The 2021 24 Hours of Daytona (formally the 2021 Rolex 24 at Daytona) was an endurance sports car race sanctioned by the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). The event was held at Daytona International Speedway combined road course in Daytona Beach, Florida, on January 30–31, 2021. This event was the 59th running of the 24 Hours of Daytona, and the first of 12 races across multiple classes in the 2021 IMSA SportsCar Championship, as well as the first of four rounds in the 2021 Michelin Endurance Cup. Acura scored its first overall 24 Hours of Daytona victory, while Wayne Taylor Racing became the second team to win the race three times in a row.{{Cite web |title=Breakthrough Win for Acura, Historic Win for Wayne Taylor Racing in 59th Rolex 24 At Daytona |url=https://www.imsa.com/news/2021/01/31/breakthrough-win-for-acura-historic-win-for-wayne-taylor-racing-in-59th-rolex-24-at-daytona/ |website=IMSA.com}}

NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., who built Daytona International Speedway in 1959, conceived of the 24 Hours of Daytona to attract European sports-car endurance racing to the United States and provide international exposure to the speedway.{{Cite web |last=Edelstein |first=Stephen |date=January 27, 2016 |title=Daytona 101: Everything you need to know about America's 24-hour endurance race |url=https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/everything-to-know-daytona-24-hour/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160610054608/http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/everything-to-know-daytona-24-hour/ |archive-date=June 10, 2016 |access-date=July 19, 2023 |publisher=Digital Trends}} It is informally considered part of the Triple Crown of Endurance Racing, with the 12 Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.{{Cite web |last=Pose |first=Sam |date=December 7, 2011 |title=24 Hours of Daytona: A short history of a long race |url=https://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/news/a17729/24-hours-of-daytona/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151003111712/http://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/news/a17729/24-hours-of-daytona/ |archive-date=October 3, 2015 |access-date=July 19, 2023 |website=Road & Track}}

International Motor Sports Association's (IMSA) president John Doonan confirmed the race was part of the schedule for the 2021 IMSA SportsCar Championship (IMSA SCC) in September 2020.

Entries

{{Main|2021 IMSA SportsCar Championship#Entries}}

With the addition of the Le Mans Prototype 3 (LMP3) class, despite the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of entrants to the 24-hour race saw a marked improvement from the 2020 running of the event, with 50 entries registered. There were seven entries in the Daytona Prototype International (DPi) class, ten in LMP2, seven in LMP3, six in GT Le Mans (GTLM), and 20 in GT Daytona (GTD). Some notable entries include Chip Ganassi Racing, who are registered to participate in the Daytona Prototype international (DPi) class with the Cadillac DPi-V.R. This marked Chip Ganassi Racing's return to top-level sportscar competition in America after a one-year absence following the withdrawal of their Ford GTE program at the end of the 2019 season, and their first race in prototypes since the 2016 edition of the 24-hour race.

The Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2) class also saw a flourish of international interest, with ten entries registered, the highest entry count since LMP2 was made its own class. Several of the teams, such as DragonSpeed, Racing Team Nederland, and High Class Racing, are mainstays of the FIA World Endurance Championship. Many of the LMP2 driver rosters include world-class drivers, such as Nicolas Lapierre, Giedo van der Garde, and Ben Hanley, among others.

The entry count would drop to 49 for the race itself. Just prior to the testing weekend, the team owner of Porsche GT Daytona entrant Black Swan Racing, Tim Pappas, tested positive for COVID-19. He had contracted it after racing in the 2021 Dubai 24 Hour event two weeks prior. As a safety precaution, Pappas withdrew the entire team, which consisted of himself, Porsche factory driver Patrick Pilet, Patrick Lindsey, and Larry ten Voorde, who also tested positive for COVID-19 shortly after Pappas.{{cite web|url=https://racer.com/2021/01/20/black-swan-racing-withdraws-from-rolex-24/|title=Black Swan Racing withdraws from Rolex 24|last=Pruett|first=Marshall|date=January 20, 2021|work=racer.com|publisher=Racer Media & Marketing Inc.|accessdate=January 25, 2021}}

Pre-Race

=Balance of Performance=

Prior to the 24-hour race, and indeed the mandatory testing session that came a week prior, IMSA released a technical bulletin regarding the Balance of Performance for the 24 Hours of Daytona. Every year a unique set of BoP constraints are determined exclusively for the 24-hour event, due to the unique challenges the length of the race brings relative to the other events in the IMSA calendar. There was a large focus on changes in the GT classes. After winning both the 2019 and 2020 editions of the Rolex, the BMW M8 GTE was put at a 10-kilogram weight disadvantage, along with restricted levels of turbo boost. Meanwhile, the Porsche 911 RSR and Chevrolet Corvette C8.R were both given increases in the sizes of their air restrictors, with the latter being made 10 kilograms lighter. In GTD, several cars had their constraints changed, most notably the Porsche 911 GT3 R and 2020-edition-winning Lamborghini Huracan GT3. The former was given a hefty 20-kilogram weight increase, and the latter would run at restricted power levels.{{cite web|url=https://www.imsa.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2021/01/14/TB-IWSC-21-06-ROAR-BoP-Tables-01142021.pdf|title=IMSA TECHNICAL BULLETIN IWSC #21-06|last=IMSA Competition|date=January 14, 2021|work=imsa.com|accessdate=January 25, 2021}}
