Read the rules section to understand how to register and participate in this race.
Submerse yourself into the world of endurance racing, where strategy, dealing with traffic, and driving fast yet consistently is key. Special events will be free to enter and enjoy for you and your friends!
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 an LMP2 car and they don’t have ABS. GT3 cars are easier to set up and usually provide closer racing.
CLASSIFICATION - required practice
To ensure good quality of races we are introducing classification requirements. The driver must complete 30 laps with GT3 car or 80 laps with DPi car in the EVENT’S free practice server to be able to register for the event. If the driver does not complete the required laps in the free practice, the driver can not register and participate in the race.
CIRCUIT
Road America is challenging: fast, narrow, heavy braking zones and barriers very close in a few corners. It's a motorsport road course located in Wisconsin, USA. It has hosted races since the 1950s and currently hosts races in the NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series, WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, IndyCar Series, SCCA Pirelli World Challenge, ASRA, AMA Superbike series, and SCCA Pro Racing's Trans-Am Series. Which makes it one of the most popular road courses in the USA.
Preparation
You can prepare for this special event easily using free practice servers that are running 24/7 before the race on WSS. When you join the event you can start practicing with one click of the button and WSS will sort out all the mods and BoP.
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 1 (one) Long Pitstop, which will take 3 minutes. This is done not to give any advantage to the single driver 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 from two different WSS accounts. You will need to make a minimum 1 (one) Long Pitstop during which you will do the driver swap. To race with your team members you need to join or create a team. Maximum 2 (two) drivers in one team are allowed.
BRIEFING
There will be a mandatory briefing for all the drivers participating in Road America. 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
