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.

Funnily enough I'm exactly the same, Daytona still retains what it always had (as does the Nordschliefe) whereas in my opinion Le Mans has gone down hill over the years, for me it started when the Pits were renewed and year on year there have been more & more restrictions. I last went in 2017 and wont be back. Probably be stoned now for heresy!
