Hello BMW racing fans! We hope you’re as excited as we are for the Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway. For this epic weekend of Racing and Revelations, Kyle van Hoften will be live-blogging right here on BimmerLife! So stay tuned to this story for continuing updates on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We’ll have photos, video, visits with guests, short interviews with drivers and team members, and overall coverage of the racing and events.

The GTP cars made a strong entrance. The Hybrid V8 cars started 7th and 8th after making their appearance felt during the Grid Walk.
The three M4GT3 cars were lined up together as the grid walk got underway.
The Grid Walk was as crowded as anyone could remember seeing it!
The Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona is less than two hours away! The morning has been busy with the Meet and Greet with Team RLL racing, hot laps, hospitality tent, and more! Grid walk at noon! Racing at 1:40!
Today’s Rolex 24 will have five BMWs entered. Beginning at 1pm EST (following the fan grid walk among the cars), RLL will have the two new Hybrid V8 GTP cars, Turner Motorsport will have a M4GT3 in GTD Pro and GTD and Paul Miller Racing will have their GTD entry.
