YOu have to meow before you roar!
We love the iRacing ROAR, so we figured you'd love the FRS Meow Before Roar - frenetic heat races around the tiny Daytona Short config, formed by the infield loop at the Daytona International Speedway! This race features the same cars as the Roar i.e. LMP3/GT4/TCR. This 40-car grid is set for some insane close-quarters multiclass action that turns the dial to 11 with short heats & open qualifying keeping drivers on their toes. Come join in the fun on Twitch too as we'll also be hosting a casual broadcast :)

CUSTOM LIVERIES
We love to see custom paints used in our races! To this end we advice for drivers/teams to use liveries from
Trading Paints or upload their own on there since our broadcast will be using TP as well - do sort out your liveries through this tool if you wish to see your car's paint on the stream. Naturally, as this is iRacing, we urge people to abide by the iRacing rules and not pick paints that fall foul of them (i.e. nsfw/offensive/politically charged liveries). We reserve the right to remove offending teams from the race if need be.
