Default 24 Hours of Daytona

The list of drivers this year is epic. I am hoping that the merger/buyout can continue to bring this type of talent back to Daytona and Sebring, etc. next year.
Looks like Audi is bringing a cannon to a gun fight with their R8 driver lineup. This should be a fun one to watch.
Just a couple of weeks to the Roar before the 24.

It looks like a lot of people are taking 2013 very seriously as nobody knows what is happening in 2014 and it feels like the end of an era.

Can't wait for the Roar..... :-D

But can an Audi last? So far they have had a tough time running for more than a few hours. Don't bet against the 911s!

I agree. It will be a great test for Audi. I was in an V8 R8 (street car) on track all day Sunday in the rain. They are incredible in the wet. And it seems to rain at least once at every 24 Hour.
I am pulling for Porsche but there are some Audi drivers that I will be rooting for. As well as Alex Job as an owner.

AJR is going to have an interesting year, Porsche (GTC) and Audi programs and theoretically returning to ALMS GT with the Lotus.

the driver and team lineups are a bit shuffled this year for the 24, which will make things interesting. some cool new teams/entries coming on board too. I always look forward to the 24 but this one will be special, I think.
