For the first time in three years, there were multiple chassis manufacturers competing against each other in the LMP2 class
The 2024 Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona featured 59 entries and over 200 drivers competing for victory. The event drew a record-setting crowd and provided exciting racing throughout the endurance event. For the first time in three years, each of the four classes featured chassis from multiple manufacturers. The GTP class was dominated by factory-led efforts, while the LMP2 class saw a Ligier JS P217 chassis from Sean Creech Motorsport compete against the established Oreca 07. The decision to move up to LMP2 was made after LMP3 was removed from IMSA’s top-tier lineup, and the team chose Ligier over Oreca due to past experiences and support.
