Welcome to the Weekend Sports Cars, part of Marshall Pruitts podcast collection from Daytona International Speedway in the 60-second running of the Rolex 24 hours of Daytona at what is termed the World Center of Racing. When you see this place and the scale of it, Stephen Kilby, who joins me for what is going to be a preview of this great race.

It's an impressive place, isn't it?

Yeah, it's been four years since I was last here, and it's one of these big endurance races where every time you come, it just makes a little bit of step.

Love a step up this year. It's just, yeah, an astonishing filled and a massive

crowd that we've seen. It is so far. I mean, the raw, busier than we've ever seen it before,

parking completely filled in the infield in the raw last weekend in freezing cold weather.

That four-year gap for you, that will teach you next time that law enforcement people here are serious,

and when they tell you you can't come back into the country for four years, they mean it.

So that's all good.

But let's talk about some of the storylines here.

It is four classes.

It's a new look again for the MSWetherTech SportsCGal Championship.

LMP3 has been parked for WeatherTech at least.

So it is GTP, LMP2, GTT Pro, and GTT.

Four fabulous fields of cars.

Real quality in depth in each of them.
