Arrow MazdaDriverS.com March Track Event

Two Day High-Speed Driver's Education Track Events

A chance to drive on a world class racetrack, voted as one of the top six road courses in America, Virginia International Raceway. VIR's North course features an incredible uphill series of esses followed by a downhill 130' spiral elevation change that will get attention of all participants. Literally a "roller-coaster" race track and a great prelude for the Grand Course in April.

MazdaDriverS.com events feature:
-- Two-day High-Speed Drivers Education (Saturday & Sunday)
-- Drive your own vehicle at speed in a safe controlled environment
-- High-Caliber Instructors assigned to students for on-course sessions
-- Run groups and Classroom sessions tailored to experience levels
-- Eight ~25 minutes sessions for the weekend
-- Many students qualify for solo driving after demonstrating basic safety skills and appropriate on-course behavior

Registration is open for the March event; visit www.MazdaDriverS.com for details and online application.

Aerial photograph of the North and Full courses at Virginia International Raceway. The new Grand course connectors were added after this photograph was taken.

VIR is literally a roller coaster road course, hard to see looking from the top down but the change in elevation is over 130' with a significant number of turns. More photos and videos at www.MazdaDriverS.com

Thats a good price for a 2 day event. Its a bit too close to another event with the club I normally run with, so I will probably pass.

Thanks, perhaps you can join us in June or September.

More photographs of the participants from last year... http://www.mazdadrivers.com/mda_05vir/index.html


Group shot of our event from a few years ago, includes both driver school participants and car show attendees. The March 2006 event is scheduled to be a drivers school only, no professional race teams. Front row: Spencer Racing and Jim Downing attended with their 4 rotor Kudzu's.

That looks like A LOT of fun.

My girlfriend said she'd be interested to go, and I just finished reading the fees/requirements and it says that two drivers can share a car, which is pretty sweet.

Hopefully, if funds permit, I will attend!!
