fun and perhaps a little mayhem ahead of May's Indy events, the FRL is pleased to announce two One-Off events have been added to the calendar for this season's racing.

 First, something truly unique for the FRL is going to be attempted. On March 29th we invite all FRL drivers to participate in the Modern Off-Roaders Derby! This event will feature trucks from the Modern Off-Roaders Division of cars in Forza 7. Any of the vehicles may be used that do not exceed a P.I. limit of D-350. Modification and tuning is allowed as long as it does not exceed the performance limit. This event will be run at the VIR Grand East circuit in daylight conditions.

Then on April 12th we invite all to participate in the Classic Street Showdown. This event will feature vintage muscle from the Classic Street Muscle Division of cars in Forza 7. Please note that the Forza Edition vehicles are excluded from this event. The performance limit for this one-off will be C-500. Mods and tuning are allowed so long as they do not exceed the C-500 limit. This event will be run on the Airfield Circuit, a first for the FRL as well. Join us in the Mojave dessert for this unique one-off event!

 Each of these events will be staged in three heats. Qualifying will begin at 8:45 each night with green flag on the first heat at 9 PM Central time. The heats will be 4-5 laps each.

 Please contact Ethan Maestri for any further details and we hope to see a big group for each of these Run-for-fun events!

Indy Mini-Series In Lead-up to FRL's Indy 200

 2020 marks the 5th year the FRL will be hosting an Indy Car E-racing event at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The FRL is even more excited to announce an expansion of events leading up to the running of the Indy 200 on May 17th this year!

 Two more Indy events are added to the calendar to help drivers to get better accustomed to these X999 monsters in Forza 7. Beginning April 19th, an FRL mini-series of racing will begin with the Age of Geek Podcast 120 to be held at Homestead Speedway Circuit. This 80 lap event will put everyone into the racing mindset needed for quick decisions and smooth racing in the month to come. Lapping at nearly 24 seconds per 1.5 miles, the total race will cover 120 miles in around 30 minutes.

 Then on May 3rd, the Indianapolis Grand Prix Circuit will host the DBtN Grand Prix. This 28 lap event will test the mettle of even the most veteran drivers. Finally, on May 17th the crown jewel of the FRL calendar will take place. The 5th running of the FRL's Indy 200 event at the famed Brickyard Speedway. Last year saw Ethan Maestri take his first victory at the event. He will face stiff competition from two-time winner Andrew Steppat, inaugural winner Travis Billingsley and a host of up and coming FRL drivers at this most prestigious event.

 Points will be awarded at each event based on placement, and a champion will be crowned at the end of this mini-season. Cars allowed are as follows:

 Low Downforce (circle track) aero package will be mandatory for the two oval tracks. High Downforce (Road Course) aero package will be mandatory for the Grand Prix event. Additionally, the 'Shift w/clutch' option will be removed from play in order to reflect the technology of the real cars on track. 'Automatic' will be allowable.

 Now is the time to begin your preparations for this exciting series of racing! Please contact the FRL with your intent to participate at your earliest convenience.
