Internationaal: Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona: De deelnemers -

Nog een goede week en dan wordt de aftrap gegeven voor de 45ste editie van de 24 uur van Daytona. Tijdens deze editie duiken er heel wat bekende namen op van uit de Formule 1 wereld. Zo is er Juan Pablo Montoya (ex-McLaren) die aan de start zal verschijnen met een Lexus Riley. Ook Karl Wendlinger (o.a. ex-Sauber; #05 BMW Riley) zal deelnemen aan deze editie van de 24 uur van Daytona, net als Jan Magnussen (ex-Stewart; #10 Pontiac Riley), Gaston Mazzacane (ex-Minardi; #18 Porsche Fabcar) en JJ Lehto (o.a. ex-Benetton; #75 Pontiac Riley). Ons land wordt vertegenwoordigd door Marc Goossens (#91 Pontiac Riley) en Tom Cloet (#67 Porsche 996 GT3 Cup). Cloet won de afgelopen editie van de 24 uur van Zolder met de SRT Corvette C5-R.
