Why do the daytona prototype cars and gt cars run at the same time? and whats the difference? im new to this.?

May be...

there are two championships being run in 1 race...like 2 races in 1... the prototype cars have bigger and faster engines... bigger tyres and brakes than the GT cars...

so dont get confused... there are reallly two races going on at the same time... actually makes for a more exciting race ( for the drivers and the audience ) because a lot is going on...

Good luck and happy viewing !

Can't tell you definitively, but during broadcasts, you'll hear the talent talking about the excitement of having different classes running at the same time. More overtaking - and sometimes at breakneck speeds. Very exciting. Also, on a crowded circuit, it can become part of a strategy to get through traffic while tying up the car behind you in traffic, so he can't catch and overtake you.

The P-1 and P-2 (which I think P-2 is going away next year) are the "prototype cars." GT-1 and GT-2 are the Gran Touring 'Sedans.' If you'd like to know more, I have something here, especially for you. Check it out:

Everything you always wanted to know about sports cars but were afraid to ask.

In Europe and the rest of the world, this venue is known as the LeMans Series. In the States, the comparably spec'd cars race in the American LeMans Series. The two venues team up at LeMans every summer and often in Daytona in January.

Difference? After you see the above link you'll know. But just to expand ever so slightly, the Prototypes gooo l i k e h e l l..... while the GTs really gooo...

Claro?
