The top category in Grand-Am Road Racing and the undisputed stars of the Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Special Reserve, Daytona Prototypes are exotic, mid-engine machines that are purpose-built strictly for competition on the track. Low to the ground and capable of speeds in excess of 185 mph, Daytona Prototypes also feature the latest in safety technology, including carbon fiber side impact panels and a multi-point roll cage with a unique center post at mid-windshield.
Daytona Prototypes are produced to similar specifications by eight approved constructors--Riley Technologies, Doran Designs, Crawford Race Cars, Fabcar Engineering, Chase Competition Engineering, Picchio, Multimatic and Sabre. Although each chassis is independently designed and manufactured, competitor modifications are highly limited by Grand-Am rules and certain parts--including series-standard rear wings--are mandated by the series. Michael Shank Racing utilizes a Roush Yates supplied powerplant teamed to a five-speed transmission to power the 2,300-lbs. Daytona Prototype.
