Yep, I did back in the 80s/90s. Fortunate to win our class in 89. Great fun and tough event.

Max Sagoo is a shoo-in, given his stunning performance at Sebring...

Max Angelli seemed to be the fasted if todays Testing is anything to go by.

Obi, I know the guys who run the Team Seattle cars, Synergy Racing. I was lucky enough to spend a race weekend with them at the end of 2005 in Mexico City.

If anyone is interested in Daytona & the Grandam series then try having a look at www.garra-fans.com - the site is run by fans and has a great forum where drivers and team members post.

This years 24 is going to be a hard one to win with so many top line drivers being involved, not just from the sportscar racing world but openwheel & Nascar too.

Sadly I don't think they'll be any TV coverage in the UK but there will be live audio via the official Grandam website at www.grand-am.com.
