However, server issues have caused a delay to the race which was due to start at 15:00 CET.

iRacers, our scheduler experienced a technical issue that we are currently evaluating. This timeslot of the Daytona 24h will NOT have a race start. We are evaluating our options to see if we can put up another one in the next hour or so. Stay tuned for more information. — iRacing.com (@iRacing) January 23, 2021
Verstappen has been racing online in virtual events to keep sharp alongside Lando Norris in the past, winning the Spa 24 Hours eSports race in 2019 and Petit Le Mans in 2020. Competing alongside just one teammate, the Dutch Formula 1 driver was hoping to get a lot of seat time and add to his tally of endurance victories in the virtual world. If the race gets going, the Red Bull F1 driver and Juncadella will compete in the #64 BMW M8 at Daytona International Speedway.
