At the 2025 Daytona 24 Hours, F1 driver Kevin Magnussen’s impressive efforts have propelled the #24 BMW car into contention for victory. As the sun rose, Magnussen’s performance improved along with the track temperature, playing to BMW’s advantage. With four hours to go, the #24 car found itself sandwiched between two Porsche Penske cars, led by Laurens Vanthoor in the #7. The battle for the win appears to be a showdown between the German manufacturers, as Cadillac’s chances dissipated after the #40 crash. However, a mistake by Colton Herta in the #4 CrowdStrike Racing car in the LMP2 class shifted them out of podium contention due to repair delays. In the GT classes, the #1 Paul Miller Racing BMW led the GTD PRO class, while the #13 AWA Corvette led in GTD after 20 hours. The #99 AO Racing car led the second prototype class, with the #88 PECOM Racing and #8 Tower Motorsports cars following. Eager fans can catch the final four hours of the race for the thrilling conclusion!
