Ran the car at VIR (Virginia International Raceway) last week with TrackDaze. First event I have not instructed at in a couple years, so it was a blast to relax, drive, and chat with other attendees.

First time to VIR and I absolutely loved it. It's a fantastic track. The Full Course is fun and extremely fast. The Grand Course adds a tight, technical ~0.8 miles onto the Full course, and it is phenomenal. I'd venture to say my favorite track I've driven (out of about 14 or so now). A couple laps of each configuration are below. In the Grand Course video, I take a stab at keeping pace with the stock car that was stupid fast on the straights and no slouch in corners either... regardless, very very fun and I left some on the table as I learned the track over the course of a couple sessions. Will absolutely have to go back.

I've got to run that track next year. It does look like I will beat the heck out of the suspension trying to straighten out the corners though. Nice driving.

Nice driving! Thanks for sharing the videos. What hardware are you running for Harry's Lap Timer?
