The Cars

The mod contains both the NAGT GT cars, and the Grand Slam Daytona prototypes. Drive whichever car you like. We will ask people to commit to a car for the race so we can make sure we have some racers in both classes.

The NAGT cars are very powerful, but heavy. They run a street tire that is very easy to burn-off. There are many cars to choose from, and they all drive VERY differently.

The Daytona Prototypes are a much closer controlled spec. There are several different chassis and engine types, and where there is some difference between them its much less that between the NAGT cars. I find the DPs easy to drive up to 8/10s, and pretty easy to catch in a spin, but getting a top time in one is very challenging. If you run a DP, be aware that there is a sprint package brake option under upgrades that you may want to run.

Notes

1. Because Daytona has a banked straightaway, we will be using a ROLLING START. Please read this thread for information on how the rolling start works.

2. The race will start in daylight and will end in darkness. Therefore, make sure you map a button or key to your headlights! Also, note that rFactor requires you to use headlights when it is dark... if you don't, you will be disqualified! Be VERY careful about flashing your lights to signal passes after dark... in fact, it is best if you just leave your lights on to make sure you don't get a DQ.
