IMSA has released the initial Balance of Performance table for the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season, which will be effective during the Roar Before the 24 event. The weights, restrictors, and fuel cell capacities listed will be used during the test sessions and qualifying for the Rolex 24 At Daytona, but adjustments can still be made before the race. The GTP class cars will have varying weight and power ratings for the upcoming season – the Acura ARX-06 being the heaviest at 1072kg and the Cadillac V-Series the lightest. The Ligier JS P217 will be treated the same as the ORECA in LMP2 competition. IMSA introduced a new Balance of Performance testing procedure in December, aiming to provide equal opportunities for all GT3 cars at Daytona. Three new cars, including the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R, Ford Mustang GT3, and Aston Martin Vantage evo, will join the GTD and GTD PRO ranks in 2024. Testing for the Roar Before the 24 will commence on January 19th.
