Ladies and gentlemen start your engines! The Daytona International Speedway, a 60,000 sq-ft (18,000 sq-m), interactive motor-sports attraction, hosts Winston, Nascar, stock and sports-car, go-cart, monster truck, and motorcycle races. The place goes crazy in February when the “World Center of Racing” hosts the Daytona 500, one of the biggest car racing events in the world.

When there aren't any races, you can get a peek of the track for free. Adjacent to the speedway, race-car fans can take a Pit Stop Challenge, a 30-minute tram tour of the track, or roar up to 200 mph (320 km/h) in a spectacular simulator for a virtual reality-like race against other passengers in Acceleration Alley.

Other attractions include an action-packed IMAX film, a 30-minute tram tour of the track, and the actual winning car from the Daytona 500 every year - scratches, dents and all!

Doing what: NASCAR Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway

The race itself was fantastic, but the trip there and back was an absolute mess, the bus was about an hour and a half late to pick us up from the hotel. We then drove around in circles in Orlando for 2 hours to pick other people up, the bus then broke down on the freeway and no explanation was given. We all thought we were gonna miss the race, the bus driver got off without a word to the passengers and 'fixed' the bus, half an hour later we were on our way again. We had to leave straight after the race and didn't get back to our hotel till around 3am. This tour was still good value for money but if your a die hard race fan and want to spend more time at the track I don't recommend it.

The race itself was great, but we were the first picked up and the last dropped off, which meant we spent up to 3 hours longer in the bus then everyone else. We also arrived at Daytona to find out that instead of the caps we were supposed to receive as per our itinerary we got cushions. This meant we had to buy caps as we never brought one with us. Caps were more expensive than cushions. We were not seated in the towers facing the pit lane but on the opposite side of the track. It would have worked out better for us to have bought the tickets direct and driven there ourselves.
