CAR CLASSES
Your team can choose from 14 GT3 cars and one LMP2 car. We do recommend LMP2 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 LMP2 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.
