Kevin Magnussen was denied a podium on his BMW debut at the 2025 Daytona 24 Hours when the #24 car suffered damage late on in a nail-biting conclusion to the enduro.

Magnussen, who finished up his F1 career in 2024 racing for the Haas F1 Team, hopes to be in the mix for the win this weekend at Daytona. The BMW M Team RLL Hybrid V8 team of Magnussen, Phillip Eng, Raffaele Marciello and Dries Vanthoor are on the pole for this year's 24 and a favorite in the GTP class.

Kevin Magnussen has sent a thinly-veiled dig at Formula One by saying he is looking forward to a 'real racing' environment in his new role. The Dane was dropped by Haas at the end of last season and looks unlikely to return to the grid in the future, having returned to another series he is already familiar with.

With his Formula 1 career almost certainly over, Magnussen has returned to the world of sportscar racing and races in the Daytona 24 Hours this weekend as part of the team in pole

Kevin Magnussen, a veteran of more than 180 Formula 1 Grands Prix, has joined BMW M Motorsport’s L.M.D.h. program in sports cars. “I’ve always had a passion for, you know, all sorts of motorsport races, and with the BMW deal that allows me to go and explore and try and win some of these big classic endurance races,” he said.

Former F1 star Kevin Magnussen is all set for the next chapter of his life - the IMSA SportsCar Championship. The Danish driver will participate in the "real racing" with the 2025 Rolex 24 Daytona, set to take place at the Daytona International Speedway at Daytona Beach, Florida.

The #24 BMW M Hybrid V8 which Kevin Magnussen will pilot in his debut at the Daytona 24 Hours will start on pole at the American enduro classic. After losing his seat at the Haas Formula 1 team, Magnussen signed with BMW to become one of the German brand’s factory drivers for the 2025 season.
