Exclamation VIR Grand Course 4.2 mile HPDE Track Event

4.2 Mile VIR Grand Course Track Event MazdaDriverS.com

Track Event - 4.2 mile VIR Grand East June 12-13, 2010

The only VIR Grand Course weekend event for Automobiles in 2010. Same configuration as Car and Driver's annual Lighting Lap.

With less than 30 spots remaining, the Grand Course at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) provides a chance to drive one of the longest world class road course in North America.

The hard to come by Grand Course 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 600’ in but just one lap.

The Grand 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 rated as one of the top six road courses in America. A world class race facility to drive.

Several times a year Mazda Driving Associates leases race tracks to host High-Performance Drivers Education (HPDE) events. Visit www.MazdaDriverS.com for details and registration.

HPDE participants receive classroom and in-car instruction both Saturday and Sunday driving your own vehicles at unrestricted speeds on the race track. We provided professional instruction and event management in a safe controlled environment with plenty of run off. Participants are divided into four run groups based on similar experience levels and horsepower. Beginners through advanced students are welcome.

The next event on June 12-13, 2010 has a few remaining spots left. The event is held on a world class facility, Virginia International Raceway (VIR), ranked in the top six road courses in North America. The second longest track at 4.2 miles with over 600' in elevation change is the exact same configuration as Car and Driver's annual Lighting Lap issue.

MDA is the only open automobile organization leasing the Grand Course configuration on a weekend for all of 2010.

Advance groups are pass anywhere with a point by, beginners and intermediate groups are passing in the straights with a point by. HPDE insurance is available are very reasonable pricing if desired.

Run groups will be smaller for this event ensuring high quality track time with lots of open space.

Less than 18 spots remain at www.MazdaDriverS.com.

Thanks for your consideration.
