24 Hours of Daytona

The 24 Hours of Daytona, also known as the Rolex 24 at Daytona for sponsorship reasons, is a 24-hour sports car endurance race held annually at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. It is run on the Sports Car Course layout, a combined road course that uses most of the tri-oval plus an infield road course. The race has about 60 different cars competing for victory across multiple classes. With multiple drivers “Each team trades shifts between three and five drivers”. The reason behind racers winning a watch is because back then “chronographs were really “tool watches” for those in the racing industry”

Since Rolex's sponsorship, winners also receive a Rolex watch as part of their prize at the end of the race.

Beginnings

Shortly after the track opened, on April 5, 1959, a six-hour/1000 kilometer USAC-FIA sports car race was held on the road course. Count Antonio Von Dory and Roberto Mieres won the race in a Porsche, shortened to due to darkness. The race used a 3.81-mile layout, running clockwise. This event is not considered to be part of the lineage of the eventual 24-hour race.

In 1962, a 3-hour sports car race was introduced. First known as the Daytona Continental, it counted towards the FIA's new International Championship for GT Manufacturers. The first Continental was won by Dan Gurney, driving a 2.7L Coventry Climax-powered Lotus 19.

1966 also saw Suzy Dietrich enter the 24 Hours event, driving a Sunbeam Alpine with Janet Guthrie and Donna Mae Mims. The trio finished 32nd and, along with another women's team in the race, became the first women's teams to finish an international-standard 24-hour race.

After having lost in 1966 at Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans to the Fords, the Ferrari P series prototypes staged a 1–2–3 side-by-side parade finish at the banked finish line in 1967. The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 road car was given the unofficial name Ferrari Daytona in celebration of this victory.

Porsche repeated this show in their 1–2–3 win in the 1968 24 Hours. After the car of Gerhard Mitter had a big crash caused by tire failure in the banking, his teammate Rolf Stommelen supported the car of Vic Elford and Jochen Neerpasch. When the car of the longtime leaders Jo Siffert and Hans Herrmann dropped to second due to a technical problem, these two also joined the new leaders while continuing with their car. So Porsche managed to put 5 of 8 drivers on the center of the podium, plus Jo Schlesser and Joe Buzzetta finishing in third place, with only Mitter being left out.

Lola finished 1–2 in the 1969 24 Hours of Daytona. The winning car was the Penske Lola T70-Chevrolet of Mark Donohue and Chuck Parsons. Few spectators witnessed the achievement as Motor Sport reported: "The Daytona 24-Hour race draws a very small crowd, as can be seen from the empty stands in the background."

1970 saw the race with drivers strapped into their cars, and at the start, drove away. Since 1971, races begin with rolling starts. In 1972, the rules changed, limiting cars to only 3.0 liters instead of the previous 5.0 liters and made a weight limit for cars as well. This caused Porsche to back out of the series for that year leading to a Ferrari victory. The Sports Car Club of America sanctioning was replaced by the International Motor Sports Association in 1975.

In 1982 the race continued on as part of the IMSA GT Championship instead of WSC.

In 1989, the race was delayed due to fog for four hours. This was the longest time the race was paused due to fog.

After several ownership changes at IMSA which changed the direction the organization followed, it was decided by the 1990s that the Daytona event would align with the Grand-Am series, a competitor of the American Le Mans Series, which, as its name implies, uses the same regulations as the Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Grand Am series, though, is instead closely linked to NASCAR and the original ideas of IMSA and focused on controlled costs and close competition.

In order to make sports car racing less expensive than elsewhere, new rules were introduced in 2002. The dedicated Daytona Prototypes (DP) used less expensive materials and technologies and the car's simple aerodynamics reduce the development and testing costs. The DPs began racing in 2003 with six cars in the race.

Specialist chassis makers like Riley, Dallara, and Lola provided the DP cars for the teams and the engines are branded under the names of major car companies like Cadillac, Lexus, Ford, BMW, and Porsche.

2017 saw the introduction of the DPi prototypes. These cars were based on LMP2 chassis with a custom engine and bodywork from a major manufacturer.

For 2023, the race adopted the LMDh prototype specification, although Le Mans Hypercars were also permitted. The series has also returned to the Grand Touring Prototype name from the 1980s.

In 2023, the first hybrid car, an Acura ARX-06, won the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona. This would be the first hybrid car to ever win the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona. With these new hybrid cars, the IMSA has set regulations and even penalties if teams using these engines break these rules. In order to ensure they don't break the rules they have monitors that monitor the total energy being used by the car. A single GTLM car, the Corvette C8.R, was also permitted to compete in the class with its performance adjusted to the GTD cars.

IMSA adapted its current structuring of the class in the 2022 season. These changes split the GT Daytona class into GTD and GTD PRO. Both GTD classes use identical cars built to the FIA GT3 technical regulations. The only difference is that GTD requires one amateur driver (with an FIA silver or bronze rating) while driver selection is open in GTD PRO.
