The 2023 Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona is in the books! Congratulations to all the teams and crew! Thank you also to those who came out to the BMW CCA hospitality tent and events throughout the weekend!
Look for more coverage in our channels coming soon!
With just about a half hour left, it looks as though the there will be no podiums for the BMWs for this event. On successful days, the pit crew and entire teams get well deserved praise. But on weekends like this, with cars in and out of garages and struggling to find pace, the teams really put in even more work, especially over a 24 hour race!
it looks as though the Turner Motorsport number 95 wrapped things up an hour early due to a power steering failure. Impressive go at it for 23 hours!
Bonus highlight at the BMW CCA hospitality tent! Renowned automotive artist Roger Warrick spent Saturday at the tent painting an art piece that was auctioned off at the end of the day. Proceeds went to the Austin Hatcher Foundation. Amazing work, Roger!
It has risen! The sun. The sun has risen in Daytona. Five and a half more hours of racing—longer than the majority of the races on schedule.
