AF Corse has detailed their lineup for the #21 Ferrari 296 in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s GTD class at the 62nd running of the 24 Hours of Daytona.
The Italian outfit has enlisted official AF Corse driver Simon Mann, official Ferrari factory driver Miguel Molina along with Francois Heriau for the team’s effort in the 2024 Endurance Cup season.
Kei Cozzolino will join the trio at the Daytona 24, which will open the campaign on 27-28 January.
Following the longest race of the season, is the second-longest – the 12 Hours of Sebring – on 16 March, followed three months later with a six-hour race at Watkins Glen.
This year, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course also hosts a six-hour endurance event, as opposed to the sprint race it resided as in the 2023 season.
Road Atlanta will host the 27th annual running of Petit Le Mans in October, a 10-hour season finale.
Cozzolino has experience in the GT scene, ever since he made his Super GT debut which fronted him to become a Lamborghini Young Driver, and a 2018 Pro-Am GT World Challenge Asia title for Car Guy Racing amidst a four-year effort.
He has competed in three 24 Hours of Le Mans races, consecutively in 2019 and 2020, and in last year’s Centenary edition for Kessel Racing.
His highest finish was fifth in GTE-Am in his maiden participation, and will now make his first appearance at the historic Daytona 24.
With his new role as an official AF Corse driver, Mann will also contest the full 2024 World Endurance Championship with Heriau and Alessio Rovera.
