Wright Motorsports Earns Bittersweet Second Place at Rolex 24 at Daytona.
DAYTONA, Fla. (January 27, 2025) – Under sunny Florida skies on Sunday afternoon, Wright Motorsports secured an impressive podium finish at the 63rd Rolex 24 at Daytona.

Racing the No. 120 Porsche 911 GT3 R, the team delivered a remarkable second-place result in the grueling 24-hour endurance event. However, the achievement came with a bittersweet note, as a late-race caution dashed their hopes of victory in the final hour.
Ayhancan Güven's views on the race
This is the end of my first Daytona with Wright Motorsports and my teammates. We scored second place and I think everyone on the team did an amazing job. I’m really proud of us as a group. It was my first race with Wright and in IMSA. I really enjoyed working with them. As a group, they are really professional. The race was all about surviving in the first hours, which we managed. We had a great race car. We were careful in the last part in the race and brought the car back in one piece. We were leading until the last pit stop, and then there was a super unlucky full course caution where I was coming to pit, but they closed the pit. Unfortunately, I was out of fuel and it was my in-lap. This cost us an emergency stop and then a penalty. We went from first to ninth, and we were the last car the lead lap. In the last 40 minutes they told me to go all in. I tried my best and it was only second place. If we had ten more minutes, we could have made it. I’m so proud of the performance we showed.
