Garage Day Raut will contest the Sixties Endurance championship finale at Daytona from 10 to 15 November, bringing its competition programme to one of motor racing’s most storied venues. The Florida circuit, home to the legendary 24 Hours, provides the championship stage for this final round, and the team has structured five days that blend serious competition with the ceremonial theatre endurance racing demands.

The schedule unfolds across three trackday sessions, two free practice runs, one qualifying session and four racing encounters. The succession of on track action mirrors the intensity that drew Garage Day Raut into endurance competition in the first place: the machinery driven hard, the drivers rotated through shifts, the vigilance required to see a car through to the chequered flag across the hours. Daytona’s broad banking and exacting technical sections will test both the vintage machinery and the commitment of the team.

The championship itself celebrates the golden age of endurance racing, when professional drivers and gentleman amateurs shared seats in sports cars built during the 1960s, machines that married engineering rigour to aesthetic restraint. Racing at Daytona, competing under the Peter Auto banner, Garage Day Raut joins a grid of similarly devoted competitors who have chosen to spend their season pursuing a particular strain of automotive grace: racing as it was, on circuits that shaped it, in cars that still reward precision and bravery in equal measure.
