On the occasion of the three-day official tests on the Daytona International Speedway in Florida, the two Porsche 911 RSR race cars covered a total of 2,120km under changeable conditions. The focus of this intensive work for the factory team was on improving the setup, on tyre comparisons as well as tests for the upcoming 24-hour race on the storied race track.

The season-opening round of the North American sports car series takes place on 26 and 27 January. Nick Tandy and the two Frenchmen Patrick Pilet and Frederic Makowiecki shared driving duties in the #911 503bhp Porsche 911 RSR. Last year the trio won the endurance races at Sebring and Road Atlanta. For the tests, their brand colleagues Earl Bamber and Mathieu Jaminet shared the cockpit of the #912 sister car.

Regular driver Laurens Vanthoor missed the 'Roar Before The Rolex 24' due to the birth of his first child. The Le Mans winner will be back in the cockpit for the start of the season in late January.
