GRM Experience at the Rolex 24 At Daytona Presented by Pirelli Tire and Mazda

GRM Experience at the Rolex 24 At Daytona Presented by Pirelli Tire and Mazda

Jan. 22 - Jan. 25Daytona Beach, FL

The Rolex 24 At Daytona is one of the biggest motorsports events in the entire free universe. We’re talking about the stars from Indy, Formula 1, endurance racing, NASCAR and more. It’s an automotive battle royal of biblical proportions.

And since the Rolex is held within a stone’s throw of GRM World HQ, it’s the perfect place for us to hold our annual season kickoff party with the GRM Experience. Ticket-holders will enjoy infield, grandstand and garage access as well as a Saturday night barbecue and garage tours. Our tent will also host iRacing computer racing, a live event feed, and 24-hour slot car racing courtesy of The Race Place and 132slotcar.us.

Mazda and Pirelli—two companies who definitely support our scene—have gotten involved in the event and will have people on hand to answer questions and generally entertain the crew. We hear that Pirelli has a new R-compound tire in the works, while Mazda boasts more participation in American sports car racing than any other manufacturer.

Need a place to stay? The Emerald Shores Hotel is providing a special rate. Just call them at (386) 872-4500 and tell them Grassroots Motorsports sent you, or enter GRM as the special rate code online.

Unfortunately, tickets to the GRM Experience are now sold out. If you’re still going to the Rolex 24, you’re welcome to stop by our tent and visit with us. We’ll be glad to see you, although we won’t feed you.
