If you missed the action from the Rolex 24 in Daytona this year, you’re in luck.

The International Motor Sports Association, known as IMSA, has released an excellent recap of the entire race, compressing more than 24 hours of race action into a single eight minute video.

There was tons of excitement this year, with some of the best coming from the newest competitors. Cadillac returned to endurance racing this year, entering a pair of DPi-V.R prototypes which were duking it out for the top spot with an hour left to go in the race. When the No.10 Wayne Taylor Racing went for the final pass, contact was made and the No.5 Action Express Racing car spun out.

And it wasn’t just Cadillac that went back to sports car racing this year. Newly retired Nascar driver Jeff Gordon marked his return to endurance racing with a win as part of Wayne Taylor Racing.

Checkout the video to see all the highlights from this year’s race.
