Multiple drivers competing in the Daytona 24 Hours have called for Max Verstappen to enter the iconic endurance race at the Daytona International Speedway.
Max Verstappen, an admirer of endurance sports car racing, faces calls to enter the iconic Daytona 24 Hours race at the Daytona International Speedway. He has expressed interest in endurance racing post-F1, potentially after his Red Bull contract expires in 2028. Daytona does not overlap with F1 and occurs during the motorsport winter break, attracting diverse drivers from various categories. However, F1 drivers typically do not race outside their series, presenting a challenge for Verstappen’s potential participation. Despite these hurdles, the question arises whether it’s time for Verstappen to break convention and compete in next year’s Daytona 24 Hours.
