This week, those three sim competitors will head to VIRginia International Raceway in the United States for a three-day Formula Car Shootout.

They’ll be competing against one another for a full-season seat in the Skip Barber Formula Race Series, last year won by Aaron Vazquez.

Caruana will be making his second attempt in the Shootout, while Kadlečík and Hawkin will both attempt it for the first time.

Caruana has competed in the Peugeot 206 Production Cup since last year’s Shootout, scoring three podiums in four races.

What I learn in the next few days will be things I can carry into whatever happens next.”
