DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship has solidified and updated the entry list for the Roar Before the Rolex 24 test at Daytona Intl Speedway, building on what was revealed in mid-December 2024.

The same 61 cars announced are confirmed for the mandatory three-day test, where all four WeatherTech Championship classes gain key track time and learning to prepare for the 63rd Rolex 24 At Daytona, January 23-26. While most lineups are confirmed, a handful of teams are yet to reveal their finalized lineups.

In a change from recent years, the Roar test features just practice sessions for WeatherTech Championship competitors as qualifying for the Rolex 24 shifts to Thursday of race weekend, January 23. As the Roar is a test only, times are unofficial and do not count towards track records if they were to go quicker than existing records.

All four classes are active over two sessions Friday, January 17, three sessions Saturday, January 18 and a morning session Sunday, January 19. The seventh and final session of the weekend on Sunday afternoon is reserved for Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2) and Grand Touring Daytona (GTD) Bronze-rated drivers only.

Quick fast facts for the Rolex 24 At Daytona are below:

Storylines

• Star Alignment: The usual bevy of extra Rolex 24 drivers boasting experience from Formula 1, NASCAR and IndyCar join the wealth of international sports car stars the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship fields on a full season basis. Some of the extras this year include Scott Dixon, Alex Palou, Romain Grosjean, Kevin Magnussen, Colton Herta, Felipe Massa, Scott McLaughlin, Shane van Gisbergen, Connor Zilisch, Austin Cindric, James Hinchcliffe and Parker Kligerman.
• From Timepieces to Titles: Porsche Penske Motorsport (Grand Touring Prototype, GTP) and Winward Racing (Grand Touring Daytona, GTD) kicked off 2024 with Rolex 24 victories and the Rolex custom timepiece that went with it. Nine months later, their opening round success propelled them to season-long WeatherTech Championship titles.
• Reshuffled GTP Grid: All 12 GTP cars spread among Acura, BMW, Cadillac, Lamborghini and Porsche have some degree of difference to kick off the 2025 season after ending 2024, whether in drivers, team names or manufacturers or in some cases, all of the above.
• Deep GTD PRO/GTD Fields: A 15-car Grand Touring Daytona Pro (GTD PRO) class field sets the record for the greatest number of cars in the category, ahead of its fourth season. Additionally, 22 cars in GTD bring the combined number of GT cars up to 37. Entries come from Aston Martin, BMW, Chevrolet, Ferrari, Ford, Lamborghini, Lexus, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche.
• Fresh Blend in LMP2: In two cases, GTPs loss is a gain for Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2) with Dane Cameron (No. 99 AO Racing ORECA LMP2 07) and Sebastien Bourdais (No. 8 Tower Motorsport ORECA LMP2 07) joining an already stacked 12-car class.
• Lallys Last (Full-Time) Laps: The most successful active Rolex 24 race winner anticipated to race this year, Andy Lally, is set for his last race before retiring from full-time driving. Sharing the No. 44 Magnus Racing Aston Martin Vantage GT3 EVO in GTD, Lally has won five Rolex 24 races and is set for his 23rd consecutive start in the race this year.

With most of the field confirmed, there will be more than 50 Rolex 24 winners, more than 50 IMSA champions and more than 40 24 Hours of Le Mans winners in this years field, with potentially more in each category to come.
