7. Felix Rosenqvist

Felix Rosenqvist was arguably born in the wrong decade. He does not fit the mould of the modern racer, sticking to a set series or category. He has driven everything from an LMP2 car to an Indy car to a Formula E car over the past 12 months, and will now embark on another new adventure by making his Daytona debut.

Rosenqvist will form part of a star-studded line-up in the #37 Jackie Chan DCR Jota entry in the Prototype class, and while the LMP2 disadvantage against the DPi runners may make overall victory hard to achieve, the team has history for surprises.

And there is also the fact that Rosenqvist is pretty unstoppable in everything he drives. He’s leading the Formula E championship and is highly rated by Chip Ganassi in IndyCar, which may be where his future lies. To make a big splash Stateside with a big display at Daytona would only add to the myth surrounding racing’s latest super-Swede.
