IMSA: Rolex 24 Pre-Race test Entry List
A capacity field of 61 cars will this weekend take part in the Roar Before the 24 at Daytona ahead of next weekend’s Rolex 24 IMSA race.
The event concludes with Qualifying sessions for each class on Sunday, with no sprint race as there has been in previous years.
It does however determine the starting order for next weekend’s Daytona 24 Hours, practice for which kicks off on January 26, and the race itself two days later.
