WORLD ENDURANCE LAN: 3 DRAP RACING TEAM TRAINS FOR THIRD RACE AT DIFFICULT SEBRING CIRCUIT
From 23 to 25 March our team will experience a very busy weekend. In fact, the pilots will be involved in a double endurance event on two different platforms: in addition to the WEL competition, the 12-hour Sebring race on iRacing will also be held.
As we know, the second edition of the 3DRap Scouting Event Blind 2023 has just ended, it brought three new riders to the Squadra Corse team. In the meantime, the team continues to train in view of the third race of the World Endurance Lan on the Sebring circuit in Florida, as always on Assetto Corsa.
The third round of the national championship organized by LICS (Italian League of Simulation Centers) and dedicated exclusively to sim racing centers throughout Italy, exceptionally also opening the doors to the Irpinia company’s racing team, is scheduled for the weekend from 23 to 25 March. The competition will take place in the 3DRap corporate headquarters, which, as for the previous races, will be transformed into a real sim racing center: in fact, the workstations usually used for product tests will be totally reconfigured to accommodate the team’s drivers, who compete with the support of the whole team.
The teams of the 3DRap “stable”
For the “Yellow” Team, the Rotello – Giachino duo is back on the Porsche 911 GT3, the two protagonists and winners of the first race at Monza. On board the “Red” Porsche, on the other hand, the Martorana – Dal Rio couple, flanked for the first time by Giuseppe Muià, well-known sim-racing driver, as well as coach and official driver of the team. All of them ready to challenge the greatest Italian sim racers in one of the toughest endurance races of the WEL championship.
It won’t be an easy challenge
In fact, the pairs of drivers will have to face the difficult concrete of the American track, in a 1000-mile race that will see them engaged for about 8 hours. “It will be a demanding race, Sebring is a particular track due to the cement instead of asphalt, which creates many bumps and bumps – says Roberto Martorana, team manager of 3DRap Squadra Corse -. This makes the cars quite nervous, especially towards the end of the stint, where the tires are worn and the grip decreases a lot. But we can’t wait to be in Avellino, the welcome from the 3DRap guys is always something special. Let’s see what Giovannone will delight us with this time!” concludes Martorana enthusiastically in view of the next exciting race of the WEL championship.
But that’s not all from 3DRap
The same weekend, from 23rd to 25th March, will also host the 12 Hours of Sebring on iRacing, which will see on track, with the Ferrari 488, the crew made up of Daniel Zanon, Roberto Monticciolo and Matteo Stromieri, the latter third on final podium of the 3DRap Scouting Event Blind Edition 2023.
A double endurance, therefore, on two different platforms, it will see the whole 3DRap team busy between Saturday and Sunday. It will be a weekend of adrenaline, enthusiasm and desire to win.
