On February 25th, the FFRL will host its third "Daytona 500". Created and shaped by the FFRL community, the Daytona 500 is geared to be the "Great FFRL Race" with a full field of drivers running 200 laps.

The "Daytona 500" is open to all drivers currently active and racing in ANY league.

Based on the number of applicants signed up for this special event, the "Gatorade Duels" will take place on the same day of the event. Two races consisting of 23 laps. The first race and qualifying will begin at 11:30 AM EST while the second race will start approximately 1:30 PM EST. If more than 40 drivers have signed up for this event, the "Duels" are used to set the grid for the race.  The top 20 of each "Duel" will move forward to the main event with 2 of each "Duel" on reserve in the off chance a driver does not show up.  Drivers competing in the "Duel 1" will line up the inside of the main event while the drivers in "Duel 2" will hold the outside.  If 40 or less drivers sign up, the 'Duels" will not take place as everyone is guaranteed a slot in the main event. 

The main page of this website will hold the roster lineup so you, upon visiting the site, will know if the "Duels" are to take place.  On your registration, we request that you state which "Duel" you wish to participate in.  Slots are chosen as a first come, first serve basis.  If more are favored in the "Duel 2" event, the maximum permitted will be 40.  In the case that an uneven amount of entries are used (example: 20 in Duel 1, and 40 in Duel 2), a rate of 1.5 will be used making (20 in Duel 1) the top 13 eligible and (40 in Duel 2) the top 27 eligible.

The "Daytona 500" qualifying will take place, starting with official practice, at 3:30 pm EST.  ALL drivers are required to be logged in by 4:15 pm EST to allow "reserved" entries to be called if necessary. The 100% race will approximately be 2.5 to 3 hours long.

Sign Ups - See below for signup application

FILES - Upon activation, you will receive an email from the FFRL Administration with file links to the Mod, Track, and RFM.  Current FFRL Members can get those links at our download section of the website.

Rules - All rules governed by the FFRL will be applied.  Those who are not currently active in the FFRL should read and review the rules before attending the race.  Infractions of the rules will result in the driver being immediately dismissed with/without reason.  All drivers are required to connect to the FFRL Teamspeak server.  ANY driver using offensive language will be immediately ejected.

Winning Prize - For 11 years, the FFRL hands out a small award for the special events that take place.  But also with the sponsorship from "North West Service Centre" in Ontario, Canada, a $250 grand prize will be awarded to the winner of the Daytona 500.
