How Porsche Penske WON Daytona In 2024

[@SultanNizi3000GT]

This is the momentum Porsche needed.

Let's see how BoP treats the whole field in the future

[@tfkrazvan]

They have been on a slightly different fuel strategy. At last pit stop, Nasr had more fuel, so he stayed 3 sec less to refuel. That brought them the win. Well deserved for Porsche. Well done.

[@teamredgutz399]

Jumping into the lead at the pit stop was brilliant strategy. The Caddy is FAST. This is a team game and our team outwitted the Caddy and held on with flawless driving from Felipe Nasr who showed immense grace under the unending pressure of a hard charging Tom Blomqvist, one of the best final stint racers in IMSA. Felipe was better this time.

[@zanezolnowski8186]

Tom may have closed the gap if the checkers didn’t wave a lap too early.

[@teamredgutz399]

@@zanezolnowski8186 Tom is incredibly talented, but I think he was a little too far back

[@OscarZheng50]

@@zanezolnowski8186 Tom had many laps to get past Nasr before the checkered flag but he never got past the porsche so what makes you think he will do it on the last lap when he had multiple laps to close the gap and pass before the final lap

I knew that Porsche Penske would won because they had a strong driver lineup and I am extremely happy to see that Porsche are back winning ways. Now they need to win Le Mans in June as

[@trance9158]

Excellent race and had me worried there at the end...go Porsche!!

[@matthewmiller6517]

As a Porsche fan I am happy with the win but I was nervous seeing the Cadillac getting better as the sun came up and the track warming up. The only way I saw them winning was either at the last pitstop or a late caution and they get the jump on the restart. I guess technically both happened.

[@miata0363]

I was there live and me and my dad and I noticed the 31 Cadillac slowdown at the horseshoe corner, so either traffic got really bad or out of fuel. Still, it was great watching both Cadillac and Porsche fighting.

[@johnsullivan937]

I think I remember hearing that caddy sort of took a gamble, and unfortunately for them the lexus fire completely screwed up that strategy they tried. On the second to last pit stop they short fueld, which helped them get out ahead of porsche and get a good comfortable gap around the 1 hour-1.30 hour mark. However they really needed that gap, as since they short fueled the previous stop, that meant they would have to spend longer fueling during the next stop than the porsche who had more fuel in the tank. Since the FCY came out it completely destroyed the advantage the caddy had, and now put them at a disadvantage. They'd have to take longer to fuel, and the porsche was right on their tail. That slight fueling time advantage allowed porsche to jump caddy in the pits and the rest is history. It really is a tale as classic as racing itself. Sometimes you gamble and it pays off, other times you just get dealt a bad hand.

[@ValkyrieLightwing]

This was the first time I ever watched the Rolex 24, or really any endurance race live, for that matter. The way the Caddi's were seemingly dominating before I went to bed, only to wake up to all 4 Porsches right behind one another with Cadillac having to defend had me shook. I was expecting the 963's to be fairly underwhelming, so the way they ran that race was surprising to say the least. The reliability of those things is really just crazy compared to the other cars. And honestly, I think that last hour FCY made the race even better than it otherwise might have been, forcing much harder and closer racing for each class leaders. I also personally think that Aitken was kept out a bit longer than he should have, because it seemed like as his stint went on, he was getting slower and slower. But regardless, the race overall was insanely good stuff to watch, and while there was some questionable driving at times, the driving was absolutely incredible all around.

[@abcsdg9]

7 car led a majority of the evening and night portion of the 24 at Daytona. Not sure what happened in the morning g part, but pit crew and drivers worked their way up for the win. Awesome race!

[@Grmpf66]

Fantastic race! Love those 24h races and seeing Porsche on top is nice. A "short" (starting 2 laps) clip from Kevin Estre and his Porsche 911 GT3 R on the Nürburgring 24h 2021 - Porsche is still winning 24h races around the world.

[@xRoboRedx]

I got to be there this year. That last hour was absolutely riveting. I had a feeling Porsche would win this time considering their performance in qualifying and noted improvements in performance overnight in past examples for turbocharged cars like them and the Acura. I didn't expect the finish to be this close. The early ending was definitely confusing. I was getting my phone out with what I expected to be two laps to go so I could record the final lap and looking at to flag stand to prepare when I noticed the white flag was out. That's definitely going to be a situation to remember. Points to Nasr for keeping it going full speed for one more lap after that checkered just in case. Looking forward to the rest of the season and how the other cars will be doing in WEC.

[@brianmelo6130]

I was there my first race in person and my fav team Acura 10, broke down but had a great time

[@ponanikhoza1934]

[@JOHANNESwhoelse]

I feel quite bad about having missed the race due to other plans I had for that weekend, but I feel great about Porsche winning at Daytona. This is great justification for manufacturers investing in LMDH machines.

[@teamredgutz399]

It was a thrilling finish to the race. We were so happy we were there. And sitting in Porschehaus hospitality it was such a thrill, willing our team to the checked flag.

[@turcenoarthurjamil4364]

Porsche has a habit of winning in every championship they enter, WEC (GTE, LMP1), WRC are some of them, They are just so good at what they do, They're so successful to the point where they don't need to in Formula One to be famous and to be successful. I really do wish that someday they enter formula 1

The faster stop of the Porsche was also because of the 3 laps difference between the 31 and the 7 on the stop before the FCY. So the 7 had less fuel to put in

Thanks for the SPOILER, man. Why, why, why? Some of us watch the race on KZbin, so we can watch the whole 24 hours (without coffee or drugs). I was less than halfway through - watching on the Roku - and hit the pause button, at which point some thumbnails appear at the bottom... and I see PORSCHE IS VICTORIOUS. F890. Go ahead and give some highlights and analysis and all -- that's well and good -- but WITHOUT THE SPOILERS. C'mon, work with me here.

[@FormulaJonah]

I didn’t post any spoilers to this race until a few days after the full Daytona race was posted to the official IMSA KZbin channel, which I also provided links beforehand incase there was anyone who missed watching it live. I am not really sure what else could’ve have been done considering all the time I gave, KZbin’s algorithm, and with this being a channel that covers the latest news around endurance racing. I am of course still truly sorry this video spoiled it for you though! All I can do is give my apologies.

[@Urbie4]

@@FormulaJonah Nah, it's no big thing. The spoiler was (I guess) an artifact of the way the Roku KZbin viewer shows thumbnails when you hit the Pause button -- it happened to show a thumbnail of the splash screen from this video, hence "Porsche Is Victorious." If it were that important, I could have just downloaded the four parts of IMSA's coverage (I use an app that talks to KZbin's API to download a video file -- big files, but I do that if there's something I really want to save, so that even if they take it down, I've still got it). No big deal -- I'll even subscribe to your channel!

Why fans continue to think this is a “race” is beyond me. Entertaining, sure, but racing? Please . But 3h40m of yellows?. Full course yellow for an engine cover coming off? Why? Regardless of the most minor reason for the full course yellow, here come the blowers and vacuums, lord knows how many laps to “gather” the classes…pass arounds, pits closed. Teams’ strategies? Please, not with the ridiculous full course cautions. IMSA gets what it wants, a close finish. But it’s contrived and gotten annoying for those of us who remember real racing….yellow comes out! Dive into the pits. At green, behind five GT Pro and 8 GT Am? Too bad. Yep, contrived ending.
