2019 SRO America: Virginia International Raceway
Happy Easter everyone!
Next weekend, SRO's Blancpain GT World Challenge America, GT4 America and TC America series are all back in action at VIR. Looking forward to this one, as I'll be taking a road trip to visit VIR for the first time.

TCR is not looking good.

Thanks for the race thread! Spring is in the air and everything is blooming. Should be a beautiful setting for the race.

GT3 dropped as expected, but 17 is still ok, hopefully they gradually gain again through the season too

I love VIR speaking from the standpoint of only ever watched races on tv and never been there in person.
I'm thinking of going as a last minute thing. I work Friday and Sunday morning so would only be able to attend Saturday and keeping in mind it's 650 miles away. I can get a one way rental car for a total of $28 to drive up there Friday afternoon and have Saturday for the races. Then can fly home Saturday night for $49 one way direct flight. Is this crazy? Can someone who's been to VIR chime in about how the track is for spectators or talk me into or out of this? |

Do it! I haven't been before either, but that's totally not crazy. I only decided a few weeks ago to drive to VIR from here in the Midwest. You won't be the only VIR rookie from a long ways away! Last edited by Mechanic Z; 23 Apr 2019 at 01:09. |

I've always wanted to go to VIR, figured it would be for IMSA but this will work. I've done something similar to this going to Barber and to the Indy 500 before where I drove up and flew back real cheap both ways. Beats sitting at home on my day off! ![]() |

@lankeyturtle wife and I went to VIR for the PWC event in 2017 and absolutely loved it. Would love to get back in the near future! Great viewing from all over the circuit

I'm from another country, but I'd say do it as well.
VIR looks like a nice facility. |

I hope to. Not really looking forward to a 10 hour drive in the rain but should be good saturday! Yeah I'm getting excited about it now. If I'd planned it a little sooner or had more than one day off work it wouldn't be a big deal, but if that flight gets delayed I'm screwed at work Sunday morning. I'm just going to assume everything will go smoothly though! |
