2014 Roar Before the 24

Scott Pruett

The 2014 edition of the classic race will mark a dramatic new launch into a new era for sports car racing, with the first-ever IMSA TUDOR United SportsCar Championship event set to make history.  New class regulations, a new Ford EcoBoost power plant, and a bevy of new competition will be on hand as the stakes have been raised and the next chapter of sports car racing is written. There's going to be a lot of traffic out there.

Nissan Nismo Muscle Milk

After taking back-to-back American Le Mans Series championship victories, Muscle Milk Pickett Racing will be powered by Nissan in 2014 for the inaugural TUDOR United SportsCar Championship. As part of the Nismo Global Driver Exchange, racers from Nissan’s squad of international drivers will compete alongside Muscle Milk Pickett Racing’s Lucas Luhr and Klaus Graf. Luhr is no stranger to Nissan colors – winning the GT1 World Championship aboard a Nissan GT-R with Michael Krumm in 2011.

Site and Sound Big Time 

PMD tv has a nice rig for a camera and the sound puts you on the track. I'll tell ya the networks are paying attention to you guys!  Nice Work PMD tv, thanks for the long run.

From PMD tv: TUDOR United SportsCar Championship testing at Daytona, most known as the annual Roar Before the 24. Also, includes Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge series. All captured without a stand so sometimes it is shaky and possibly out of focus. Just listen to the sound in those scenarios.
