The Rolex 24 at Daytona is back for its 62nd annual event, promising 24 hours of non-stop racing action. The event, which serves as the marathon start to the IMSA calendar, will see 59 teams vying for victory at the Daytona International Speedway in Florida.

Notably, fans will be keeping an eye out for Hollywood star Brad Pitt, as an F1 movie featuring the actor has been filming in the vicinity of the track and the Daytona Beach area throughout the week.

Last year, Helio Castroneves secured his third consecutive Rolex 24 title with Meyer Shank Racing’s Acura team. Tom Blomqvist also clinched his second straight title, setting the stage for an exciting showdown as they aim to continue their winning streak.

Adding to the excitement, this year’s field features a record number of nine women drivers, including the all-female Iron Dames team, marking the most significant female presence in the history of the Rolex 24.
