I did a 2:11.0 on my first lap with the Corvette testing tonight. Dax is in a prototype Ford for Daytona.

Round 1 - 10 FEBRUARY
Daytona 150
Daytona Road Course
1 Pace Lap @ 60mph
43 Race Laps / 150 Miles
The teams are arriving at Daytona, in a move which heralds the start of yet another classic season of sportscar action. The re-named prototype category may have lost its champion Spurgy, but instead has much more depth to make up. Up to 6 Ford's and 2 Ferrari's include some fine drivers, and whilst the blue oval has a numerical advantage of 3 to 1, it still might mean nothing over 43 laps.
New rules mean the "Prototype" category use compound S3 tyres, which have severely reduced grip than the old R2 and R1 compounds used. However the cars have taken a step forward in aero, speeds down the straights are higher, and as a result pole time will surely be too far off last seasons laps.
The undercard for WSC this season is the new GT category. Perhaps its unfair to call it the undercard, because it will provide some incredibly close racing. AC, Chevrolet, Corvette, Jaguar, and Shelby are all bringing cars to this category which has minimum tuning and S1 tyres. Expect the battle to rage in this class all race long.
Race Control Statement To Drivers From Furinkazen
A few reminders to drivers of the rules - GT cars are allowed to hold their line, Prototypes have to find their through. Also for the pace lap everyone will be single file @ 60mph, one by one off the grid as the banking is difficult to put power down on from a standing start.
Field will form up AFTER the Bus Stop Chicane in double file staggered formation, green from whenever the overall leader decides to go from pit lane start to the start line - the race will be green from when the lead car crosses the start line, so overtaking will be permitted from then.
If you sustain damage on the pace lap pull off to the side but do NOT pass the leader before going into the pits, and also make sure if you are damaged and off pace during the race to make it clear you are and try and keep off the racing line - I will be on mic reporting any incidents I see through to other drivers.
Good luck to all! Furinkazen

Just a couple of questions about the pace lap/rolling start. Do we all start when the overall leader chooses to go, or when the class leader chooses to go? And is the start single file or in pairs?

When the overall leader crosses the line, green from then. Also double file, form up after the bus stop. I'll add that in actually.

Nice one, thats pretty much what i thought but I just wanted to clarify.

Also, i'll add to that, for race finish it's race to the FINISH LINE , not TIMER. And 2/3rds points refer to 2/3rds of your class leader.

What? What are 2/3rds points mean?

When leader crosses line, race ends when you cross the line after him, you don't race back to the clock countdown.
And for the points... well OP explains that on pts scoring.

So, when the leader finishes, you finish that lap and stop?

No way man! That's so cool. My grandad used to race a fully race modified MG Midget (which he wrote off ) and a race modified, but still road legal MG C which we still have!
