2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona

[VoodooBoss]

Two weeks until the 2014 US racing season starts. Who's going to or watching the race? Looks like the Continental Tire race is on Friday. This should be a more interesting season for Ford fans with Ganassi switching to Ford power in the prototype class and with Scott Pruett behind the wheel. With Roush pulling out of GS for 2014 it's nice to see Multimatic back with the Mustangs.

I will be arriving on Friday. What time is the Continental Tires race on Friday?

 

[orng302]

Thanks I might just make it if there are no delays at the airports.

 

[Berol]

I think I'm working all weekend

Ill be getting there on Wednesday at noon, wanted to catch every second. I think there is a CGT practice but I am not sure if my ticket allows attendance, since the 4 day pass starts on Thursday and goes Through Sunday. Still trying to find a place to stay, all the hotels in the area have such crappy reviews....

 

[straightliner1]

Any mention of TV coverage for those of us unable to make it local?

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

Our good friend Mr. captdistraction will be there photographing things

I went last year and it was great. Highly recommend the 'lower tier' races.

Looks like I will likely miss the CTSCC, but will be there for the 24 hours.

Re: 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona FR Video Update

Ford is really promoting this engine a lot. I wonder if we'll see it in a Mustang?

And it looks like the local to me kid will be driving one.

Another notch in his Qualifying belt!

 

[bluemax]

Dang... I don't get Fox Sports 2 with my Dish Network package... I guess more $$$ required!

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Pumped --just figured out I have Fox Sports 2 on Direct TV.

 

[F.D. Sako]

I'm very disappointed the way they are broadcasting all these races... They should just put everything online!
I'm trying to find the continental race since I don't get Fox Sports 2, but no luck.

If I read it right, the full 24hr race may be broadcast online at mrn.com

Impressive for the first time out with a new engine. They took the 3.5L Ecoboost right out of Gary's wife's SHO. ;D
