Adjusted starting grid for 2026 Daytona 24 Hours after polesitter disqualified

The #31 Cadillac Whelen outfit will no longer start on pole position for the 2026 Rolex 24, otherwise known as the Daytona 24 Hours. Former F1 driver Jack Aitken had secured overall and GTP pole on Thursday afternoon; however, the car failed post-qualifying technical inspections. As a result, it was disqualified from the session and bumped to the back of the class. It has promoted the #93 Acura Meyer Shank Racing entry to pole and the #40 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing to second. Attention will also be on the second row in the GTP category, as the #7 Porsche Penske outfit starts fourth in its pursuit of a third consecutive Rolex 24 victory. On its top-class Daytona debut, Aston Martin will start last in GTP. In LMP2, the #43 Inter Europol Competition squad lines up on class pole and 12th overall, with the #99 AO Racing car alongside on the front row. In the GT classes, it is the #3 Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports on GTD Pro pole and 25th overall — the leading GT category — following an exceptional lap by Alexander Sims. Paul Miller Racing’s #1 BMW M4 GT3 Evo lines up second in class, with six manufacturers represented in the top six. Finally, in the GTD class, the #27 Heart of Racing Team Aston Martin claimed class pole and 40th overall in the 60-car field. Starting last in GTD and on the grid overall is the #16 Meyer Shank Racing entry, featuring former F1 driver Romain Grosjean. The race gets under way on Saturday afternoon in Daytona, with an estimated start time of 13:40 EST (18:40 GMT).

The former F1 drivers competing in the 2026 Daytona 24 Hours

The 64th running of the Rolex 24 Hours at the Daytona International Speedway this weekend is shaping up to be a star-studded endurance classic, with several former Formula 1 drivers set to take on one of motorsport’s toughest challenges. Leading the charge in the top prototype GTP class is Kevin Magnussen, the Danish racer with 185 F1 starts for McLaren, Renault and Haas. Now part of BMW’s factory programme, Magnussen will share driving duties in the #25 BMW M Team WRT with Marco Wittmann, Philipp Eng and Raffaele Marciello. Brazilian driver Felipe Nasr is another ex-F1 competitor contesting the overall honours. Nasr, who raced for Sauber between 2014 and 2016, will co-pilot the #7 Porsche Penske Motorsport with Laurin Heinrich and Julien Andlauer, a squad looking for a third consecutive overall win. Will Stevens and Jack Aitken—both with brief Formula 1 histories—are also entered in GTP machinery. Stevens is in the #10 Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing DEX, while Aitken drives the #31 Cadillac Whelan with teammates Earl Bamber, Frederik Vesti and rising NASCAR star Connor Zilisch. The LMP2 class features multiple ex-F1 names. Former American driver Logan Sargeant will compete for #18 Era Motorsport alongside Naveen Rao, Ferdinand Habsburg and Jacob Abel. More endurance experience comes from Sebastien Bourdais, a former Toro Rosso driver who lines up for #8 Tower Motorsports. Last year's race was dramatic for Bourdais as he claimed a famous win, before a post-race penalty dropped his team to last. Another ex-F1 figure is Paul di Resta, with the #22 United Autosports. Pietro Fittipaldi, another driver with ties to the Haas F1 team, completes the former-F1 contingent in LMP2. In the GTD ranks, two ex-F1 drivers bring additional pedigree to the category. Romain Grosjean, who competed in 179 F1 races, is back behind the wheel in a GT3-class Ford Mustang, while Marcus Ericsson pilots a Lamborghini Huracán GT3.
