As a precursor to a potential Rolex Sports Car Series for GTPlanet.net, I am proposing the Rolex 24 Laps of Daytona.
We are now discussing when race two will be held. World Times may be a useful link you can check out in my signature.
Classes of Competition:
Daytona Prototype - DP is a class open to all Group C and Le Mans Prototype cars in Gran Turismo 5. There are two strict rules in the class, the cars must be ballasted up to 1030kg and the power is to be restricted to 530hp.
Grand Touring - For the purposes of Gran Turismo 5, the GT class will feature the same production models that the GT cars in Grand-Am are based on; BMW M3, Chevrolet Corvette, Chevrolet Camaro, Porsche 911 (Ruf RGT), and Mazda RX-8. Below are the modifications that must be installed on each car and the weight and power each car must run and the rear wing position each car must apply.

The usual GTPlanet Online Racing rules apply. Any questions about the cars can be posted below.
The race will run 24 laps around Daytona Road Course. Two classes will be sharing the track, so I will post the obligatory video now. Please note that for our purpose on the high-banking, GT cars must maintain the high line while DPs are asked to hug the yellow line.
The server will be set to run 25 laps, the pace lap will be single file until the exit of the bus stop when the cars are to get into double-file formation, with the pole sitter on the inside. The start will be split with the GTs starting separate and behind the DPs.
If numbers dictate the race will be restricted to GT only.
If you want to race for the Rolex write down your name and the car you would like to run. At this point, I'm not particularly concerned with a split between DP and GT, as this is a fairly short race and I'd like to see which class the community responds better to for the purposes of a potential championship.
