FAQs

The number one question we get asked 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 the track and want to help.

Many of our spectator events have track touring sessions which often benefit a charitable partner. These highway-speed sessions typically are offered during the lunchtime break and have a donation cost of around $10 to $20 per session. We also host a spring open house and fall holiday laps event where we offer a day of track touring that benefits local charities. You can find our track touring event dates on our track calendar.

There are also dozens of track day groups, racing schools, and high-performance driver education programs that come to VIR each year. Each group has different rules and safety requirements. The best way to stay up to date on groups coming to VIR is to go to our track calendar. Click on a group listed on the calendar and you will see additional information about that group.

And finally, the best way to get regular track time in your car is to join the VIR Club. VIR Club members enjoy 18 driving days each year plus many additional benefits, from free access and parking on all VIR spectator events to discounts on purchases at the track. Have a look at the VIR Club page to learn more about becoming a VIR Club member.

Camping at VIR is permitted during all spectator events. If the group renting a VIR track has made advance arrangements to offer camping, then camping may be offered on other event dates. When camping is available, campers are charged $35 per event for tents and $50 per event for RVs. Electricity may be available on a first-come, first-served basis for $30 per event. These rates do not apply to pro event weekends.

VIR has 9 premium RV camping sites in the north paddock near the false grid. Premium sites offer water, sewer, and electric hookups. We also have 8 sites in the south paddock that DO Not have electricity and water. Rates for premium RV sites vary by weekend and the premium sites can be reserved in advance through the lodging office at 434-822-7700 extension 101.
