PPM's Historic Rolex 24 Victory Marks International Racing Milestone

The race culminated in a dramatic finish, with Felipe Nasr masterfully piloting the winning Porsche 963 past both the sister car and Acura MSR's Tom Blomqvist in the closing stages. The BMW RLL challenge faded after contact forced Dries Vanthoor's No. 24 M Hybrid V8 to retire from contention.
Nick Tandy became the first driver to achieve victories in all four major endurance races: Le Mans 24 Hours, Nurburgring 24 Hours, Spa 24 Hours, and now Daytona 24 Hours – all with Porsche. For teammate Laurens Vanthoor, it marked his first overall win at Daytona.
The victory showcased PPM's dominance throughout the event, with the team leading 517 laps. Team Managing Director Jonathan Diuguid praised the two-car strategy that helped control the race against strong competition from Acura, BMW, and Cadillac.
The win continues PPM's impressive run following their sweep of titles last year. The team now sets its sights on the upcoming WEC campaign and the possibility of claiming both the Rolex 24 and Le Mans 24 Hours victories in the same calendar year.
