Hey everyone, it's that time of the year again!
I've spent a long time crunching the numbers and what a story did they have to tell!
We've now had 845 drivers start a WeatherTech race, with 287 race winners, 452 podium earners, 582 DNF-ers, and 157 polesitters.
This year alone, we had 252 drivers start a race.
As far as race distances go, this year we added an endurance race, meaning we spent more time in racing conditions than any year prior, but we did not break any distance records! In 2020, the Prototype class raced for 7557.25 miles, and this year we only did 6997.68, meaning we had a lot more time behind the safety car than ever before. Part of this correlates to the fact that we had more cars start each race than any year prior. In 2020, we had the lowest car counts, but also the least amount of FCY laps.
This year you'll get 5 articles again, one for each class and one analyzing the BoP from the GT3 cars. First up will be GTP. If you like numbers, stats, colorful charts, and patterns that seem irrelevant yet matter to me, keep your eyes peeled here for some investigation and discovery of what really happened in the 2024 IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship, as told by the numbers!
