DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.—IMSA held another two-day test at Daytona International Speedway, Dec. 13–14, for cars planning to compete in 2017’s WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. About two dozen teams brought some thirty cars representing every class but Prototype Challenge.
Action Express, Wayne Taylor Racing, VisitFlorida Racing, and Mazda Motorsports brought brand new Prototypes. Risi Competitizione, Corvette Racing, Ford/Ganassi, BMW Team RLL, and Porsche brought GT Le Mans cars, and a host of new and old teams brought a range of GTDs.
Naturally the prototypes were the stars of the show: four new Daytona Prototype International cars and one LMP2, representing most of the models which will lead the field throughout the 2017 season.
