Privateer JDC-Miller Tops Final GTP Run as Roar Test Wraps at Daytona

Evenly matched pace in testing points to a tightly contested Rolex 24 next week.

Overview

  • Porsche Penske, BMW WRT and Cadillac each led timed sessions through the weekend, capped by Nico Pino putting JDC-Miller’s 2025-spec Porsche 963 fastest in the final GTP run.
  • Laurens Vanthoor led Porsche’s charge twice, topping Saturday’s daytime session and the night practice as ten of eleven GTP cars ran within half a second after dark.
  • IMSA enforced stop-plus-60-minute session penalties on Tower Motorsports, Era Motorsport and Pratt Miller Motorsports in LMP2 for unapproved sensors, curtailing their Saturday running.
  • Meyer Shank Racing’s Acuras faced brake and reliability setbacks and the Heart of Racing Aston Martin Valkyrie underwent an engine change before returning to post laps Sunday.
  • GT pace remained volatile across classes, with GTD entries frequently quickest, including Joey Hand’s Gradient Ford Mustang leading all GT times in the Sunday morning session.
