Absolutely - I crossed the Atlantic in 2019 to go and see the Daytona 24 Hours (well, 22 and a bit...) and I was really impressed at how it felt like Le Mans in the 'old days'.
Good viewing of the whole track, places you could get photos without catch fencing and the cars 100s of metres away and no expensive grandstands spoiling the view for the ordinary punters who didn't have their ticket paid for as a corporate guest.
I'd go back to Daytona anytime, but I doubt I'll ever go back to Le Mans, despite doing over 30 races in the past.
