The Rolex 24 At Daytona features icons of the racing world competing on teams across four separate classes of competition: Grand Touring Prototype (GTP), Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2), GT Daytona Pro (GTD PRO), and GT Daytona (GTD). Palou, the reigning INDYCAR champion, aims to earn his first Rolex 24 victory in the GTP class with Acura Meyer Shank Racing.
