    Hard to believe there's only one race so far with a published broadcast schedule. Fortunately Gran-Am and Speed have another two months to get their acts together before the second race at the end of March.

    The first race is this Friday (27 Jan) at Daytona, broadcast date/time as mentioned by sdmidget, above. :Thumbsup:

    HOT OFF THE PRESS - We've added the 197 Car - but it's no longer a MINI - it's a new Honda Civic SI:

    RSR Motorsports Adds a Honda Civic to the Daytona Lineup: RSR Motorsport / RSR Racing

    Sorry Randy but this isn't exciting news...a Honda racing at RSR is like the proverbial turd in the punch bowl. :thumbdown:

    Randy thanks for stopping in & letting us know what is up with RSR. I'm sure your MINI fans will be there this year to support you. Good luck at Daytona! :Thumbsup:

    Randy it is great to hear you're back in the seat! I echo what Crashton says....we will be there cheering RSR on whatever you're racing . It's people not cars that makes all this worthwhile.

    Did anyone watch the race last Saturday on Speed? I thought it was a good one from a spectator standpoint. Unfortunately the RSR MINI's were barely mentioned. The only TV time the MINI's got was for a pretty ugly looking crash between 2 MINI's drafting & a BMW. I sure hope all involved are OK. :fingerscrossed:

    I was hoping Randy would fill us in on his perspective on the race. Barber should suit the MINI's well. Onward to the next race. :Thumbsup:

    This year Speed replayed all of the races. You will most likely have to wait for next December. Hope I did not spoil any ones DVR'd race. :eek:

    I think that is a better track for the MINI's. Looking forward to the race!

    A pleasant surprise:

    SPEED to Broadcast Complete Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge Season in 2012 (Grand-Am.com)
    The schedule in post #1 should be up to date now.

    Man is that going to be a tough race. With a field like that they will always be in heavy traffic. I hope the weather is cooler this year.

    Good luck Team RSR! :Thumbsup:
