Kevin Magnussen has admitted teaming up with his father Jan for the Le Mans 24-Hour Race will be “tricky”.
After leaving the Haas F1 team at the end of the 2020 season due to being told his services were no longer required for financial reasons, the 28-year-old Dane is turning his attention to sportscar racing.
He already has a new job lined up, with Magnussen joining the Chip Ganassi Racing team in the 2021 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
In terms of the even more famous Le Mans endurance event, the former McLaren and Renault F1 driver has previously expressed a desire to team up with his father, who has entered the race every year since 1999 and was part of Corvette’s line-up from 2004 to 2019.

The 2014 Corvette C7.R that Chevy raced to victory at the 2015 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring has been listed for sale online for an eye-popping sum of $950,000 USD.
This Corvette C7.R is the third chassis that was manufactured by Pratt & Miller after it introduced the C7.R for the 2014 racing season. Any complete Corvette C7.R would be worth big bucks, but No. 3 is the winningest Corvette C7.R chassis in existence, so it is particularly valuable. Its winning record began when Corvette Racing took back-to-back victories in it at Long Beach and Laguna Seca in 2014 before the team went on to win both the 6 Hours of the Glen and Mosport with the car later that year, as well.
