Thread: Zakaj Daytona 24 ur should dogajati se vaš vedro seznam

Čustva, dediščine in super vreme, da Daytona 24 Ur mora-glej motorsport eventLast noč stal sem gledal 60 športnih avtomobilov thundering do mene na 200mph pred zavorni za vklop ena na Daytona International Speedway. To je najbolj globokih motorsport izkušnje Ive kdaj naletel na.
Krog po naročju voznik prišel, ohranjanje prekrasno hitrost, neverjetno koncentracijo in še posebej pri vnašanju koraku, turn, tri velike kroglice.
Na Daytona v 24 Urah ni na prvi sportscar dirko Sem bil, da – daleč od tega, ampak to je tisti, ki mi je dala razumeti, kaj vzdržljivosti dirke je vse okoli. Na Daytona, ki ste se počutili kot del predstave, in boste lahko dobili desno, gor blizu nje. Tudi če ste se upokojili, da je udobje v hotelu, soba za nekaj ur, da ste dovolj blizu, da rawness je vse res počutim, čustva ekipe, voznike in ljubitelje.
Seveda, pomaga, da Daytona je ikona kraj, in kamorkoli greste tukaj so spomnil in učil o zgodovini in dediščino kraja ves čas.
In medtem ko to zgodovino podpira posebno naravo dogodka, dirko ima vse sodobne fan bi želeli. Organizatorji storiti vse za zagotovitev, da oboževalci prihajajo prvič, ali ste kampiranje na je parcela ali uživajo rarefied vzdušje prvakov kluba-ki za razumno dnevni tarifi, je odprta za vsakogar.
Ta vikend, kot redni fan, sem bil bližje gonilnike, garaže, mehanike, skladbo – zal veliko vse ukrepe – kot so doživeli nikjer drugje. Ker tek je dolg 24 ur, sem imel priložnost gledati iz več lokacij, vse od njih ponuja neprekinjeno pregled nad dogajanjem na progi. Sem jedel dobro in ljubil Drugarstvo med navijači-dolgo v noč Florida-, ki si lahko privoščijo le 24-urni dirki takole.
Kaj pa Le Mans, boste morda vprašati? Razlika tukaj je, da lahko še vedno dobite blizu te ograje v zal veliko sleherni vantage spot.
Ta čustva so ujete me presenetilo. Sprijaznimo se, športnih dirkalnikov dirke je daleč manj kot Nascar in IndyCar v ZDA v profil in občinstvo številke, vendar z združitvijo seriji Grand-Am Nascar in serije American Le Mans, je prepričana, da bo svojo novo Tudor Združeno prvenstvo športnih dirkalnikov bi slava dni nazaj v športnih dirkalnikov dirke v ZDA dirki organizator IMSA.
Od kar sem videl ta vikend, imajo vso pravico biti prepričani,, in kaj več, Daytona je lahko ključ do vložitve zahtevka za svetovno središče avtomobilizem nosijo več resnice, kot je morda to ne v tem trenutku. Z stopničke danes podrazredi francoske, portugalske in Brazilske zastave (na žalost, brez Brit ta čas), to je resnično international series in pridobivanje bolj in bolj svetovno pozornost.
Seveda, je daleč priti, ampak jaz bi pozivam vsakogar z strast za motorsport naj obisk na 24-urni dirki tukaj visoko na seznamu bucket športnih prireditev, da se udeležijo.

Emotion, heritage and great weather make the Daytona 24 Hours a must-see motorsport eventLast night I stood watching 60 sports cars thundering towards me at 200mph before braking for turn one at Daytona International Speedway. It was the most visceral motorsport experience Ive ever encountered.
Lap after lap the drivers came, maintaining breathtaking speed, incredible concentration and, especially when entering turn three abreast, huge balls.
The Daytona 24 Hours is not the first sportscar race Ive been to – far from it – but it is the one that has made me understand what endurance racing is all about. At Daytona, you feel part of the show, and you can get right up close to it. Even if you retire to the comfort of a hotel room for a few hours, you're close enough to the rawness of it all to really feel the emotions of the teams, drivers and fans.
It helps, of course, that Daytona is an iconic venue, and wherever you go around here you are reminded and taught about the history and the heritage of the place at all times.
And while that history underpins the special nature of the event, the race has everything a modern fan could want. Organisers do everything to ensure that fans come first, whether they're camping on the infield or enjoying the rarefied atmosphere of the Champions Club – which, for a reasonable daily fee, is open to anyone.
This weekend, as a regular fan, I have been closer to the drivers, the garages, the mechanics, the track – pretty much all the action – than I have experienced anywhere else. Because the race is 24 hours long, I've had the chance to watch from multiple locations, all of them offering an uninterrupted view of the action on track. I've eaten well and loved the camaraderie amongst fans – long into the Florida night – that only a 24-hour race like this can afford.
What about Le Mans, you might ask? The difference here is that you can still get up close to that fence at pretty much every vantage spot.
These emotions have caught me by surprise. Let's face it, sportscar racing is a long way short of Nascar and IndyCar in the US in both profile and audience numbers, but with the merger of Nascar's Grand-Am series and the American Le Mans series, race organiser IMSA is confident that its new Tudor United SportsCar Championship will bring the glory days back to sportscar racing in the US.
From what I've seen this weekend, they have every right to be confident, and whats more, Daytona could be the key to making their claim to be the world centre of motorsports carry more truth than perhaps it does at the moment. With the podium today hoisting French, Portuguese and Brazilian flags (sadly, no Brit this time), it's a truly international series and gaining more and more global attention.
Sure, it's a long way to come, but I would urge anyone with a passion for motorsport to put a visit to the 24-hour race here high up on your bucket list of sporting events to attend.
