Turner Motorsport will kick off the 2017 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship this weekend with Saturday’s 55th Rolex 24 at Daytona at Daytona International Speedway in the twice-around-the-clock race on the 3.56-mile 12-turn road course. Turner drivers Justin Marks, Jens Klingmann, Maxime Martin and Jesse Krohn prepare for one of the most intense endurance tests in the world behind the wheel of The No. 96 Katerra BMW M6 GT3. The race marks the blue and yellow BMW’s 354th professional race start since 1998.
As on track action begins on Thursday from Daytona International Speedway, so will the wide array of event coverage, including a live stream from IMSA.com of the GTD qualifying session.
“This year’s coverage via Fox Sports, IMSA.com and IMSA Radio is by far the most complete coverage of this event that we have seen since our first start here in 2010.” Jay Baier, Director of Marketing said. “We are very excited to see so much race coverage on Fox Sports and flag to flag coverage on Fox Sports Go App so we hope all our fans, friends and partners can tune in and follow along.”
“In addition to the Fox and IMSA coverage, we will also have tons of behind the scenes coverage from pit lane as we have in the past, through all of our social channels including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. We will have driver interviews, reports from in car, strategy, pit stop updates and more.”
