Lots of driver announcements are rolling out today ahead of the series releasing the Rolex 24 entries tomorrow.

Notably, the new Pratt Miller Corvettes are retaining the old factory yellow livery with some black accents via Oshkosh.

Honestly like the black, they look mean.

This quintet is insane!

Westy is replacing Rocky at JDC-Miller. Westy was dropped from the CGR program:


Timjen and Richard will be full-time. Hanson will be a MEC driver and Ben Keating will be driving for them for the Rolex 24.

Ben Keating doing Ben Keating sh*t.

Keating is doing LMP2 with United as well so he must be pulling double duty at the Rolex again.

Provisional entry has 10 GTP / 12 LMP2 / 13 GTD Pro / 25 GTD for the Rolex.

The Porsche Penske and WTR/Andretti lineups are crazy.

I’m bummed no Cup drivers are trying the Rolex once again this year.

There are a ton of TBAs as far as drivers, even though teams were supposed to have them filed by November 7. If still be surprised if there were (m)any competing though. It’s a much bigger challenge than it was 10-15 years ago, more difficult to find a seat, and would be a time commitment that would take their final two off weekends before the Clash.

I think Ford said they may add some NASCAR and Supercars drivers to their factory pool but not until 2025.

While the Lambo won’t be present at the Rolex, it’s at the mandatory BoP test at Daytona this week. Good to see it’s up to speed and it sure looks mean as hell.

That's how you come out of the gate! Well done, Lambo.

Testing one, two:

Proton has secured Mustang Sampling sponsorship for their GTP entry next year, re-numbering from the 59 to the 5 (I think that means JDC will have a different number as well). Livery is absolutely incredible.

Merch me.

I'll have a heck of a time remembering this isn't JDC.

Beautiful, but it seems odd to see it on anything but a Cadillac.
