24h Daytona: 40 vehicles are expected for 2020

The Roar before the 24 featured 40 racing cars in early January. This test is mandatory for participation in the 24 Hours of Daytona. The field for the great IMSA classic is now largely clear.

The Daytona 24 Hours is the annual season opener for the American IMSA series. In 2020 the classic will take place in East Florida on the weekend of 25/26. January. Before that, the ‘Roar before the 24’ will take place from January 3rd to 5th. This is the official pre-test, which is also mandatory for participation in the race. Accordingly, the Roar Entrylist already allows a conclusion on the starting field for the 24-hour race.

A total of 40 vehicles were registered for the Roar test. If none of these cars were withdrawn, 40 racers would also be at the start during the racing week. As usual, the field is led by the DPi (Daytona Prototype international). Eight of these LMP2 derivatives will be included in 2020. This is a loss compared to 2019, when eleven DPi were still in Daytona.
