Kevin Magnussen will drive in the IMSA SportsCar Championship next year following his Formula 1 exit after being confirmed in 𒐪Chip Ganassi Racing’s DPi line-up.

The Dane was left without a drive in F1 after Haas elected to replace him and teammate Romain Grosjean with an all-rookie line-up consisting of Mick Schumacher and Nikita Ma꧃zepin.

Chip Ganassi Racing announc🍃ed on Thursday that Magnussen had been signed for the full season in 2021 to become teammates with Renger van der Zande as the team returns to prototype racing next year with a Cadillac DPi-V.R.

“If you are in professional racing anywhere in th🦂e world, you know the name Chip Ganassi and what it represents in m🅘otorsports,” said Magnussen.

“Chip has built one of the best racing organisation’s on and off ♏the traꦦck, and you can look back in history and see the tremendous record of success, especially as it relates to sports car racing.

“It’s 👍a great opportunity for myself to team up with CGR, Renger and Cadillac. I can’t wait to get started, meet the team and be😼gin preparations for the 2021 season.”

Two-time 24 Rolex at Daytona winn🌞er Van der Zande said: “I’ve been fortunate enough to have rac🅘ed and won with Scott [Dixon] in sports cars and I think he really embodies what the whole Chip Ganassi Racing organisation is all about.

“It’s a first-class operation and the team knows how to win the big races. One of the things that stood out to me was hearing t🌸hat as a former driver, Chip always wanted to create and build a team that he would want to drive for.

“He has certainly done that, and those results speak for themꦇselves across many series around the world. I think Kevin and I are both excited to say the leaꦿst, and ready to get the 2021 season started at Daytona.”
