I would love to go to this event. So far my Porsche Club here in Tampa has said nothing about it.

I'm pretty much a blank slate as far as these events go, so fill me in.
1-- Once you're in the corral, can you take your car in-and-out ?
2--Where does one rest, catch a few zzzz's--in a tent, or what ?
3--I like camping in tents--CAN one camp in a tent in an infield ?
4--Do you bring your own food and eat at the race, or are there restaurants or sandwich or burger places on the race site, or what ?
5--Do you sit in an assigned seat, or can you wander around and see the race from different areas ?
6--Any other interesting tidbits I haven't thought of/asked about ?
I went to a couple of the old IMSA GTP races in New Orleans years ago, and my son and I wandered all over the course, seeing the race from different street corners, straightaways, etc., and that was a BLAST. But, that was city streets and not a long endurance race, hence the above questions.
That was much fun, and I've been wanting to go see multi-class, road-course, sport car racing ever since.
