IMSA officials today announced that GTD class car count will now reach 25 for the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, as Kenny Habul’s SunEnergy1 Racing team enters with a Mercedes-AMG GT3. According to the IMSA release, the car is expected to compete in the full four-race Michelin Endurance Cup season.
“Having 61 cars for the 61st running of the Rolex 24 At Daytona seems only natural,” said IMSA president John Doonan. “After we previously announced a 60-car capacity for the field last month – and knowing that we received more than 70 entries – our IMSA team regrouped and eventually determined that we could accommodate one more entry to match our field size from last year.
