It’s worth noting that the Aston Martin GT3 is the Evo variant that’s supposed to be more reminiscent of the next generation Vantage, so it’s also a new car. It just won’t look like one unless you know which details to look for because they decided to put some stupid covers on the headlights because they didn’t unveil the next generation Vantage OR the racing version even though they knew damn-well they’d be racing it this week (edit: it’s one of the most mind-numbingly stupid decisions I’ve ever seen from anyone). In case you were wondering tho, the wheel arches and front grille look different on the new car, with the wheel arches being open at the back and the grille taking on a more traditional shape. The headlights will also have a longer outline around them, but let’s be honest; you’re not going to see that when the car is zooming around because of the stupid headlight stickers. Looking forward to this season otherwise tho
@@turbo_marc I say it is. You don't race a car you never unveiled because then you end up spoiling the design. Hell; you can see Aston trying to hide it with the headlight covers they put on the car. It's a rather pathetic and stupid move from an otherwise amazing manufacturer. And all of that could have been avoided if they just said they were going to do so ahead of time, but no. They had to race the new car before it was unveiled. Why? I don't know. But they did
@@turbo_marc I'm not saying the design is messed up. The car is beautiful still. What I'm saying is that Aston Martin is still trying to hide and cover up at least part of the car because they never revealed the production version of it. It's a really stupid decision
@@turbo_marc and as I said before: the problem could have easily been avoided had they just made a social media post ahead of time saying they were going to do that or some shit, but no. They had to silently release the GT3 Evo and GT4 Evo whilst hiding the true shape of the headlights because they knew damn well what they did. I'm surprised they didn't try to modify the look of the front grille as well. But hey, maybe this is their way of saying "our car doesn't look that much different from last year's; you won't notice the difference." I guarantee you that on February 14th at the AMR24 reveal then the 2024 Vantage is also revealed that they won't even give the slightest hint of the GT3 Eva racing at IMSA, but will instead let it be a silent footnote in the car's history
I cant believe Cadillac had been shipping the car back and fourth overseas to compete in the WEC at the same time as IMSA. Thats an insane amount of logistics. Makes sense they'd only keep it in the Europe circuit.
The hype is real! My only complaint is there’s not another Porsche GTD Pro entry. Not even sure who to root for in the GT classes this year, so many good choices.
Lots of teams and cars that definitely have my interest but the top ones for sure will be Action Express, both WTRs, JDC Miller, Pratt Miller, Ford Multimatic, AO Racing, United Autosports, Iron Dames, Gradient Racing, Pfaff, AF Corse, AWA, Proton, and Vasser Sullivan. Bring on Daytona🏁🏁
@@asapaul7671 Ok I've been having issues finding them the last few years. I used to be able to get it with a quick Google search but recently it took me quite a while to find one from the correct year.😊
Rooting for Iron Dames Lambo and the 2 GTD Pro C8.R. Too bad they dropped Lime Rock this year. It's the closest track to me. That's where I get to see IMSA live. Hope they can bring the race back there for 2025.
This video was well made and will be helpful to follow the race. The battle in GT3 will be amazing . In all categories its too close to call. Should be a fantastic race.
It will be interesting to see what happens. In Europe, the ORECAs had a very large performance advantage which was why eventually former Ligier teams had to switch to stay competitive.
@@FormulaJonah nvm its just the weird format. you had blank spots underneath the rexy listing and then moved on to GTD So I figured you missed 3, but I guess they were just extra spots on your graphic.
My second season and i cant wait to see how the fords do and also rexy in gtd pro being the only porche. Also the heart of racing because i started following them thanks to jackultramotive and i cant wait to see the start. Sad the Lamborghini lmdh isnt there but will be cheering for it a Sebring.
Honestly, I'm torn over who to support in each class (apart from LMP2 because they're not really my thing, so I don't root for anyone). Like for GTD and GTD Pro, I'm gonna be rooting for the Mustangs, but I also love the Mercs (which are my go-to GT3s to sim race). And for GTP, I would be supporting Lamborghini, but for the 24, I guess I'll just pick a car from a hat 😂
The LMP2 rules have been a such a failure, though I bet that was always the plan. Riley one of the 4 manufacturers picked to design a LMP2 car for the current regs, a company that nearly went bankrupt because the car was such a failure is running a Oreca!!
@@Maenfy Failure is a strong word on my part, but I loved the days when a random LMP2 manufacturer would show up, like Pillbeam, Dome, Embassey, or BR. Obviously Riley/Multimatic are to blame for building a car with so much drag, but I think the ACO knew one manufacturer would be better than the other three, essentially creating a monopoly, and I would bet they are very happy it was a French manufacturer. With LMH they had to hit a drag target making the aero more predictable
@@sneauxday7002 cannot agree more, it's not even funny. It's Porshe, with a silent 'uh', and now he knows! So, I wonder, why he's defending his point of view, using a nonsense explanation... not fancing it's own channel? Ok, evaluated as so! PS: I must stop being so mean... deep breath... repeat... Ohhh, for God sake RuiPedro, this is Internet, f@ck it!
@@FormulaJonah I'm just being silly, ok? I like your work, and I'll keep coming here every new video, mate. I wish you the very best, and congrats from Portugal. PS: try to loose the 'a' in Porshe, it's a strong suggestion like... like if your success was the most important thing in my life.... like you're my brother, or something like that. This is a constructive suggest, Jonah. 🙂👍
Who is ready for the start of this season?
Me
Me. Absolutely.
I'm hyped for this IMSA season:D
Me
Yeah!!

They had a special Le Mans chassis for the 01/3, but that got mostly destroyed at Spa, so they still had to rebuild with parts from the IMSA chassis

Cannot wait to kick the season off!!!
Its going to be awesome!

