How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Gran Turismo 7 includes Daytona's 2.5-mile tri-oval with its 31-degree banking and the road course used for sports car races. This view looks across the infield grass, with the speedway's name mowed into it, towards the grandstands.
The real place
Daytona International Speedway opened in 1959, moving stock car racing off the sand of Daytona Beach and onto steep banking. It is home to the Daytona 500, the biggest race on the NASCAR calendar, and the Rolex 24 at Daytona sports car race on its road course.
Visiting
The speedway runs guided tours on most non-race days that take you into the infield and onto the banking viewpoint. Daytona Beach itself, where races were once held on the sand, is a ten-minute drive away.
