Porsche Penske Motorsport won the 63rd Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 26, 2025, with Felipe Nasr, Nick Tandy and Laurens Vanthoor driving the No. 7 Porsche to a repeat victory.

The packet from The Daytona Beach News-Journal says the team did it again after also winning the 2024 race. The finish came after a tense final hour in which the No. 7 Porsche, the No. 6 Penske Porsche and the No. 60 Acura were all in contention. Nasr passed teammate Matt Campbell with 22 minutes left to move into the lead, and the order held for much of the closing stretch.

The race did not remain a clean one-two battle inside the Penske camp. Tom Blomqvist's Acura eventually passed Campbell in the final five minutes to settle the podium and prevent a full Penske sweep of the top two positions. Even so, the result still gave Roger Penske another major sports-car win and confirmed Porsche's strength over the endurance weekend.

The victory also gave Nick Tandy a unique place in endurance-racing history. The packet says he became the first driver with overall wins in the four major 24-hour races, adding Daytona to previous victories at Le Mans, the Nürburgring and Spa. That personal milestone makes the result more than just a team repeat.

The article also notes that Porsche Penske finished first and third overall, with the No. 6 car in the mix until late. That is an important detail because it shows the team's depth across the final hours rather than a single lucky run. The closing minutes, as described in the source, had the dramatic shape that often defines Daytona: position changes, pressure, and a final sprint after 24 hours of attrition.

Outside the overall result, the race also crowned class winners in LMP2, GTD Pro and GTD. The packet says Sebastian Bourdais and Tower Motorsports won LMP2 with the race's largest margin of victory at 44 seconds. Ford Multimatic Motorsports won GTD Pro, while AWA Corvette took GTD by 1.4 seconds.

That broader class picture matters because the Rolex 24 is not just one race but a whole endurance meeting run across multiple categories. The source also notes that the 24-hour event is followed later in the season by Sebring and other IMSA races, keeping the sports-car calendar moving after Daytona's finish.

Still, the main story is Porsche Penske repeating at the front. Endurance racing rewards consistency, timing and the ability to survive traffic and pressure over a full day. On this occasion, Nasr, Tandy and Vanthoor were the crew that did it best.
