K-Mag as steady as he goes at Daytona

40

Kevin Magnussen and his Chip Ganassi Racing's teammates were sitting tight at the top of the field with a little under ten hours to go in the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

CGR's #1 Cadillac - steered by Magnussen, Renger van der Zande and Scotti Dixon - enjoyed a trouble-free run through the night at the Speedway, save for a pit road speed limit infringement by the Kiwi.

However, with five cars on the same lap it's a battle royal at the front among the top contenders. But fighting for top honours is exactly what Magnussen signed up for.

Go K-Mag!

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
