The number one question we get at VIR is “how do I get on the track?” Folks want to drive their street cars, race cars, street bikes and just about anything with wheels on the famed VIR road courses. Consistently ranked as one of the best road courses in America, we can understand your desire to get on track and want to help.
The best way to get regular track time in a car is to join our VIR Motorsports Country Club. Guests are welcome for an introductory day and the only required safety equipment is a helmet. For more information, contact our Director of Club Services Gina Drastal at (434) 822-7700 ext 111 or gdrastal@VIRnow.com.
There are dozens of track days, racing schools and HPDE (High Performance Driving) days at VIR per year. Each has different rules and requirements. The best way to stay up to date is to go to our track calendar on the to visit the links to the various groups that are coming to VIR.
Many of our spectator events have track touring sessions, often to benefit a charitable partner, during the lunchtime break. The cost is generally $10-15 per session.
