2016 Rolex 24 at Daytona

It is that time of year again, 24 hours on the banking of Daytona. This race has produced some close finishes over the years (thanks to the yellow flag procedure), and this year's event will likely be more of the same. Lots of new GT cars making their series debut and there are a few additional Prototypes to contend for the overall victory. Will the Ligiers, Mazdas, or BR01 be able to knock off a DP? Will the DeltaWing be able to last?

The race begins at 2:40pm local track time on Saturday 30 January.

Looking forward to my first visit to Daytona.

About the race, I agree, it will be all about timing of the cautions I think. Last year was better than 2014 in the sense there was an actual reason for the final yellow.

Actually, the Caution Clock has just been announced for Nascar Trucks- IMSA next?

Yay! Race thread.


Thanks for updating the links . I'm sure we'll have some for the "official, not available for all and not for the full 24" stream?

Enjoy! The first time you drive through the tunnel and are inside the bowl it's pretty awe-inspiring.

So 40 minutes of the 2 hours we get on FS1 is before the race.

That is pretty neat. However, out of Indy, Daytona and Sebring, I got more chills seeing the front stretch / pit area at Sebring. All three are kickass, in their own way.

Enjoy, fergus.

Leaving next Thursday morning.

It'll be so nice to attend another race and not have to deal with the usual crap posters until I get home.

You can always use tapatalk. That way you can post pictures and personal experiences at the track, that'll make me jealous and mad.

It didn't work for the last race I went to; nobody was jealous of us camping at PLM.

*fingers crossed for good weather for you and others in attendance*

I will most likely be far too inebriated to work a phone to be honest.

Racecars and alcohol are a match made in heaven.

I'm hoping for good weather as well, although I'll take rain over the single digit temperatures I'm dealing with currently.

IMSA does not need a "Race for the Chase for the Quest for the Cup for the Thing". Wow I just read an article about that whole NASCAR Trucks thing. And it makes you want to bang your head. How about you just have a 10 minute race be done with it.

Lets do this thing right. 24 hours and make that time meaningful without artificial ways to close gaps. I miss the days when a car won the Daytona 24 by 10-20 laps. Does anybody else feel the same way?

I rather have car winning race by 100 laps on merit, than by 0,00001 seconds on manufactured tricks.

And in case someone didn't get my Chase suggestion, obviously it was a joke.

Btw what is the catchy background song RLM uses for that Chase for the Quest -- roundup? I doubt it's their own jingle.

I don't particularly enjoy seeing such dominance but I fully agree against the artificialities or better said:

Daytona is not a downforce track, nevertheless, it will be interesting to see if the new GTs can improve the last year's times

With all the talk about full course yellows keep in mind that with ABS/TC now, the GT cars will be much easier to drive. There could be less crashes among them. I feel LMPC will cause much of the FCYs still. There are 8 of them in the field. 8 too many. Hopefully it will be all in the first 4 hours so we can get them out of the race or at least calmed down and we can have a clean race from there.

And they have none of the proposed upgrades. At least, they didn't at the test.

I think they got the transmission upgrades for reliability but the ABS and TC are saved for Sebring - in other words - the reverse of the order we'd like to improve the 24.

PC isn't getting ABS at all. For Sebring they're scheduled to get a basic TC and lightening of some engine components which will help the balance of the car (it wasn't designed to have as much rear weight bias as it's had the last few seasons).

Of course, based on the history of those involved there probably won't be any real testing of the changes and none of the cars with the upgrades will finish Sebring. :-)

You would think teams would go to the official test at Sebring in February with the upgrades. I guess that costs money though.

I noticed that and hope that it's good news. In the past, entry list have occasionally been delayed by the need for press releases for late entries.
