IMSA: Flying Lizard confirms Rolex 24 entry

Flying Lizard Motorsports will kick off the new year with a two-car entry for the first race of the TUDOR United Sportscar Championship, the Rolex 24 at Daytona. In just under two months, the team will again find itself at Daytona International Speedway for the 3-day Roar Before the Rolex 24 test from Jan. 9-11, then return just 10 days later for the TUDOR Championship's flagship and season-opening 24-hour race.

The team will enter its No. 35 and No. 45 Audi R8 LMS cars in the GT Daytona class, returning to the site of its epic 2014 battle for the class win, which eventually resulted in second- and fifth-place finishes in the huge 29-car GTD field.

Flying Lizard is currently working to finalize its driver lineups for each car for the Rolex 24. Its plans beyond the Daytona race have not yet been determined, as the team is still considering options in the TUDOR Championship, Pirelli World Challenge, the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo North America, and other series. The team expects to make an announcement about a full-season program and additional one-off races to come within a few weeks.
