TRAC Series & Classes
Find out more about the TRAC series championships and car classes.
Series’
TRAC currently holds races in three distinct series, each with their own championship at the end of the season.
There are plans to add a fourth series.
Sprint Series’
There are two sprint series’, with 15 lap races. During each race weekend, there are multiple races in each of these series contributing to the overall results.
Endurance Series
A 1-hour Endurance race held during each race weekend contributes to an endurance championship each season. This year, this is the Pit Lane Sim Racing 1-Hour Enduro.
Car Classes
TRAC Series’ numerous classes include a large variation of racing cars. During any given event, you may find cars such as Nascar/Prostock based “GT-1” cars, European Sports Cars, and Japanese Imports, among many other flavours of dedicated racing cars.
Our power to weight-based classing structure ensures that any racing car that meets our strict technical and safety rules is certain to fall into one of our highly competitive classes.
PWR Class – Power to Weight Ratio
Cars are put into one of six PWR classes, as seen below, based on their measured power to weight ratio (pounds per wheel horsepower).
- PWR 1 – Less than 7
- PWR 2 – Greater than or equal to 7 and less than 10
- PWR 3 – Greater than or equal to 10 and less than 14
- PWR 4 – Greater than or equal to 14 and less than 18
- PWR 5 – Greater than or equal to 18 and less than 21
- PWR 6 – Greater than or equal to 21
There are several additional factors used to calculate a final PWR score in order to decide which class a car chall compete in. These are called modifiers.
Modifiers are either a handicap or a benefit to the final PWR number. Modifiers are applied for a few main items on a car; aerodynamic improvements, upgraded brakes, chassis type, transmission type, and tire type.
