Auberlen adjusting to unfamiliar role of spectator for Rolex 24

An entry list for the Rolex 24 At Daytona that doesn’t include Bill Auberlen is a strange thing to behold, but that’s exactly what the 2024 edition has to offer as North America’s winningest sports car driver is due to miss the race for only the third time since 1992.

The BMW factory driver from California completed the most recent IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season with his longtime team at Turner Motorsport in the GTD category, and despite expectations for the partnership to continue with a pair of BMW M4 GT3 entries, Turner dropped down to a single car for the year as the GTD class underwent expansion from other teams.
