Drive the legendary and world-class Virginia International Raceway (VIR), Full 3.3-mile racecourse at speed. Be part of our two-day, high-speed driver’s school weekends on the picturesque and challenging VIR circuits.
Drive the Full Course at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) on Saturday and Sunday, August 29-30. Registration open.
The Full Course features an incredible number of turns and elevation changes on the 3.3 mile circuit, and over 300' in elevation changes in but just one lap. High caliber In-car and Classroom instruction, tailored to experience levels. VIR is a world-class facility. Significant elevation and camber changes (including negative) incorporated with decreasing radius corners positioned on vertical drops.
An excellent track for those wanting a challenge that is a blast to drive whether its your first time out or for the experienced drivers, a track that will take years to master. Participants that have not driven the Full Course at VIR will enjoy themselves immensely; experienced drivers may fine tune their skills. Various run groups based on experience and horsepower, so there is a group for everyone to fit in just fine.
VIR Full Course is a very rare opportunity to drive and this configuration is our last opportunity for 2009.
