Since this is the inaugural entry of an Audi in the 24 Hours of Daytona, we thought it would be appropriate to help educate you on the best way to watch the race, and how to keep up with the event throughout the weekend. Here is a handy guide to help you through the event, and make sure you don’t miss anything important! QuattroWorld will be there all weekend starting tomorrow, and we will be updating our Facebook and Twitter feeds with the latest information so please make sure you follow us.

Watch Online Listen to Radio Le Mans
We are just huge fans of Radio Le Mans. They make the races we attend a joy because we never have to guess what is going on, we always have Radio Le Mans playing in our headphones every minute of the race, especially when we are out shooting photos. If you are at home watching the race on the live stream, I encourage you to turn off the volume of the Speed feed and try turning up the Radio Le Mans commentary, I think you will thank me later!
Download the spotters guide
Every time we attend a race, one of our first steps is to print out a high res copy of Andy Blackmore’s amazing spotters guides. This event’s spotter’s guide is up and ready for you to download!
