The 2024 IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge season is an ongoing motor racing championship. It is the second season of the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge after being established in 2023 as a replacement for the IMSA Prototype Challenge . The season will begin on January 20 at Daytona International Speedway and will conclude on October 19 at Road Atlanta .
