Plenty to see at the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona even when not watching the track. Anyone remember these two?
Both BMW Hybrid V8 GTP cars have been ripping around the track again after a brief absence for the 25 car. We’re almost 6 hours into the race!
BMW executives visit the BMW CCA hospitality tent for a Q&A and update on the race, the brand, and all things BMW.
In the Hybrid V8 GTP cars’ inaugural race, the 25 car is currently in the garage getting some electrical work done. A fun part about fan engagement at these races is how closer and can get to check out the garage in action.
Car 24 is currently in 7th. Twenty-two-plus hours remain!
Racing is underway at the 2023 Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona!
