The top tier of race cars at the Rolex 24 at Daytona is the GTP class, and no one was faster in 2026 than the No. 7 Porsche 963 driven by Felipe Nasr, Julien Andlauer, and Laurens Heinrich. Porsche Penske Motorsport captured its third consecutive overall victory at the Rolex 24, with another remarkable endurance performance.
 
After covering more than 2,500 miles, just 1.569 seconds separated first and second place from the No. 31 Cadillac Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R, which is a razor-thin margin after 24 hours of racing.

In the GTP class, every car runs an advanced hybrid powertrain, blending a turbocharged internal combustion engine with an electrified front axle for roughly 700 horsepower and 200+ mph top speeds along Daytona’s long straights. All but 1 run the hybrid powertrain, with the Aston Martin Valkyrie using a naturally aspirated V12. Here’s a look at some of the fastest machines to ever take on the Rolex 24.
