The Danish software company extends its collaboration with the former Formula 1 driver for a fourth consecutive year as Magnussen returns to endurance racing with BMW M Motorsport.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Admin By Request is continuing its sponsorship of Kevin Magnussen through 2026, maintaining a partnership that began in 2023. The Aalborg-based software company will support the Danish driver as he enters his second season with BMW M Motorsport, competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship's top Hypercar class aboard the BMW M Hybrid V8. The season includes June's 24 Hours of Le Mans, motorsport's most prestigious endurance event.
Magnussen's 2026 campaign starts this weekend at Daytona International Speedway, where he'll race in the 24-hour event that awards its winners the iconic Rolex Daytona timepiece. Last year, Magnussen and his co-drivers qualified on pole position and ran competitively until the final hour, when an unscheduled pit stop dropped them just outside the podium positions.
"Kevin Magnussen is a highly significant name at the very top level of international motorsport, much like our own ambition to be among the very best globally when it comes to developing software that strengthens IT security. Over the past three years, we have built a strong partnership, and we are pleased to continue the journey with Kevin and his team," said Lars Sneftrup Pedersen, CEO of Admin By Request.
"I am extremely happy and proud to continue my partnership with Admin By Request. We share an ambition to be the best in our respective fields, and I am grateful to continue representing the company as an ambassador, creating awareness and experiences at the world's greatest race tracks – and especially at Le Mans," said Kevin Magnussen.
Following a decade in Formula 1, Magnussen transitioned to endurance racing in 2025, joining BMW M Motorsport as a factory driver for the FIA World Endurance Championship. The eight-race series visits legendary circuits worldwide and currently features the highest manufacturer participation in its history. Magnussen faces competition from Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, Cadillac, Genesis, and Alpine, with Ford and McLaren scheduled to join the grid in 2027.
"Our partnership with Kevin Magnussen began in Formula 1, and we are excited that he now also represents us in the FIA WEC and at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which is watched by millions worldwide. There is arguably no more iconic race in the world, and it has never been more difficult to win. Manufacturers are investing enormous resources into developing the technology behind the advanced hybrid race cars in order to succeed. That fits perfectly with our tech mindset," added Lars Sneftrup Pedersen.
The renewed partnership puts Admin By Request branding on Magnussen's helmet, race suit, and team apparel throughout 2026. This includes a custom-designed Le Mans helmet featuring Admin By Request livery. Fans can follow Magnussen's season through Admin By Request's social media channels on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X, with behind-the-scenes footage, images, competitions, and race updates posted throughout the year.
The 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship features eight endurance races, starting at Qatar's Formula 1 circuit on March 28 and including the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June. Magnussen will also compete in three American IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship events: the 24 Hours of Daytona at Daytona International Speedway, the 12 Hours of Sebring at Sebring International Raceway, and Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta.
