The most anticipated Rolex 24 at Daytona in years proved that despite seismic shifts in the sportscar landscape, some things will always stay the same as Acura took the overall win for the third year in succession.

Featuring the debut of the Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) class, IMSA’s answer to WEC’s Hypercars – which will race together from here on in – the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship’s season-opener was one of the most hotly anticipated since the amalgamation of Grand Am and the American Le Mans Series exactly 10 years ago.

It wasn’t just the new top class which brought excitement, with LMP2 featuring one of the closest margins of victory at Daytona, while GTD and GTD Pro showcased the best of GT3 racing.
