Heavy rain arrived early Sunday morning at the Daytona 24 Hours and basically never stopped. The field endured 17 full-course cautions and two red flags, but ultimately IMSA determined the track conditions were not sufficient to finish the race safely. Fernando Alonso, Jordan Taylor, Renger van der Zande and Kamui Kobayashi won driving the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Konica Minolta Cadillac-branded DPi. GM Racing won its third consecutive Daytona Prototype international (DPi) and overall victory at the Rolex 24.

Alonso now holds the 24 Hours of Le Mans and Rolex 24 titles simultaneously, both racing with Michelin tires. “The conditions made it ‘survive the moment,’” Alonso said. “It was not about the pace. It was about keeping the car on track and being safe. And I think the (Michelin) tires were amazing all the way through. In the dry, I think we did lap times that had never been done here before in Daytona, making lap records with the Mazda in qualifying, etc. So I think the tires were put under stress, but they behaved quite well. Also in wet conditions, extreme conditions, we were able to run a lot of laps under the green flag. It’s a big change compared to last year. I think with Michelin, we were all very happy."
