CAR CLASSES
Your team can choose from 8 GT3 cars and 4 DPi cars. We recommend DPi cars only for experienced sim racers because their speed can be compared to LMP2 cars and they don’t have ABS which makes braking very challenging.
GT3 cars are easier to set up and usually provide closer racing. They have ABS and TC systems which make them much easier to drive compared to DPi. All cars BoP could be updated.
CLASSIFICATION - REQUIRED PRACTICE / RATING
The driver who wants to participate with the GT3 class car needs to complete 20 VALID laps with the GT3 class car in the EVENT’S free practice server, to be able to register for the event until the end of the registration.
The driver who wants to participate with the DPi class car must have a rating of at least 1300 and complete 20 VALID laps with the DPi car in the EVENT’S free practice server, to be able to register for the event until the end of the registration.
If you drive clean laps in practice you will complete the required valid laps requirements faster and also learn how to properly drive in endurance races, where consistent and clean laps are much more important than overall pace.
CIRCUIT
24 Hours of Daytona is a prestigious 24-hour sports car endurance race held annually at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. It is run on the Sports Car Course layout, a 3.56-mile (5.73 km) combined road course, utilizing portions of the tri-oval and an infield road course allowing for some strategic drafting and fuel saving.
Generally, it’s an easy and safe track with plenty of runoff areas, so it’s a great place to start your endurance racing experience.
TRACK CONDITIONS
Track will update in real-time according to real conditions. This includes air temperature, wind, and cloud cover. There will also be a 24-hour day & night cycle. Note that this feature also applies for free practice servers.
ENDURANCE USING ONE ACCOUNT
For special events on Assetto Corsa, it’s enough to have one WSS account per team to participate in the race. IT IS NOT mandatory to have at least 2 drivers in a team!
All the teams in the race will have to make 10 (ten) Long Pitstop, which will take 3 minutes. This is done not to give any advantage to the single-user teams. However, you still need to represent a team to participate in this event, even if you will race using one account. Find a team or create a team here.
ENDURANCE USING MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS
It is also possible for a team to race that's made up of 2 to 5 different WSS accounts. You will need to make a minimum 10 (ten) Long Pitstop during which you will do the driver swap. You need to join or create a team to race with your team members. A maximum of 5 (Five) drivers in one team are allowed.
BRIEFING
There will be a mandatory briefing for all the drivers participating in Daytona 24H. All drivers must attend the briefing because we will provide all the necessary information on how to race in this special event. After the briefing, there will be a Q&A session that is not mandatory. Briefing starts 1h before the server starts and will take approximately 30 minutes.
The briefing will be on the World Sim Series Discord special events channel
