Sunoco Daytona Challenge paves the way for a second tier!

Now in its third year the race to win the Sunoco Daytona Challenge is well underway and with the Challenge set to coincide with the Rolex 24 At Daytona 50^th anniversary it really is a once in a lifetime opportunity and the chance to take part in landmark event.

To give more racers the opportunity to race at Daytona we are now launching the Sunoco GRAND-AM 200 Challenge where the ultimate prize is a race-seat in the Continental Series GS class in the GRAND-AM 200 race at the same race weekend as the Rolex 24. As the name implies this is a 200 mile race and driver changes are compulsory. The race is being held on the Friday before the Rolex 24 so it comes with all the razzmatazz of the Rolex race.

Included in the prize is travel, hotel and the cost of the seat so the only thing that the winner has to do is to bring his helmet and overall. The driver who wins the challenge will gain the full American experience and be racing in an American muscle car such as a V8 powered Chevrolet Camero.

Series that are eligible for the Sunoco GRAND-AM 200 Challenge are: Britcar Production GTN, Legend 600, Mini Challenge, MSV F3 Cup, GT Cup and the Dunlop Production Touring Car Trophy. We estimate a total of 175 drivers to take part.

The points are awarded exactly as per the Sunoco Daytona Challenge meaning that the racer gets points for pole position, fastest lap and race result. Due to the different number of races per series in a year all points are divided by the number of races in the year in the respective series to create a fair average point per race score. Points are awarded as follows:
