As excitement builds for the 2025 season and the 63rd Rolex 24 at Daytona, there are still some moments to relive from the 2024 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season. RACER has rounded up a few videos that highlight some cool stuff from 2024, and a couple to rev up fans for 2025.
Relive Motul Petit Le Mans with this extended highlights reel from Motorsports on NBC:
Go trackside at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta as IMSA captures the sights and sounds of Motul Petit Le Mans:
Looking for a little more analysis from the season finale? The penultimate episode of IMSA’s “Win the Weekend” season 2 has it for you.
Petit Le Mans was exciting as always, but ultimately it was the cap on another great season of IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship competition. This “Win the Weekend” season recap focuses on the intense battles in GTD PRO and GTD:
Pit stops are everything in endurance racing, Quite often ultimate pace isn’t what determines the winner, but rather the amount of time spent at a standstill in the pits. Tires, fuel, driver changes – and in the case of a bad day, parts swaps – all require carefully orchestrated precision to make it happen quickly and correctly. See how Action Express Racing prepares to execute perfect pit stops long before the car is loaded on the transporter.
Get a peek at the new Bosch hand controls that improved Robert Wickens’ experience in the Bryan Herta Autosport Hyundai Elantra N TCR with this IMSA video. The same system will allow Wickens to race the DXDT Corvette Z06 GT3.R in WeatherTech Championship sprint races next season.
Let us fanboy for a minute. All the GTP cars sound fantastic as they switch from electric propulsion to the internal combustion engine when leaving the pits. But the naturally aspirated Cadillac V8 has a sound like no other, and when it kicks in, it’s a punch to the gut that the turbo engines just can’t match. Cadillac’s engine team explains how that guttural sound is produced.
Did you see the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup race at Martinsville? Why the hell not?
2024 was a fantastic season of racing. But 2025 could be even better. Lamborghini enters its second season of competition with the SC63. And Aston Martin debuts the Valkyrie AMR … the sound of that V12 is divine. Get ready for 2025 by checking out some raw footage of testing at Daytona International Speedway from November.
Finally, a thank you from IMSA and IMSA President John Doonan:
IMSA’s official YouTube channel has highlights and full replays of WeatherTech SportsCar Championship races, but also all the support series as well – Michelin Pilot Challenge, VP Racing SportsCar Challenge, and all the single-make series such as Lamborghini Super Trofeo, Porsche Carrera Cup North America, Mustang Challenge, and Mazda MX-5 Cup (did we mention to check out the Martinsville race?). Plus “Win the Weekend” and other special productions are hosted on IMSA’s channel as well.
