The fifth round of the 2024 schedule will feature a 1-hour and 40-minute race on the streets of Detroit, marking the second time this year with this race duration.

The #6 Porsche Penske 963 duo of Nick Tandy and Mathieu Jaminet will aim to defend their victory from the previous race. In the GTD Pro category, 11 cars will compete with a lineup of professional and factory drivers, including the #15 Lexus entered solely for this race by Vasser Sullivan. Reigning GTD Pro champions Jack Hawksworth and Ben Barnicoat will pilot the #14 and intend to secure both the win and the championship lead. With just 56 points separating them from the current leaders, the competition promises to be intense at the race on June 1st at 8.05pm BST.
