The motorsport season officially roars back to life! 
The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship holds its crucial pre-season test, the Roar Before the 24, at the legendary Daytona International Speedway!

DATES: JANUARY 16–18, 2026

This is the first time the full field of GTP (the American equivalent of Hypercar), LMP2, and the fiercely competitive GTD Pro and GTD classes hit the track together, setting the stage for the iconic Rolex 24 at Daytona (Jan 21–25).

The Roar isn't just a test—it's the first true showdown where teams finalize their driver lineups, dial in their BoP (Balance of Performance) settings, and show their hands just weeks before the main event.
