Former Supercars champion and current IndyCar star Scott McLaughlin will make his Daytona 24 debut with Tower Motorsports in the #8 ORECA LMP2 07 in the Le Mans Prototype 2 class

Many Australians will also be focusing on the Porsche Penske Motorsports squad with Aussie International and IMSA champion Matt Campbell expected to be one of the powerhouse team’s leading drivers in the new 963.
