LILOU WADOUX Commands GTD Field After Historic 6.5-Hour Daytona Safety Car

January 25, 2026

• LILOU WADOUX sits at the front of the GTD field in the #21 AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 as racing resumed after a marathon 6.5-hour safety car period – the longest in motorsport history. While fog turned Daytona into a parking lot overnight, WADOUX and her team maintained their composure and track position to emerge as class leaders when the green flag finally flew again.
• The historic safety car period, called at 00:45 local time due to visibility issues from heavy fog, tested every team’s patience and strategy. Multiple cars cycled through the lead across all classes during the extended caution, but WADOUX’s #21 Ferrari held strong in GTD while other teams dealt with mechanical issues and pit strategy decisions during the unprecedented delay.
• When racing finally resumed, WADOUX led a competitive GTD field that includes Robby Foley in second with the #96 Turner Motorsport BMW and Matt Bell third in the #13 13 Autosport Corvette. Her position at the front puts her in prime position to challenge for a podium finish as the race enters its final stages, proving once again that patience and consistency pay off in endurance racing’s most demanding events.
