The Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit plays host to the second round of the 2017 RDLMS by Vesaro series on Saturday with 40 cars looking to fight for the victory spoils in Northamptonshire.
The Thrustmaster 6 Hours of Silverstone is the scene for round two of the seventh running of the RDLMS by Vesaro rFactor 2 championship. Following an explosive start to the new campaign the teams and drivers will be chomping at the bit to take to the famous curves of Silverstone in another battle of speed, nerve, skill and commitment in a bid to take home the big points towards what is already proving to be a fantastically competitive endurance racing series.
With the race running in to the early evening, the teams of RDLMS by Vesaro will have ahead of them a punishing endurance sprint at the demanding Silverstone Grand Prix track. With only six hours on the clock the drivers will have to walk a fine tightrope between outright speed and endurance racing savvy, as even the smallest mistake could be the key to undoing your teams chances of taking the victory spoils come the chequered flag at race end.
We have already had a very exciting race at Interlargos for Round One back in April, and with the dust now settled, appeals now heard and attention fully focused on the upcoming race you can catch up on the current championship standings by viewing THIS LINK.
