2022 24 Hours of Daytona

The 2022 24 Hours of Daytona (formally the 2022 Rolex 24 at Daytona) was an endurance sports car race sanctioned by the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). The event was held at Daytona International Speedway combined road course in Daytona Beach, Florida, on January 29–30, 2022. This event was the 60th running of the 24 Hours of Daytona since its inception in 1962, and the first of 12 races across multiple classes in the 2022 IMSA SportsCar Championship, as well as the first of four rounds in the 2022 Michelin Endurance Cup. The #60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura, driven by Tom Blomqvist, Hélio Castroneves, Oliver Jarvis, Simon Pagenaud, took the overall win in one of the most competitive events in race history. The top four overall finishers led for at least 88 laps each. Despite being fourth with around three hours left in the race, a monster stretch from Blomqvist helped his team assume the lead before giving way to Castroneves. Castroneves held off former teammate and two-time champion Ricky Taylor to win his second Rolex 24 in a row. The final margin of 3.028 seconds was the third closest in race history. It was also Meyer Shank Racing's first win in IMSA since 2020.[1]

Background edit

 
Daytona International Speedway, where the race was held

NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., who built Daytona International Speedway in 1959, conceived of the 24 Hours of Daytona to attract European sports-car endurance racing to the United States and provide international exposure to the speedway.[2] It is informally considered part of the Triple Crown of Endurance Racing, with the 12 Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.[3]

International Motor Sports Association's (IMSA) president John Doonan confirmed the race was part of the schedule for the 2022 IMSA SportsCar Championship (IMSA SCC) in August 2021. It was the ninth consecutive year it was part of the IMSA SCC, and 60th 24 Hours of Daytona.[4] The 24 Hours of Daytona was the first of twelve scheduled sports car endurance races of 2022 by IMSA, and the first of four races of the Michelin Endurance Cup (MEC).[5] It took place at the 12-turn, 3.56-mile (5.73 km) Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida from January 29 to 30.[6]

Entries edit

 
Wayne Taylor Racing (pictured during practice for the 2021 Petit Le Mans) entered the 2022 24 Hours of Daytona as the defending race winners, having won the 24-hour race in the prior three editions -- 2021, 2020, and 2019.

The list of entries for the 24-hour race consisted of 61 cars across five classes, the largest field for the 24 Hours of Daytona since the inception of the IMSA SportsCar Championship in 2014. There were seven entries in Daytona Prototype International (DPi), 10 entries in Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2), nine entries in LMP3, and 35 entries across both GT Daytona classes, with 12 entered in GTD Pro, and 23 entered in GTD.[7]

After the demise of the GT Le Mans (GTLM) class at the end of the 2021 Season, the International Motor Sports Association replaced the class with an all-pro version of the existing GT Daytona (GTD) class, known as GTD-Pro. The class would run under the same balance of performance restrictions as the existing GTD class, after the two classes had their regulations aligned in August 2021.[8][9] The aligned Balance of Performance and sporting regulations was a key factor in the record 35 car field, helping to drum up major interest in an all-pro version of an already popular class.

Two of the drivers who won the 2021 24 Hours of Le Mans overall, Kamui Kobayashi (pictured in 2011) and José María López (pictured in 2014), took part in the race with an Action Express Racing-entered Cadillac DPi-V.R.

In the Daytona Prototype International class, Chip Ganassi Racing expanded to a two-car full-season Cadillac operation, after just running a single car for 2021. Action Express Racing continued to run an extra car for the race, with Toyota Gazoo Racing driver José María López in place of Meyer-Shank Racing-bound Simon Pagenaud.[10] Mazda Motorsports withdrew after the 2021 season had drawn to a close, leaving only two brands in the class, Cadillac and Acura. This edition of the Daytona is also set to be the final one to include the DPi class before the introduction of LMDh for 2023.

 
Corvette Racing moved to the new GTD Pro class with a de-tuned version of their Chevrolet Corvette C8.R.

After the demise of GTLM, Corvette Racing and BMW Team RLL moved to the GTD Pro class. The former de-tuned their designed-for-GTLM Chevrolet Corvette C8.R to GT3 specification, whilst the latter entered the class with the brand-new BMW M4 GT3. Both organizations have one full-season team and one extra car for Endurance races.
