    It's the first Ranked Event of 2025: Daytona 2.4H will take place on Saturday, February 1!

    36 drivers per grid will take on the GT3 or Mazda DPi for a 144 minute race at Daytona. The top split with the highest rated drivers of Europe will be broadcasted live and the winner will be added to the Hall of Fame on Discord, but everybody is invited to participate in the races! :)



    Leaderboards: compare your times with others
    The leaderboards are available for free so you can set your best lap time and compare your pace with others. Please note, the leaderboard is completely separate from the multiplayer races - entering the leaderboard does not mean you're registered for a multiplayer race!

    The leaderboards are open from Thursday, January 16 - Friday, January 31.

    Multiplayer Race: Register to race on Saturday, February 1
    Everybody who owns at least one eligible car (GT3 + DTM '24 or Mazda DPi) is invited to participated in the Multiplayer Races. You will be placed with drivers with a similar rating and reputation; the higher your rating and reputation, the bigger your chance to get invited to the top server.

    It seems that year after year i get excited about this race only to then realise it takes place at the exact same time as the start phase of the bathurst 12h so theres no way ill take part (although realistically anything above 90 minutes is unrealistic for me anyways :D) or watch much of it.. Still my favorite ranked special event of the year tho just because of the combo :D

    Should we get a confirmation email after registering? I did not get one.

    And what happened to the Discord registration method?

    What if I don't do ranked races because I don't own a lot of content in the game, so I have a very low
    rating and reputation but I'm very fast?

    You will easily win that race, I guess.

    I've enabled the option to receive a confirmation after signing up, but PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that this is NOT a confirmation that your entry is valid: the form is unable to check if your email address is correct in real time. You still have to double check your email address and make sure it's exactly the same as in your RaceRoom profile.

    Then I have to resign. Each time the skybox changes, my screen freezes for about a second.

    Hello,

    Thank you for the information. I'm sure that the email provided in the form is the same as the one used for my RaceRoom profile. What should I do now? Should I fill out the form again, or is the first registration enough? I really don't want to miss the event.

    Thanks for your help!
