Team Verstappen hits the mark in overnight in virtual Daytona 24 Hours despite scary moment

 

At the crack of dawn, it is Max Verstappen’s team that leads the iRacing 24 Hours of Daytona, and that’s despite a moment where Verstappen and his team-mates could have been eliminated.

 

The iRacing 24 Hours of Daytona is going well so far for Team Redline, at least in the GTD class. Max Verstappen leads with team-mates Gianni Vecchio and Ole Steinbraten. The trio, racing in a Mercedes AMG, started ninth yesterday, but managed to use the first stint to connect with the podium places.

Early in the evening, Verstappen took the wheel for the first time before darkness set in. During the night at Daytona, they picked up the lead.

The sister car in the GTD class is running in third place at the time of writing, while Team Redline in the GTP class with the BMW Hypercar is having a bit of a tough time and is not on a podium course at the moment.

For that matter, things could have turned out differently for Verstappen and the sister car if the scary moment below had turned out just a little differently.

Verstappen allowed himself to be surprised by Josh Thompson, whose Team Redline sister car has a small moment of imbalance on the approach to the first corner, after which Verstappen hits Thompson.

Thompson was able to continue, but Verstappen spins, after which he is fortunately able to continue on his way.

It was the most memorable moment of my career.”  Brought up in China’s southern Guangdong province, neighbouring Hong Kong, an 18-year-old Feng became the first Chinese player to earn an LPGA tour card in 2007.  The easy-going Feng went on to be the first Chinese player, man or woman, to win a major and lifted 10 LPGA titles during her 14 active years on the tour.  In 2017, Feng became the only Chinese golfer to date to reach the world No 1 ranking.  During a supremely consistent career, Feng registered 18 top-10 finishes in majors, two of them in 2021 even as she was winding down her playing commitments.
