VIR features an incredible number of turns and elevation changes on the 3.3 mile circuit. Over 260' 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.
