Daytona 24 Recap

The 2026 iRacing Daytona 24 marked Aculeus Racing’s first 24-hour race as an endurance team. It was a day, night, and day of good pace. Poor standards crept into the race from other drivers on track and sent the 33 Aculeus Racing Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R to the pits several times.

Going into this race, consistency and survival were the focus points and on that metric, it was a major success. The drivers finished in the Top-20 in class despite the challenges throughout.

Drivers:

• Jelle Wils

• Jack Vincent-Spall

• Sebastian Cerkiewnik

• Rodney Roberts

• Nathan Melnychuk

• Aaron Fontaine

QUOTES

Daniel Borgertpoepping, Team Owner

“I’m so proud of the team for surviving its first 24-hour race and continually bouncing back from adversity to capture a top-20 finish in class. This is the exact start in 24-hour racing that I hoped to see and the drivers delivered in a big way. Now we’re fully focused on Bathurst.”
