Each year, the endurance racing season starts with one of the world’s most iconic and historic motorsport events, and certainly one of the most challenging: the 24 Hours of Daytona. With decades of heritage present in the track, the teams, the cars, and the drivers alike, the Rolex 24 At Daytona is one of the most exciting races on the calendar, starting each racing season off on a high note.
This past weekend saw the 2026 Rolex 24 at Daytona take place, and the result was Porsche taking home another overall victory, its third in a row. While the win is an incredible achievement for the Porsche Penske Motorsport team, it bears even greater significance as it makes Porsche one of just three teams who has a Daytona ‘hat trick’ to their name. The number 7 Porsche 963 racing hypercar claimed the victory, driven by Felipe Nasr, Julien Andlauer, and Laurin Heinrich, finishing just one second after the second-place Cadillac.
