I went couple years ago, first time at Daytona, was cool to be at such a historic venue.  I hadn't thought about going but I will be in Ft Myers at that time, so I might run up Sunday morning and watch the sprint to the finish.

The Rolex 24 at Daytona was a great event. Thanks to Steve for recommending the Audi Motorsports Experience package a few years ago. The Petit Le Mans back in 2011 was our first experience with the Audi group. Nothing like hanging out in a huge suite at Daytona with all the food, drink and swag you can handle. We even got invited to go with a group and climb up to the start/finish tower while the race was going on. Then to top it off, what an amazing race by the Audi R8s in the GT class. Sounds like it is confirmed that Audi will bring the LMP1 cars to Sebring in March for a "farewell" and their normal testing. I would imagine Audi will be there with their fan package again as well. A great way to go down to Daytona or Sebring is to fly out of Lexington on Allegiant Air into Sanford, FL (right outside of Orlando), then pick up a cheap rental car. Allegiant is dirt cheap and a great value and it's a non-stop flight. The other advantage is flying out of & into the two smaller airports. Easy in, easy out.
