A little bit about the Michelin GT Challenge (in Virginia):
VIR is hosting the headlining Michelin GT Challenge and entire IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship weekend, Aug. 17 to 19. The series features topracing professionals, nationally and globally, hitting the track in the most technologically advanced race cars, from Lamborghinis to Corvettes to BMWs.
Drivers top speeds of 190 miles per hour during the nearly three-hour race, dubbed the Michelin GT Challenge, that includes the “climbing esses,” a section of the course considered by many race drivers as one of the most challenging and intimidating in North America. It’s the culmination of the family-friendly weekend including testing, qualifying, car corrals, driver autograph sessions, team chats, tech talks and more.
Guests can come for a single day, multiple days throughout the weekend or even camp onsite on the expansive countryside property located at the border of Virginia and North Carolina – just a short drive from Raleigh and the rest of the Triangle.
VIRginia International Raceway is one of America’s premier road courses, offering professional and amateur racing for modern and vintage classes while providing contemporary resort amenities, such as lodging, dining, a spa, an exclusive driver’s club, karting, off-road racing, shooting sports, skid pad and more.
