Lexus suffers early crash, late fire in ill-fated Daytona 24 Hours
The No. 14 Vasser Sullivan RC F started in the front row of both GTD classes and took the lead of the Pro class with Ben Barnicoat at the wheel. However, their race was marred by an incident in the first hour when Dennis Andersen’s LMP2 car spun in front of them, causing extensive damage to their car. Despite rejoining the race, they had to retire in Hour 16 due to overheating issues. The sister car, driven by Parker Thompson, was on track for a podium finish until it caught fire due to a suspected plenum issue in the final hour. The GTD Pro class victory went to the #62 Risi Competizione Ferrari, while Winward Racing claimed the GTD category win.
