High-Speed Drivers’ Education – June 16-17, 2007

With less than 24 spots remaining, the Grand East at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) provides a chance to drive one of the longest road courses in North America.

The hard to come by Grand East at VIR is a technically challenging racetrack, featuring 4.2 miles in length, an incredible 34+ turns with multiple elevation changes in excess of over 500’ in but just one lap.

The Grand East course is literally a roller coaster track with elements of two courses combined, a tight configuration of the Patriot Course and the wide open Full course combined into one. High speed uphill climbing esses, "blind" drops, cascading rollercoaster spiral downhills, over 34 turns, and many undulations that take years to master.

VIR has consistently been voted to one of the top six road courses in America. A world class race facility to drive.
