Exciting Updates Coming to FRCS!

I've spent the past year developing a brand-new, improved version of FRCS, and I'm thrilled to share it with you during the off-season. My goal is to launch the updated site by January 15, 2025, giving you plenty of time to explore its new features, get familiar with the improvements, and be ready to roll by Daytona.

Thank you for your continued support - I can't wait for you to experience what's next!
