GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • LILOU WADOUX is back to defend her IMSA GTD drivers’ championship alongside Simon Mann in AF Corse’s #21 Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo at the 2026 Rolex 24. The duo will be joined by Le Mans winner Antonio Fuoco and IMSA newcomer Tommaso Mosca, creating a compelling mix of proven champions and rising talent for the season opener.
  • AF Corse is doubling down at Daytona with a one-off LMP2 entry alongside their title-defending GTD program. The #83 ORECA 07-Gibson features François Perrodo returning to IMSA for the first time since 2023, paired with his regular co-drivers Matthieu Vaxivière and Nicklas Nielsen, plus 24-year-old Dylan Murry reprising his role from last year’s event.
  • While many teams scale back their efforts, AF Corse continues expanding their Daytona presence for the fourth consecutive year in LMP2, even as they’ve stepped away from the full Endurance Cup program. This strategic approach keeps them competitive across multiple classes while maintaining their championship momentum in GTD with proven winners.

UPCOMING:

  • 2026 Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona – January 21-25, 2026
