Filipe Albuquerque wins the 24 hours of Daytona
He started from 5th place on the grid and ended up in the place where he was most used to being during the year 2020.
The world and European endurance champion shone on American soil in what was the first race for the new Wayne Taylor Racing team at the wheel of the Accura. Albuquerque, who shared the drive with Ricky Taylor, Helio Castroneves and Alexander Rossi, started the race and it was he who took car # 10 to the finish line.
In a race where the changes in position were constant, the fight between the DPi, the main class of the race, was intense and full of competitiveness. Still, Filipe Albuquerque pulled from the gallons and repeated the victory to the general, which he had already conquered in 2018.
In this event also highlighted by the Portuguese João Barbosa, who finished the race in second place in the LMP3 category behind the wheel of the Ligier JS P320 Nissan of the Sean Creech Motorsport team.
