Daytona. The arena.

One of only a small handful 24-hour races, winning the Daytona 24 is one of the most coveted achievements in modern racing.

Roar | Day Three

As we entered the track early Sunday morning the mood for those of us at MSM was more saddened. The first true 'track weekend' of the season will be over in a few short hours. Happiness is quickly restored as the cars are being rolled out of the garages and started. Fuel was topped off for the morning sessions. It's time to set some fast laps!

Roar | Day One

While much of the US was recovering from a cold snap just 24 hours previously the sunny skies and mid 60s to 70s welcomed the teams as they unloaded their machines in preparation for 3 full days of testing at Daytona International Speedway. Excitement was high as a slew of new cars were set to turn wheels in anger and work out any potential kinks that might arise. The Grand-Am Rolex and Continental Tire series is becoming quite the international stew as Ferrari, Audi and Dodge join the ranks of Rolex. Not to be outdone the Continental Tire series sees a new entry from Aston Martin in the form of the Vantage.
