Daytona Motorsport was founded in 1990 by Charles Graham, the CEO of the Daytona Group.
The organisation was purchased by Brands Hatch Leisure Group in 1998, which was in turn purchased by Octagon in 1999. In June 2003 the founders of Daytona bought back the organisation.
Notable people that have utilised the Daytona circuits include Sam Bird, Viktor Jensen and Duncan Tappy, as well as Formula 1 racers Lewis Hamilton, Martin Brundle, David Coulthard and Damon Hill.




Venues


Daytona's first venue was an indoor circuit at Wood Lane, London, which opened in 1990. It was followed by a second indoor circuit in London in 1992. The two circuits were joined together to form a "GP Circuit" in 1994, which was visited by Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Sandra Bullock.
As of 2023, Daytona operates three venues in Milton Keynes, Surrey and Tamworth.

Daytona's Manchester venue is located near to Old Trafford. The indoor course is located in a purpose-built, heated 50,000 square feet (4,600 m2) venue that opened in October 2000. This venue is no longer owned by Daytona.
The Milton Keynes venue opened in 1996 as "Daytona International". The venue has three outdoor circuits: an "international circuit" with a length of 1,360 metres (4,460 ft) with 11 corners; a "national circuit" with a length of 900 metres (3,000 ft); and the "north circuit" with a length of 375 metres (1,230 ft).
The venue at Sandown Park, Surrey, has two outdoor circuits. Its "GP Circuit" is 900 metres (3,000 ft) long with eight corners and several straights, while its "Indy Circuit" is 475 metres (1,558 ft) long with five corners and some short straights. The venue has both single and twin-engine karts.
The Priory Park track in Tamworth was previously owned by Tamworth Karting, but closed in January 2014 due to a dispute between the company and the owner of the property. It was purchased by Daytona, and was subsequently extended, with opposition by local residents. Daytona also wanted to increase the number of karts on the track from 12 to 30.
At the Milton Keynes and Sandown Park venues, Daytona have a large fleet of Cadet (Honda Single 160cc), Junior (Honda Single 200cc), Senior (Sodi Single 390cc), and DMAX (Birel 2-stroke 125cc) karts to cater for any driver. At the indoor Manchester venue, Daytona run similar karts but with slightly less power due to the nature of the circuit.
In October 2018, Daytona sold Daytona Manchester, their only indoor facility, to TeamSport Go Karting, to focus on providing racing at their three outdoor tracks. For 2019, Daytona dropped the travelling DMAX Championship to focus on providing racing at their own venues as opposed to travelling to other circuits, much akin to the Club100 brand.
