2020 Florida Speedweeks for Supermodified Sim Racing Begins February 3

January 31, 2020 – Goshen, IN…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), 2020 Florida Speedweeks for supermodified sim racing beings on February 3 and the week-long trek through the Sunshine State visits five tracks in five nights before crowning a Speedweeks Champion on Friday, February 7.

Five Nights, Five Tracks

Featuring five tracks in five nights, SUPRS 2020 Florida Speedweeks has a little something for everyone.  Every track is completely different and the week includes tracks from a 1/3 mile inside a stadium to high-banked 3/4 mile and everything in between. These variations of track sizes, banking, surface and two different sim racing platforms always makes for great racing and unpredictable finishes each night. 

For the third year in a row, the schedule and tracks for Speedweeks stays the same and that consistency should lead to track records being broken as the drivers have honed their set ups over the last few years.

2019 Speedweeks One for the Record Books

Last year, in what mirrored the closest season championship points battle in SUPRS history, Rob Warren and Keith Powell found themselves tied in Florida Speedweeks points at the end of five nights. Powell, the perfect image of consistency throughout the week, was the defending Speedweeks Champion, and was looking for his third straight Speedweeks Championship, hoping to break his own record of being the only driver in SUPRS history to win the SUPRS Florida Speedweeks Championship back to back.

Warren was as hot as the Florida sun throughout the week and won three features, making him just the third driver in SUPRS history to accomplish that feat. Ultimately, that was what broke the 340 point tie between himself and Powell, allowing Warren to win his very first SUPRS Florida Speedweeks Championship.
