Daytona International Speedway is available to drive in Fortnite’s Rocket Racing now.
In anticipation of NASCAR’s visit to the Floridian track for the Daytona 400 this weekend, a heavily stylised version of the track has made its way to Epic Games’ free-to-play online racer Rocket Racing, itself an offshoot of the ludicrously popular third-person shooter Fortnite.
The NASCAR and Rocket Racing relationship began in July this year after the Chicago Street Circuit was added to Psyonix’s over-the-top racing title, providing a semi-realistic depiction of the treacherous track.
However, Daytona’s authors have used a little more creative freedom, draping the environment in pink and purples, with the trackside furniture typically bold and in-your-face. It’s perfectly juxtaposed with how seriously the real-world championship is being currently taken, with only a couple of Playoff spots left in the race for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series.
Players can gain access to the new track by inputting ‘6126-3930-0814’ in the search field on the game’s main menu.
