The Daytona 24h is considered by many the most prestigious endurance special event in iRacing’s lively esports scene, and this year’s edition just ended, crowning its winners.
As in many real endurance events, participants were split into three classes, all racing on the same circuit, but directly competing only with drivers in the same class.
The GTP/Hypercars class was won by #2 Drago Racing, with the team composed of Dries Van Langendonck, Nicolas Mateo, and Michael Romanidis.
Below you can find the full results for the class.
The LMP2 class was won by #003 Grid-and-Go.com eSports, driven by Aleix Nogué, Jesse Telkkälä, Balazs Remenyik, and Peter Zuba.
The full results can be seen below.
The slower but no less challenging GTD class was won by the #6 Williams F1 Team Gaming, driven by Parker White, Matias Orjuela, and Matteo Kuenzer. The #1 from the same team closely followed in second place.
If you want to enjoy the race for yourself, you can watch the recording of the livestream below, split into 4 videos.
If you’re unfamiliar with iRacing, it’s a subscription-based, esports-focused racing simulation platform on PC considered by many to be one of the most realistic in the industry. It features precisely simulated cars and LIDAR-scanned tracks that reproduce their real counterparts, making it popular among many real racing drivers who use it for training.
It’s also an attractive esports platform as it features racing regulations closely related to the ones used in real motorsports to create an online esports environment that feels as professional as possible, encouraging clean racing, racecraft, and fair play over winning or placing high in the rankings (albeit the events described in this article cast some shadow on these ideals).
iRacing partners with several real-world racing series and organizations, including Nascar, IMSA, the FIA, and many more.
Lately, the company behind the platform launched iRacing Studios, extending its reach to console gaming and simulation with the iRacing Arcade, Nascar 25, and an IndyCar sim coming at some point in 2026.
