La liste des engagés des 24 Heures de Daytona 2016 fait état de 54 engagés avec des pilotes venant de 24 pays avec 4 femmes au départ. Tous les concurrents présents au Roar Before the 24 début janvier seront de la partie.
Absent des essais, le Risi Competizione fera débuter sa Ferrari 488 que se partageront Giancarlo Fisichella, Toni Vilander, Davide Rigon et Olivier Beretta. Giuseppe Risi s’est rendu à Fiorano pour le shakedown de la GTLM.
Il reste peu de places à prendre dans les équipages, si ce n’est un baquet sur l’ORECA-FLM09/BAR1 Motorsports #20. Le Konrad Motorsport doit encore annoncer deux pilotes dans la Lamborghini Huracan GT3 #21 où seuls Emanuele Busnelli et Jim Michaelian sont confirmés.
Les premiers essais débuteront jeudi 28 janvier.
