Rasmussen pace key to “sitting duck” Era’s LMP2 Daytona 24 Hours win
Scotsman Ryan Dalziel secured a hat-trick at the Rolex 24, winning the LMP2 class despite lacking straightline speed compared to his rivals. His teammate, Christian Rasmussen, crossed the finish line with a 6-second lead over the second-place Crowdstrike by APR entry. Dalziel acknowledged that several cars had the potential to win, but his team’s high-downforce strategy paid off. Rasmussen expressed frustration over a late yellow flag that jeopardized their victory but was confident in their pace. The 17-year-old Connor Zilisch, a rising star signed by Trackhouse Racing, made an early mistake but delivered an impeccable double stint before Rasmussen closed out the win. Zilisch admitted to feeling nervous, but he had complete faith in his teammate and recognized the need to continue working hard despite recent successes.
