Storylines/Things to Watch:
Mid-July at Mid-Ohio -- For the past several years it was June when Hoosier Racing Tire SCCA® Super Tour visited Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio -- which is located about midway between Cleveland and Columbus. This year, however, the Mid-Ohio stop takes place in the middle of July. Why? Well, there was a Mid-Ohio calendar issue involving a pro racing series that was addressing a TV schedule conflict around the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics and … none of that matters anymore thanks to a pandemic. Be it June or July, Hoosier Super Tour racing at Mid-Ohio will be hot -- and SCCA is so happy to be back at the event hosted annually by .
Back to Classic “Club” Course -- In 2019, the Hoosier Super Tour at Mid-Ohio was conducted on the 2.258-mile, 13-turn Pro Circuit that eliminated the pre-Keyhole “bus stop” chicane. That layout was necessary a year ago because Keyhole “work and grading” was underway for a now defunct ARX Americas Rallycross series taking place at Mid-Ohio the weekend following Hoosier Super Tour activities. No such obstacles exist in 2020, so competitors will again face a 2.4-mile, 15-turn, classic “Club Course” at Mid-Ohio for the Hoosier Super Tour.
Sorry, No Spectators -- Usually, SCCA welcomes spectators at Hoosier Super Tour events to watch all the tremendous competition and cars. But because of government COVID-19 concerns, spectators will NOT be allowed at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course Hoosier Super Tour event this year. Fans can, however, still follow Hoosier Super Tour action online from Mid-Ohio with live timing/scoring, video, Super Tour Radio presented by Hoosier Racing Tire and more at .
