The chequered flag has flown on the #7 Porsche and there is still 2 minutes on the clock.
So #7 Penske Porsche wins the Rolex.... last time Penske won the Rolex / Daytona 24hrt was way back in 1969 with a Lola T70!
Cadillac 2nd and the #40 Accura was 3rd. So Button on the outright podium.
Race winner Felix Nasr was confused. It seems Penske pitwall told him to keep racing after the flag just to be safe!IMSA Statement No apologies, just confirming that when the chequer flies its officially over :
“Due to an officiating error in race control, IMSA inadvertently announced and subsequently displayed the white flag with under three minutes remaining in the race. At the end of the lap, the race-leading #7 GTP car then received the checkered flag with 1 minute, 35.277 seconds still remaining, ending the race short of the planned 24 hours by effectively one lap,” .
“Based on Article 49 of the 2024 IMSA Sporting Regulations and Standard Supplementary Regulations, should the checkered flag be inadvertently or otherwise displayed before the leading car completes the scheduled number of laps or before the prescribed time has been completed, the race is nevertheless deemed ended when the flag is displayed.”
