Hey Mitchell count me in from Atlanta.

I'd like to go to Sebring too. Sebring is more historic and 12 hours is probably easier than 24. But Sebring is in the middle of nowhere and accommodations are nil. What do you think would be more fun? Daytona in January or Sebring in March?

I love Sebring, but to do it right it's a commando camping experience that's not suitable for everyone. My son was 8 when he saw his first topless woman there.

I will offer accommodations to anyone who wants to do Sebring, but still sleep in a bed. I am 65 miles...about 1:20 min (1 hr if following Sinovac) from Sebring.

East coast (N&S from Vero Beach) is a little farther, maybe 90 miles.

I'm in Venice, two hours away from Sebring and can accommodate topless women.

That's perfect Howard. My 80 year old Aunt Martha has wanted to see the race at Sebring ever since she retired from her position as a correctional officer at Rikers Island. I'll give her your cell number. She can text you some pictures.

Booth would be cool but I think the Fan fair in the first race of 2016 racing season at Daytona and the First debut race of the GT would be more exciting and there's more to offer in Daytona as well.. ( food, hotels etc.. ) my 2 cents

Agree - Way more stuff in Daytona area, than Sebring, to do...

No problem, Sinovac. In Venice, FL she would be the hot new chick in town.

I'll probably try and go to both anyways. Sebring has some historical value on new GT program as well. It may have already been there... :wink

Doing Both is easy for me . The GT 40's had some good history at Daytona too! Since it's the first sports car race of any type here in the USA there seems to be more media hype. the the return of the GT will make it extra special !!

She'll bring the average age down and raise the average IQ.

So then Sebring is more fun.

been to both the 24 and the 12 hour. The 24 is in Daytona, just 1 hr from Orlando. Also, Daytona Rising (the $500 million renovation) will be complete for January 2016 Rolex 24.

Sebring 12hr is in the middle of no-where.

Daytona is bigger, more to do and is beautiful in late january

Can someone with Rolex 24 spectator experience give some advice on tickets? A friend told me that some types sell out early.
