The Daytona 24 Hours is the first big circuit race of the year and always attracts a star-studded cast list of both drivers and cars in addition to the regular competitiors in the IMSA SportsCar Championship.
At this year's race, a lot of eyes will be on Ford's new GT car as it makes its competition debut but there's also plenty of intrigue across the GT divisions and for the likely battle between the Daytona Prototypes and P2 class cars for overall glory. A qualifying session that was held in worsening conditions has also added another dimension.
