The eighth hour of the Rolex 24 At Daytona began with a yellow flag and a chaotic restart that saw six cars involved in a major incident as they entered the infield section of the track. Louis Deletraz lost control of the No. 40 Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac V-Series.R, triggering a chain reaction that involved multiple cars, including Nick Boulle, Chris Cumming, Jordan Pepper, and Sebastien Bourdais. Fortunately, all drivers were able to walk away from the crash without any apparent injuries. Despite the mayhem, the race resumed after a 25-minute full course yellow, with Jack Aitken leading in the No. 31 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R in the GTP class. In the LMP2 category, Paul Di Resta in the No. 22 ORECA holds the lead, while Ford Multimatic dominates the GTD PRO class with the No. 65 Mustang of Frederic Vervisch at the front. Franck Perera leads GTD for Forte Racing, with Heart of Racing down to one contending car after a mishap involving the No. 007 GTD PRO car.
