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, 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.

Kevin Magnussen, despite transitioning to the IMSA championship, will maintain an active involvement with the Haas Formula 1 team, according to team boss Ayao Komatsu. His experience and insights will likely contribute to the team's development and performance in the 2025 season.
