TORA ASCC 2021 - Round 1 (Daytona) Driver's Briefing and Track Limits

Welcome to the first round of the 2021 Season of the American SportsCar Championship.  Grab your sunscreen and flipflops as we head down to Daytona, Florida to visit the famous Daytona International Raceway.  Daytona is a track that really does not need any introduction.  The track is no stranger to hosting large events and is certainly not a stranger to TORA competition.  TORA has hosted several races at Daytona, including hosting a yearly 24-hour race at the track every year since 2016.  

Qualifying - Qualifying for ASCC will be a timed session lasting 15 minutes.  Once 15 minutes have expired, racers will finish the lap that they are currently on before stopping on the back straight.  The pits will be open the entire 15 minutes for pit stops. Drivers that fail to complete a clean lap time will have their fastest dirty lap time will be recorded and placed lower than the slowest clean lap times. Remember that drivers should be/appear online 15 minutes prior to the qualifying start, and should keep in-party chat to a minimal.
 
Race - This will consist of 48 racing laps (1 pace lap + 48 racing laps + 1 extra for results collection) for a total of 50 laps. Drivers are expected to be familiar with the rules and regulations come race time. 

Pit Stops - There is 2 mandatory pit stop during the race. The pit lane will be opened after the second racing lap (Lap 3) and will be closed two laps prior to the final racing lap (Lap 47).

Starting Procedure - The race will start with a typical 60 mph 2x2 Rolling Start towards the end of the warm-up lap. Remember that each row of 2 cars are not to accelerate to race pace until THEY pass the Start/Finish line.

For qualifying, all drivers are expected to set Forza clean laps.  If you do not set a clean lap, a minute will be added to your time (as per TORA Standard Procedure).

For this race, we are making clarifications as to track limits at specific sections of the track. As standard, 2 wheels MUST remain on track at all times, designated by the lines on the outside of the track.  The only exception is the Bus Stop Chicane.
