The 24 Hours of Daytona, also called the Rolex 24 At Daytona, is a super long sports car race. It lasts for 24 hours straight! This exciting endurance race happens every year at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Drivers race on a special track called the Sports Car Course. It's about 3.56 miles (5.73 km) long. This track uses most of the big oval track plus a twisty road course inside. The race is usually held in late January or early February. It's the first big car race of the year in North America. IMSA is the group that organizes the race. It's also the first race of the IMSA SportsCar Championship season.
The race has had different names because of sponsors. Since 1992, Rolex Watch Company has been the main sponsor. Before that, Sunbank and Pepsi were sponsors. Winning drivers in all car classes get a special Rolex Daytona watch. This race is one of the "Triple Crown of endurance racing." The other two big races are the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 12 Hours of Sebring.

How the Race Started
The Daytona International Speedway opened in 1959. On April 5, 1959, a six-hour sports car race was held there. It was won by Count Antonio Von Dory and Roberto Mieres in a Porsche. This early race was not a 24-hour event.
First Daytona Continental Race
In 1962, a new 3-hour sports car race began. It was called the Daytona Continental. This race was part of the FIA's new championship for GT cars. Dan Gurney won the first Continental race. He drove a Lotus 19 car.
In the past, a car had to cross the finish line after 24 hours to be counted. This led to exciting moments! Sometimes, damaged cars would wait near the finish line for hours. Then, they would start their engines and slowly cross the line right after 24 hours. This way, they would be listed as finishing the race.
A famous example happened in the 1962 Daytona Continental. Dan Gurney's Lotus 19 was far ahead, but its engine broke just minutes before the end. Gurney stopped his car on a high bank, just before the finish line. When the three hours were up, he turned the steering wheel. Gravity pulled his car across the line, and he won! Because of this, a new rule was made. Now, cars must cross the finish line using their own power to be counted.
Making it Longer
In 1964, the race became much longer, covering 2000 kilometers (1243 miles). This was twice as long as other famous races like those at Nürburgring. It was also similar in length to the 12 Hours of Sebring race in Florida. Then, in 1966, the Daytona race was extended to a full 24 hours, just like the Le Mans race.
24-Hour Race History
The first 24-hour race in 1966 was won by Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby. They drove a Ford Mk. II. That same year, Suzy Dietrich and her team became the first women to finish an international 24-hour race.
In 1967, Ferrari P cars made a famous 1-2-3 finish. They drove side-by-side across the finish line. Because of this win, the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 road car was nicknamed "Ferrari Daytona."
Porsche did a similar 1-2-3 finish in 1968. Their drivers worked together to help each other's cars finish. This allowed five of their eight drivers to stand on the winner's podium!
In 1969, Lola cars finished first and second. The winning car was a Lola T70-Chevrolet. Not many people were there to see it, though.
From 1971 onwards, races started with "rolling starts." This means cars drive slowly in a line before the race officially begins. Before that, drivers had to run to their cars and strap in at the start.
In 1972, the race was shortened to six hours due to new rules. The 1974 race was even canceled because of an energy crisis. In 1975, the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) took over organizing the race.
Drivers in the Race
In the 1970s, teams usually had three drivers. Today, most teams have four drivers because the race is so long. In the top classes, all four drivers are usually professionals. In other classes, some drivers are "amateur drivers." These are people who have successful jobs outside of racing. They must drive for a certain number of hours. Often, the fourth driver is a famous professional racer who only joins for Daytona. Some examples include Scott Dixon, Jeff Gordon, Fernando Alonso, and Kyle Busch.
Unlike the Le Mans race, the Daytona race happens entirely on the speedway track. No public streets are used. The track has bright lights for night racing. However, the inner part of the track is not as bright as the main oval.
GTP Race Cars
In the 1990s, the Daytona race joined the Grand-Am series. This series was linked to NASCAR. It focused on keeping costs low and making races exciting.
New rules were made in 2002 to make sports car racing cheaper. Special cars called Daytona Prototypes (DP) were created. They use less expensive materials and simpler designs. This helps teams save money on building and testing cars. DP cars started racing in 2003.
Companies like Riley, Dallara, and Lola build the DP cars. Engines are made by big car companies like Cadillac, Lexus, Ford, BMW, and Porsche.
In 2017, new DPi prototypes were introduced. These cars were based on other race car designs but had custom engines and bodywork from major car makers.
For 2023, the race started using LMDh prototype cars. Other fast cars called Le Mans Hypercars were also allowed. The top class is now called Grand Touring Prototype (GTP), like it was in the 1980s.
GT Daytona Race Cars
The GT class cars at Daytona are more like regular road cars. They are similar to GT3 class cars used in other races. For example, the Porsche 996 Cup version is used, not the more advanced racing versions. Recent GT cars include BMW M3s, Porsche 911s, Chevy Camaros, and Ferrari F430 Challenges. The Audi R8 and Ferrari 458 Italia first raced in 2012.
From 2014, the GT Daytona class only used Group GT3 cars. Another class, GTLM, used LM GTE cars. In 2022, GTLM was replaced by GTD Pro. This class uses the same cars as GTD.
GX Class
The GX class only raced in 2013. Six cars started in this event. The class included special Porsche Cayman S and Mazda 6 racecars. Mazda also brought their first diesel racecar, which was the first time a diesel fuel car started at the Daytona 24. The Porsche Caymans were very strong in this race. All three Mazda cars had engine problems and had to stop. The #16 Napleton Porsche Cayman won the GX class by a large lead.
