Porsche Eyes Historic 20th Win at Daytona

Porsche is revving up for a chance to make history this weekend. If the German automaker takes the checkered flag at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, it will notch its 20th victory at the legendary endurance race—a record no other carmaker has come close to matching.

Last year, Porsche claimed its 19th win, with Felipe Nasr finishing just 2.1 seconds ahead of the competition. That victory alone put the brand on par with the combined total of its three closest rivals. Since its first win in 1968, Porsche has been a dominant force in the race, and this year’s event could add another milestone to its impressive legacy.

The Team Penske crew, which manages Porsche’s high-performance 963 LMDh cars, is feeling the pressure—and the excitement. Jonathan Diuguid, Porsche Penske Motorsport’s managing director, shared, “It’s really important to put these milestones and lines in the sand. To be part of extending these records and setting new goals for our competitors is incredibly rewarding.”

The Rolex 24 at Daytona isn’t just any race—it’s the opening event of the 2025 I.M.S.A. WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, and Porsche is determined to start the season with a bang. With 20 wins in sight, the team is ready to push the limits and leave the competition in the dust.

Will Porsche cross the finish line first again? Stay tuned—this weekend’s race is set to be one for the history books.
