  • Appearance of IMSA and the 2024 Rolex 24 At Daytona Kickstarts Summer Blockbuster

By Tony DiZinno, IMSA

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. – Sports car racing is having a moment of late; it’s being spotlighted on screens of all sizes across the country and across the world. There’s a litany of streaming series, docuseries and a couple sports car-specific silver screen films that have premiered within the past few years. That includes a few award winners in the IMSA space.

However, it’s F1® The Movie that – even if only briefly – showcases IMSA in a prominent guest-starring role to open proceedings to the two-and-a-half-hour summer 2025 blockbuster.

Several media members were among those granted a special opportunity to see a Porsche-hosted advance screening of the film prior to the Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen weekend at The Glen Theatre in downtown Watkins Glen.
