For the first time in a very long time, Porsche will have a factory motorsport presence participating in the 24 Hour of Daytona. A lot has changed since Porsche last competed, and nothing more so than technology. Aside from the usual television and radio broadcasts, today we have online streaming, live in-car video, and most importantly, the world of social media.
For long endurance races like this one, Twitter can be an invaluable source of information. Not only can Twitter provide an up-to-the-minute view of what’s happening in the race, it can connect you with intimate details and insight from the drivers and teams themselves. In fact, I know of no other way to stay as closely and accurately informed about what’s happening in the Porsche world before, during and after the race (even if you were at the event itself) than through the “Twittersphere”. You just need to know who to follow.

The link the Porsche fan's guide (http://flatsixes.wpengine.com/porsche-motorsports/porsche-fans-guide-daytona-24/) doesn't exist. Typo in the URL? Or perhaps you just don't have it ready yet.?
Sorry, oversight on our part. That link should have said coming soon. It will publish shortly. We're waiting on one of the key resources.
The link should be working now...
