Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona 2015 – Report and Photos

Avatar photoSports Car Digest

The Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona 2015 was held January 24-25 at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. The 12-turn, 3.56-mile track is made up of portions of the NASCAR tri-oval and an infield road course.

Excitement at the 53rd Rolex 24 At Daytona went down to the wire. An engaging battle between the leading Prototypes was kept alive to the last by an incident bringing the safety car onto the track with 15 minutes to go. Scott Dixon held off the challenge of last year’s winner, #5 Action Express Racing to win; #02 Chip Ganassi racing eventually winning out by 1.333 seconds. In PC class, #52 PR1/Mathiasen Motorsport was all but handed victory when longtime leader #54 crashed out with less than 20 minutes to go. The #3 Corvette Racing held on to win GTLM, and in GTD it was #93 Riley Motorsport. Along with their respective trophies, all winning drivers were rewarded for their herculean efforts with the ultimate in motor sport prizes, a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona.
