The full 61-car entry list for 60th Rolex 24 at Daytona

The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship entry list for the 60th Rolex 24 at Daytona features 61 cars – the most since 2014.

The Roar Before the Rolex 24 from Jan. 21-23 saw two days of on-track testing around Daytona’s 3.56-mile road course, followed by a 100-minute qualifying race on the Sunday. That resulted in the saw the Wayne Taylor Racing Acura ARX-05, driven by Ricky Taylor and Filipe Albuquerque barely holding off the Tristan Vautier/Richard Westbrook-piloted JDC Miller MotorSports Cadillac DPi-V.R at the checkered flag.

That earned the WTR car pole position for the final Rolex 24 to be held under Daytona Prototype international regulations. The top class’s car count has remained the same as in 2021 at seven entries, with a second full-time Chip Ganassi Racing-run Cadillac helping to make up for the loss of the Mazda RT24-P. In LMP2 also, the field has again remained the same as per last year, with 10 entries, including two from G-Drive Racing by APR.

The second season of LMP3 cars being part of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship sees the field grow from six to nine cars. 

But inevitably the big news comes with the debut of the GTD Pro class – GT3-spec cars with all-pro driver line-ups – to replace the now obsolete GT Le Mans division, with 13 entries from eight manufacturers. For the only time this year in IMSA, both Corvette C8.Rs will be present, before Nick Tandy and Tommy Milner head off to the FIA World Endurance Championship with the #4 car.

The Rahal Letterman Lanigan BMW team that won the 2019 and 2020 Rolex 24 Hours in GTLM returns but with new BMW M4s to replace the sleek M8s of recent years, while WeatherTech Racing sponsors three cars from two manufacturers – Porsche and Mercedes-Benz.

GTD features cars of the same GT3 spec as GTD Pro, and with the same balance of performance, but with pro-am line-ups, and in this class there are 22 cars from nine manufacturers.

There are two more practice sessions - Thursday evening and Friday morning – while the round-the-clock classic runs from 1.40pm on Saturday through to 1.40pm on Sunday. 

IMSA president John Doonan commented: “The racing world turns its eyes to the Rolex 24 every year since it typically kicks off the season for everyone in the industry and draws such an immense amount of international driver and team talent together. That’s even truer in 2022 with more cars on the grid than we’ve seen at Daytona in the last eight years.

“It shows that the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and sports car racing around the world continues to grow and thrive. We’re very excited for what should be a memorable 60th Rolex 24 at Daytona and the season ahead.”

The grid line-up will not be published until late Saturday morning, but below is the full entry list. 

NBC Sports has complete race coverage beginning on NBC network at 1.30pm ET Saturday. Stints will follow on USA network (4.00-7.00pm Saturday; 10.00pm Saturday - 3.00am Sunday; 6am - 12 noon Sunday) before returning to NBC for the conclusion from noon-2.00pm Sunday.
 
Peacock, IMSA’s livestream home, has flag-to-flag coverage of all 24 hours in the U.S. The international livestream is available in most countries outside the U.S. at IMSA.com/TVLive. IMSA Radio also has complete coverage beginning at 12.30pm Saturday.
