Daytona Prototypes have been permitted a wide variety of engine brands and configurations, all of them are limited in power output to approximately 500 horsepower - which is plenty for a 2,275-pound car not equipped with technical aids such as ABS or traction control. While the rulebook keeps all brands of Daytona Prototype similar in appearance and fundamental performance, there is a wide range of aerodynamic and mechanical adjustment available to tailor the handling characteristics to the needs of individual drivers on particular tracks.

We will be using the iRacing league-tool this season for our races. Our championship races will be hosted under the "League Sessions" tab in the iRacing league page - these events are only available to GRAsim League members. We will continue to host public servers for practices open to all iRacing drivers.

To race in our championship events, you must be a member of the GRAsim.us league at iRacing. If you are not already registered there, please apply here: members.iracing.com/membersite/member/LeagueView.do?league=83.

Participation in teams is completely optional and not a requirement. Drivers not assigned to a team are considered “independent drivers” and do not earn points towards the team championship. Each driver can only participate in one team at a time. Teams are limited to no more than two drivers; both drivers will earn points towards the team championship.

DRIVERS: Register your participation by posting in this forum. Please provide us with your (1) iRacing name, (2) your preferred car number if any (please request a league number in this thread: "GRAsim Official Numbers"), and (3) your preferred skin choice also if known.

TEAMS: Also register your team by posting in this forum. Please give us (1) your team name, and (2) the names of your teammates.

CAR SKINS: If you or your team has their own paint scheme, please note it as "custom". Other drivers and teams can select a skin directly from www.tradingpaints.com/. We request that teammates use the same or similar paint skins to help with on-track identification.

I'll update these tonight!

Just a reminder gents ... if you plan to use a skin, please include it in your registration. I'm sure we'd all like to avoid having 10 cars on the track all using the same "Chip Gannassi-Target" paint job

I will add then that I am looking for sponsorship; I will not adorn my vehicle with stickers of companies that don't pay, at the very least, some form of contingency money

Hello Brandon - thanks for your interest in joining the championship!

Before I can register you for our championship, I'll need you to accept the iRacing-league invitation I sent you through the iRacing website. We host our championship races through iRacing's league tool (under the tab "League Sessions") so you'll need to be a member to participate in our races.

After you accept my invitation, you can ask for #92 as your driver number by posting your request here: grasim.freeforums.net/thread/19/grasim-official-numbers

Thanks again - and let me know if you have any questions or need any help navigating our forums.
