The Rolex 24: A Quick Guide to Daytona's Longest Race

2026-01-12

The Rolex 24 At Daytona kicks off the IMSA season every January. Teams of 2 to 4 drivers share a single car and race around the clock on a combination of the famous Daytona banking and an infield road course.

Car Classes

GTP prototypes are the fastest. LMP2 cars are the spec class. GTD Pro and GTD are the production-based sports cars. Each class races for its own podium.

Why It Matters

Winning the Rolex 24 earns you a Rolex Daytona watch. More importantly, it earns you a place in the history of one of the most grueling races in motorsport. Rain, darkness, and fatigue test everyone.
