SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Flex-Box will adorn the No. 44 Aston Martin Vantage GT3 once again for Magnus Racing. While the team returns their primary sponsor, they also have named Nicki Thiim as their final driver for the upcoming 61st Rolex 24 At Daytona.
Competing alongside Thiim will be team regulars John Potter, Andy Lally, and Spencer Pumpelly.
The team previously revealed plans to run in all four IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship endurance races with Potter, Lally, and Pumpelly, with the remaining sprint races to be determined at a later date.
Thiim is an Aston Marton Racing Factory Driver and two-time WEC Champion. Having secured victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 24 Hours of Nürburgring and the FIA World Endurance Championship, Thiim’s track record speaks for itself.
“The Rolex 24 At Daytona is one of my personal highlights of the year,” Thiim said. “To go there with all that Aston Martin and Magnus Racing with Flex-Box have done in IMSA over the years is a great opportunity. The fact that the Magnus crew did so well last year gives you a little more confidence to go there and do well for everyone.
“The Rolex 24 is the start of every season, and one of the top-three races every driver wants to do and do well in. Going from winter break straight to fighting a big battle is super awesome and exciting!”
