LIVE RACE CONTROL

There will be live race control in Division 1 during the qualifying and the race to issue penalties during the race if necessary for contacts, dangerous driving, and connection issues.

CAR CLASSES

Your team can choose from 8 GT3 cars and one LMP3 car. We do recommend LMP3 car only for experienced sim racers because they don’t have ABS which makes braking very challenging and they are much faster so they require more precision.

GT3 cars are easier to control and to set up so the racing is usually closer in this class. They have ABS and TC systems which make them much easier to drive compared to the LMP3 prototype. All cars BoP could be updated no later than 2 weeks before the start.

CIRCUIT

24 Hours of Daytona is a prestigious 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.

Teams

• You need to register as a team even if you are the only member of that team.
• You can create your own team or see the recruiting teams list here.
• Registration during the last week will be paid.

REQUIRED CLASSIFICATION

We want to ensure that only responsible teams take to the start line, which is why there are classification requirements.

Requirements for each driver who wants to participate with the GT3 class car:

• Have an AM or higher driving license.
• Complete 20 VALID laps with the GT3 car in the EVENT’S free practice server.

Requirements for each driver who wants to participate with the LMP3 class car:

• Have an PRO-AM or higher driving license.
• Complete 20 VALID laps with the LMP3 car in the EVENT’S free practice server.
• Set a faster than 1:41.999 lap time with LMP3 in the event's free practice server.

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.

DIVISIONS

Divisions will be ordered by the fastest lap from the free practice session. More specifically by an average of the fastest laps set by the team. So if you want to race in the first division which will have live race control and live broadcast make sure you and your teammates put in a good lap in the free practice session of this event. You can see in which division you are currently if you have a Premium subscription.

qualifying

Qualifying will be split for GT3 and LMP3 cars. It will be the same 45 min session for both car classes. The first 20 min is for GT3 cars, then a short break, and the last 20min is for LMP3 cars.

ENDURANCE USING ONE ACCOUNT

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 14 (fourteen) Long Pitstops, which will take 3 minutes each. It doesn’t matter if you do a driver swap during the Long Pitstop or not.
