IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship teams are preparing for the upcoming 2024 season through private testing, but they will gather at Daytona International Speedway for a four-day IMSA homologation test. This test will allow the sanctioning body to evaluate car performance and make any necessary Balance of Performance adjustments, especially with the new GT3 cars from Ford and Chevrolet. It is crucial for teams as they prepare for the Rolex 24 At Daytona and the rest of the season. The Grand Touring Prototype teams can build upon their knowledge from the previous season and try new approaches. Last year, the focus was on figuring out how to run the new LMDh-specification cars, but now teams can focus on optimizing performance. Cadillac Racing, the 2023 GTP title winners, will be among the teams participating in the testing, with drivers like Sebastien Bourdais looking to improve their understanding of the car and fine-tune performance.
