DAYTONA, Fla.—After an inaugural season marked by some triumphs and a lot of complaints and an off-season which saw some teams depart or cut back in favor of other series, the Tudor United SporstCar Championship is kicking off 2015 with the Roar before the Rolex 24, the old Rolex Series’ traditional three-day test at Daytona International Speedway.
The Roar gives teams a chance to test new drivers and new or updated cars, gives the series a chance to see how between-season rules changes play out on track, and gives fans, teams, and series officials alike a taste of what the season-opening Rolex 24 might be like.
While TUSC is a four-class series, its real appeal lie in the two all-pro classes, Prototypes and GT-Le Mans. While there is often excellent racing in prototype Challenge and GT-Daytona, the big teams and top drivers generally run P and GTLM, and the fans—and sponsors—tend to focus here too.
