Mark, I've got an extra Porsche VIP parking pass. Please feel free to ping me if you're interested.

Said it before, think the pull in cash lots by the grandstand entrances are underrated. Easy. Then catch trolley to infield. I've done both parking areas.

I prefer Lot 4 and then walk in through turn 4 tunnel.
Always bought Lot 4 in addition to Porsche VIP as it’s a nice option especially from 11pm until the next morning when shuttles are tough to catch. The Porsche transport to the infield typically ends at 11 pm Sat night and earlier on Fri.

Looks like lot 4 is sold out.

My guess is that this will be a record-breaking Rolex24 attendance. Especially if the weather isn’t terrible.
Good luck.
First year I went I parked in the general lot across the street from the track. It was a LONG walk arriving and departing, especially at 2am heading back to the car.

Bring layers and wear comfortable walking shoes. Staying warm after the sun sets is key to enjoying the night racing.

Same take. If you're infield parking and showing day of, better be really early. Sat in line for 2 hrs one year and missed the start.

Hey guys - I have a pair of Porsche VIP tickets I need to sell if anyone is interested. I bought 4 when they went on sale, 2 for me, 2 for a buddy+wife. Buddy+wife can't go. Found a local guy to me who wanted them - then yesterday he asks me "Hey whats the date of the race?" Uh oh... yeah, he bailed.

I'd really like to just get what I paid for the pair - $2,400. Includes a Porsche Corral pass.

I've got these advertised in a few local forums etc. as I'd really not like this to be a $4800 trip LOL.

DM me if you're interested. I already have the parking passes (so we'd need to meet up somehow/somewhere). I was told that the rest of the credentials will be emailed with a barcode they scan at the gate (so I'll update Porsche with your email address, name, etc. on the package I bought.)

All the GT3R's are 2 seconds off pace in the practice sessions so far. (?)

Brittny from Daytona called me yesterday with an offer of 2 4day passes and a parking pass for $300.00 give the track a call and see if they're still available.

Hi all. I have attended Daytona before but this will be my first time as a PCA member. Where is the PCA tent located? I understand we just need a PCA membership card or Porsche key to enter, and there is no charge to get in the tent.

Also, when I have gone in years past, they did allow access onto the grid prior to the race. Anyone know if this is still in place?

I am planning on parking outside the stadium and either walking or catching a trolley in. For those that have not been, it is a lot of walking to get from the outer parking lots and once inside, the track is huge, so takes some time to get to the different viewpoints.

Went to practice yesterday, the cars look and sound amazing!

Porsche Corral is by the kink closer to the west horseshoe, have your key or PCA card and check it out early to see what's planned. They have door prizes, raffles, live video feed, etc. Usually have a drawing for a tour through the hot pits during the race.

Yes, lots of walking but the shuttles take you all over. Grid is open before the race, we usually do that and go up into the grand stands to watch the beginning of the race from different vantage points for the first few hours, then take the shuttle back to the infield.

If yesterday at The Roar was any indication, it is going to be packed with a record crowd.

Default PORSCHE CORRAL PARKING PASS.

I have an extra Porsche Corral parking pass. Hard card that mounts in windshield. So I’d probably have to FedEx today if you want it. $325. Or meet on Thursday morning. Let me know soon.
