DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.—Five teams brought GT Le Mans cars to IMSA’s two-day test at Daytona International Speedway, Dec. 13–14.

Corvette Racing brought its pair of C7.Rs, and Ford/Chip Ganassi racing brought two of the four Ford GTs which will represent the team at the Rolex 24. Risi Competizione brought its Ferrari 488, and BMW team RLL brought one of its two M6 GTLMs. Porsche GT Team brought both its new mid-engined 911 RSRs.

Lap times don’t mean much at a test session. Even well-developed cars like the Corvettes and the Ford GTs were running over a second off of race pace.