Those Caddys give me goosebumps evertime they fire up coming out of the pits.
I got 4 vettes to cheer for hell yeah
Do you think you could do a spotters guide video? With each car livery and the drivers for each car?
It looks like the official spotters guide is coming out on Tuesday
@@asapaul7671 Ok I've been having issues finding them the last few years. I used to be able to get it with a quick Google search but recently it took me quite a while to find one from the correct year.😊
Can't wait to see Ford on the track again. They were severely missed over these last few years.
A very, very excellently done video. Bravo!
Thank you very much!
Ready for 2024. I am supporting the defending GTP class champions and the #31 Whelen Engineering Action Express Cadillac.
Rooting for Iron Dames Lambo and the 2 GTD Pro C8.R. Too bad they dropped Lime Rock this year. It's the closest track to me. That's where I get to see IMSA live. Hope they can bring the race back there for 2025.
I'm pulling for the blue oval teams
This video was well made and will be helpful to follow the race. The battle in GT3 will be amazing . In all categories its too close to call. Should be a fantastic race.
Thank you for these videos. I'm a huge endurance fan and cannot wait for this race
Glad to hear that you enjoy the content!
The best!
I'm mainly rooting for Rexy in GTD Pro and the new Proton Ford in GTD, BMW in GTP and United Autosports in LMP2 ❤
Why dont compete 60 cars?
There was 60 entries I believe. But the #91 Kelly Moss Porsche pulled out I believe
This is awesome but I wish there were more Porsches and Mercedes in GTD Pro
competed in iracing daytona 24 then watched irl daytona 24 quali, hype!!
Corvette vs Mustang in GTD Pro will be fun! Will miss seeing Meyer Shank Racing in GTP. Duqueine will be absent due no more LMP3
GO / GTP 31 / LMP2 81 / GTDP 19 / GTD 66
Always look forward to the Daytona 24
Thank you for this breakdown. Makes it much more exciting to tune in.
Cannot wait to start the motorsport year!!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOO, the Gt3 is looking soo good this year, juicy
Go Corvettes 🤘
Can't wait to see those mustangs on the track.😊😊😊😊
Yeah mustang will hear 5.0 litre v8 engine and good race
@SISTERIES14 I think they use a diff engine than the street's GT 5.0. Still a V8 though
man, the oreca 07 is the meta on LMP2
Im super happy that Rexy got pole position for GTD Pro
Thanks
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
im so hyped for this season
Spike looks pretty cool to me to be honest
Bro mad props to that team running a legier in lmp2, everyone else is a jay cutler cookie cutter! Love this channel brother keep it up!
It will be interesting to see what happens. In Europe, the ORECAs had a very large performance advantage which was why eventually former Ligier teams had to switch to stay competitive.
Go Pfaff! Go go go! 🍁🍁🍁 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
It's odd that WTR is racing a Lambo instead of an Acura in the GTD class. Only 2 BMW's in the whole GT field is odd too.
Penske Porsche and BMW
Thanks for posting , next time can you name the drivers?
Sure thing! Thanks for watching
Thank you for posting this info. I find it very helpful. :)
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
I'm Porsche supporter and I am curious to see how the Mustang will do
You forgot 3 of the GTD PRO listings.....
Which ones did I forget?
@@FormulaJonah nvm its just the weird format. you had blank spots underneath the rexy listing and then moved on to GTD So I figured you missed 3, but I guess they were just extra spots on your graphic.
The 911 GT cars look great in all black
Turner ///Motorsports :D

What is the difference between GT Pro and GTD? Is GT Pro setup for Le Mans?
Anyone know the times?
Holy cow! 59!?!?
Yeah! Quite a lot of cars there!

Should have covered the drivers as well
I’ll consider doing that for future events 👍
its just sad that the sc63 is not making its imsa debut in rolex 24 it would have been 60 entries
I want to know the story behind Proton stealing both JDC Miller's sponsor and car number
I hope Porsche can go for the win
Are all of the LMP2 cars powered by Nissan?
Gibson as far as I know.
@@Maenfy 😳
TDS Racing (tedious), is an unfortunate name for a team!
I'm just here to watch Ford kick ass.
Did Audi ditch their GT program?
There hasn’t been an Audi at the Rolex since 2021, but yeah Audi doesn’t really support factory teams that much anymore.
VAG puts its money into the Porsche team only now.
The LMP2 rules have been a such a failure, though I bet that was always the plan. Riley one of the 4 manufacturers picked to design a LMP2 car for the current regs, a company that nearly went bankrupt because the car was such a failure is running a Oreca!!
Well not sure if that's the regs to be honest. The cars are still fun to watch and provide great racing.

So there is someone insane enough to not run an Oreca in P2 lol
If it's not a Cadillac,Corvette or a Ford it's a dog. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
There is no audi 😢
Unfortunately not 😞
Go BMW....
Where’s the Ferraris?
they only race in WEC
Repair shop
the prototypes are so boring
Honestly, pretty useless without the driver line up.
Porschaaaa? Please remove the A.... that don´t exist in the word Porsche.
Please do so.
The way I said the name Porsche, can also be correct.
porsche is pronounced Porsh-uh, youre actually so incorrect its not even funny
@@sneauxday7002 cannot agree more, it's not even funny. It's Porshe, with a silent 'uh', and now he knows!

Relax! We Americans like to pronounce it that way. 🤙🏄
A real shame they run on that joke circuit.
Typical IMSA, lame. Only 10 cars in lmp1. No Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alpine….yawn.
Well Ferrari probably dont give a shit racing in some national championship but they do race GTs in IMSA
