Understanding the Concept of Multiclass Racing

Back to: Multiclass Racing

Multiclass racing involves multiple categories of cars competing simultaneously on the same track. Unlike single-class racing, where all cars have similar performance, multiclass racing requires managing speed differentials, traffic, and strategy.

• Key Features of Multiclass Racing:
  • Two or more classes of cars running together.
  • Faster classes must navigate through slower traffic.
  • Drivers must be aware of both attacking and defending against different class cars.
  • Requires strategic thinking beyond just raw pace.

📌 Example: In a race with GT3 and GT4 cars, GT3 cars are significantly faster in acceleration and braking, while GT4 cars may have better mechanical grip but lack downforce. GT3 drivers must plan overtakes carefully, and GT4 drivers need to be predictable when being passed.
