Daytona 24 hours 2014- can't find any ticket info...

[Pompeydave]

Hi all,

Does anyone know where I can buy tickets for the 2014 Rolex 24 hours at Daytona? Having been a Le Mans regular since 1991, myself and Mrs Pompeydave are taking the Daytona plunge for the first time next year. Trouble is we can't find even find it listed on the Daytona site, let alone any links to buy tickets.

Silly question, is the race on? If so, how do I buy tickets? Any newbie tips would also be appreciated. We're looking to drive in and stay in a hotel on race night rather than camp.

Cheers in advance...

Ok, thanks, I'd found that link already, but it's very vague, with no info at all other than the date of the race. By contrast, theres always plenty of Le mans information on the net almost a year in advance of each race, but for Daytona there seems to be nothing. Unless there's no demand for pre-booking and everyone just rocks up on the weekend?

[Pompeydave]

Ok thanks. A google search for previous years pics seems to indicate that from the sparsely populated stands it indeed looks like we can just turn up on the day. What sort of price are the tickets?

[Pompeydave]

Ok guys, thanks for the advice. We're already going to Florida that week anyway for a winter break, so the 24 will be the one we go with to start off. Looking forward to it!

Day fagging I think. We'd be based in Davenport for a week but would have a night in a Daytona hotel for just the Saturday. Nothing special, just a cheapie somewhere-to-put-your-head for the night type place. Ideally, we'd only be away from the circuit for 6-8 hours.

Silly question, what time does the race start?

[Pompeydave]

Ok, thanks for the advice. We're going to be in a villa in Davenport, so we'll either go back there to crash for a few hours or head out of Daytona as you suggest to find a cheapie hotel somewhere.

Is there any radio commentary on site? Doesn't look as if RadioLeMans broadcast at the track. Would like to be able to keep up with what's going on if possible...

Don't suppose there's Wi-fi at the track is there? I could pick up the live feed from RLM that way albeit with a delay I would imagine...

+1. Thanks for all the tips chaps. Not long to go now

[Pompeydave]

We're flying in on Thursday and will be staying in a villa in Davenport near Orlando. Think we'll just rock up on the Saturday morning and drive back to the villa for a few hours shuteye before going back for the last few hours. Can't wait to be honest! Thanks for all the hints and tips everyone
