As is customary at the beginning of each year, iRacing kicks off its special events at the Daytona International Speedway with the iRacing ROAR (recently named), an event that emulates the Roar Before 24 held annually as a prelude to the Daytona 24 Hours.
This race sets in motion two weeks of intense activity at the Florida circuit, both for real IMSA drivers and simracers who begin their year training and preparing for the legendary Daytona 24. While the classic race features competition among the lower divisions of IMSA, it serves as the grand preview for the first major event of the year. The event will be multiclass, with LMP3, GT4, and TCR Touring Cars sharing the track in pursuit of their respective category victories. The noteworthy news is the absence of the Toyota GR86, which had a significant presence in the 2023 edition.
