Kevin Magnussen’s pursuit of winning the Daytona 24 Hours will have to wait at least until next year.
Unfortunately, Kevin Magnussen’s dream of winning the 2025 Daytona 24 Hours was dashed when his team’s #24 BMW suffered significant damage. Despite Magnussen’s efforts to put the crew in contention for victory, an ongoing issue escalated when Dries Vanthoor took over driving duties. The #24 BMW exhibited stabilty issues at high speeds and was challenging to slow down, culminating in a collision with the leading #6 Porsche Penske with just 35 minutes left in the race. Forced to pit for repairs due to the damage, Vanthoor’s efforts were hampered by smoke from the rubbing front left tire and bodywork. This setback caused the #24 crew to lose several laps and plummet down the GTP class rankings, while at the front, a mere two seconds separated the top three finishers: the #6 and #7 Porsche Penskes, and the #60 Acura.
