Daytona Beach, FL (Jan 25, 2026) – James Roe delivered a strong performance in his second appearance at the iconic Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, finishing a strong P6 in the 21-entry GTD class. For the grueling twice-around-the-clock endurance classic, Roe drove the No. 80 Mercedes-AMG GT3 for Texas-based Lone Star Racing, and shared the ride with co-drivers Lin Hodenius, Ralf Aron, and Scott Andrews. In front of a record-setting IMSA crowd, the event saw fluctuating weather conditions, including intense overnight fog that caused a 6.5 hour full-course caution.

“It was a great P6 finish in Daytona,” said Roe. “It’s the toughest event of the year and we were on the lead lap the whole race, had perfect pit stops and no penalties. That’s how you win and we can make something out of that! The whole Lone Star crew genuinely did a mega job and it was a great weekend overall. Also, the fans in IMSA are amazing! What an awesome record-setting crowd and glad we could put on a good show.”

With Daytona complete, Roe now heads straight to Dubai for Rounds 3 and 4 of the Asian Le Mans Series, followed by the championship finale in Abu Dhabi on February 6–8. Then after a short break, Roe shifts to his primary focus INDY NXT by Firestone.
