Kevin Magnussen, an experienced Formula 1 driver, transitions to sports car racing as he joins BMW M Motorsport's L.M.D.h. program. After over 180 F1 races, he opted for sports cars, partly to stay close to his family. He will participate in the F.I.A. World Endurance Championship and IMSA WeatherTech races. Magnussen's move taps into his family heritage in racing, with his father being a veteran in the sport, and highlights his previous experience in IMSA, making this a familiar territory for him.
It's good to be racing, I'm happy to be going back to sports car racing.
I considered the IndyCar Series, but with two young daughters I was reluctant to uproot my family to the U.S. full time.
My father is a sports car veteran, with four class wins at Le Mans and one at Daytona.
I jumped in the pool, I couldn't swim, he said. So he was in a suit, dressed up for some gala thing that he was going to.
