Week 11 in the Thrustmaster Mustang Challenge sent the sim racers down to Sebring, Florida for some online racing under the lights at the 3.7-mile, 17-turn Sebring International Raceway.  228 drivers attempted to conquer the Florida darkness, but after seven days of competition, Jason Lisner (Virginias) emerged the top point earner for the week.

Weekly High Strength of Field
Danis Richard (Central-Eastern Europe) captured the victory in the week’s highest Strength of Field (SoF) event after a tight battle with Oscar Sahlin (Scandinavia) who came home second.  Marcel Wiemers (DE-AT-CH) rounded-out the final podium position.  Fourth was held down by Finnish sim racer Samuli Vahonen, and completing the top five was Maik Peters (Benelux).

A crowded -- but clean -- opening lap.
