Fuel injection for motor sport fans
For motor sport fans feeling the need for a bit of ‘fuel injection’ over the winter months Grandstand Motor Sports (grandstandmotorsports.co.uk) has put together the perfect winning formula with an exclusive five-night package for UK fans to the prestigious Rolex 24 At Daytona in Daytona Beach, Florida from 21- 27 January 2009.Combining winter sun and one of the most spectacular events in the world’s racing calendar this is the perfect trip for fans of endurances races and attracts top drivers from around the globe each year, with ex-Formula 1 star Juan Pablo Montoya and Scotland’s Dario Franchitti being part of last year’s winning Chip Ganassi team.
The Rolex 24 is held at the legendary Daytona International Speedway. With its year-round sunshine and 23 miles of white sandy beaches, it’s a stunning backdrop for those without the stamina to follow the action for the full 24 hours.
For spectators the five-night package costs £1,799 per person and includes return flights from London Gatwick to Daytona Beach, event tickets, accommodation at the newly-renovated oceanfront Hilton, daily shuttle between the hotel and circuit as well as a whole range of other VIP access and hospitality options.
If spectator sport isn’t enough, for the ultimate adrenalin rush, Grandstand can also arrange the race experience of a lifetime with a hot lap of the circuit with Hurley Haywood – winner of five previous Rolex 24 races and three triumphs at Le Mans - at the wheel. The special package also includes all of the above plus a guided garage tour, a behind the scenes tour of the race control tower and a photo opportunity with the winning team in Victory Lane and costs £2,799 per person.
“The Rolex 24 is a must-see motorsports event and with so many activities planned during the 24-hour spectacle, it’s the perfect time to experience all the Daytona International Speedway has to offer,” said Robin Braig, president Daytona International Speedway.
