Created in 1962, the 24 Hours of Daytona has never stopped evolving since that year. In its early days, the race lasted 3 hours and thus counted towards the World Sports Car Championship. Subsequently, it is changed to a 2000km run, then to a 12 hour run, and finally a 24 hours race since 1966.
It became a kind of american Le Mans 24H race, however the race tarck is completely different (half oval with long bankings and half twisty infield).
The 24 hours of Daytona race was the 1st meeting of the world endurance calendar, until it left the world championship in 1982 when Group C regulations came into effect .
This race had its golden age between the end of the 60s and the beginning of the 90s.
