VIR is a beautiful track! Worth racing on! Everything newly paved. The Lodge at VIR is a hotel type room. Very clean. Two double beds, jacuzzi tub, shower, great WiFi, provide muffins & juice in the rooms, and 2 chairs on the porch to watch the cars on the track. One of the best things they provide-liquid Dial soap for the sink (I hate using the bar soaps at hotels to wash your hands )! Highly suggest staying here.

Had a day at VIR for Holiday Laps and what a great experience with your safety first, pay a donation fee for a great cause and drive your car on the track while helping the needy and having a great time experiencing driving on one of the best road course tracks in the world.

We recently camped at VIR for the K&N Race and the facility is fantastic. All the people are very nice and the are is just beautiful. If you get a chance to attend an event at VIR you should definitely do so. Dog friendly and family friendly!

Nice track with recent upgrades - wider in some turns. Paddock area is now paved, which is much better than the previous gravel paddock. Pit boxes are quite small.

We always look forward to racing at VIR. The staff is generally very accommodating and the grounds are well-kept. Ultimately it is the freshly paved 4+ mile race circuit that brings us back. This is one of the great racetracks of North America. If you have a chance to spectate or to drive this track, definitely give it a try.

I've been to this track numerous times and have always enjoyed taking part in the races there. From a racers standpoint, it is a fun and fast driving experience. From a spectator's standpoint, there's really not anywhere on the track you can't see the race from. The facilities are nice and the paddock allows from good team, visitors interaction. The Oak Tree Tavern that is on the property is actually a decent place for a meal or a cold beer. It's worth seeing.

Went to VIR on a Sunday to run go karts. When we arrived around 2:30 we saw dirt bikes using it. An ominous site when you've been driving for an hour to get there. We inquired with the attendant who told us the dirt bikes would be using it until at least 5:00. We waited around for 30 minutes and asked again, hoping to get a different answer. No luck. So we drove an hour back home. 2 1/2 hours for nothing. Their web site says karting is open from 9am to 6pm Wed-Sun without any mention of the track being closed for private groups. If you scroll down on the kart page you see a calendar with several times with No Subject beside it (ie 1pm No Subject). Having been there I can only surmise that No Subject indicates a private group has rented the track for an hour but that isn't stated anywhere. I asked the attendant if we could check the web site in the future to check for private parties. He said we should just call. Long story short, VIR karting isn't really open from 9am-6pm Wed thru Sun. They are open Wed-Sun when the track isn't rented to a private party. Very irritating.

We've been to the track numerous times, and always love going back. My favorite track is still Watkins Glen, but VIR is #2. Set in rolling hills with red horse barn-like buildings, this track presents a beautiful locale for gear-head activities of all kinds. If you're not staying on-site (I never have, availability is limited), the closest hotels are primarily in nearby Danville, with only a few exceptions. Bring bikes, it's a great place to get around on 2 wheels. Depending on the time of your visit, there might be a charge. If there's a race, especially if it's a pro race, the charge can be significant, so check before heading out.

We went to VIR as a trip to let our 19, 22, and 24 year old kids drive an Arial Atom Race Car on a real racetrack. What I didn't expect was a weekend of continuous racing around the larger track. This included "vintage" race cars, and current BMWs. There was a new race starting every 1/2 hour, and each one was exciting. You could view the race from anywhere and get right up close to the action. The "pit" area was also very interesting. I had never seen anything quite like it. We camped on the grounds, but spent most of our time out around their huge facility. We even found a separate dirt bike track and races going on!! Don't miss spending a weekend here. Oh, by the way, the kids said the racing experience on the Atoms were the best times of their lives! We even got a tour of their manufacturing facility right on the grounds.

My father and I went for the weekend to a track day with a sports car club. The repave is awesome! We had such a good time that we will definitely be back. I would even like to go watch a race as a spectator. The lodge was worth the money and very convenient. I wish the ice machine had been working but it was still cold at night so I'll let it slide. You have to watch an event or try to participate in one.

If you have not been to a race at VIR, put it on you bucket list. Great camping opportunities, or hotel rooms on the site, some right along the track.

I don't have much to add to what's already been said other than if you get the opportunity to drive the track take it! Often during the "lunch break" for a small donation you can drive the storied 3.25 mile course. (This is behind a pace car to keep the speeds down to highway speed) Or even better if you can do a track day with many of the groups who rent the track you can get a real taste of what this track has to offer "at speed". Some events do a short course and others do the full track. The track is going to repaved and widened in a few places over the 2013-2014 winter months.

I have been going to VIR for a number of years. I have always thought this was a racing gem. This year was the first time I have been disappointed. The issue was not with the race, we had a great time at the Oak Tree Grand Prix. The issue was with camping at VIR. One of the things I have always appreciated at VIR is that they do not over control the place. You can pretty much go where you want to see the race. No one has ever told us we could not be somewhere, just because we did not pay enough.That changed this year. We were there with 5 guys and 2 tents. We got there on Friday, and expected to pay $50 for one night camping. (they charge you for camping for the full 4 days rather than for one night) That cost for primitive camping is absurd, but we knew that was what they wanted, and were willing to pay it to be able to hang together and not have to drive somewhere on Friday evening. VIR charges $200+ for RV camping for the 4 days of the race. By Friday afternoon, you know who is taking the RV Spaces. No one is going to come pay $200 to park an RV for one night. So last year, we put our camp up in one of the unused RV sites, and no one hassled us. We had a great time. This year, around 5:00 in the afternoon, "captain morgan" came on a golf cart, flashed a badge and said he was "security". He told us we had to move. We tried to talk with him, but he was adamant that we had to move. To avoid the hassle, we agreed to pay for the site. So we ended up having to pay $200 for one night of primitive camping. (5 guys splitting it was not bad to avoid a hassle) Captain Morgan seemed pleased with himself and left. Ten minutes later, 3 car load of people with tent camping tags pulled in and took the next 3 RV spaces. No one hassled them, and they stayed there through Friday night and Saturday.The more I think about this, the more it bugs me. But then I guess we could have moved and come back to that spot after the captain left. Will I come back to VIR? Yes, it is a great spot to watch road races.Will I camp at VIR again? I don't think it is worth the cost, and it is really not worth a hassle.

While staying at Smith Mountain Lake we took a day trip to Danville area (Alton) to see the VIR races. We have been there many times and love the adventure. Here you can sit next to the track and watch the many kinds of racing. There are two areas (Oak Tree turn-tree removed this year) or a larger area with less noise we like that is near everything. They have a wonderful road course where you can see the turns and straight areas. We like the classic car race with the BMWs, MGs, Cobras etc. as we also enjoy walking around the pit areas. There is a store for the patrons with a few shirts, parts, race suits, helmets etc. and a covered food area where you can sit and watch the race. There are picnic area under the trees near the track and a observation area above the food area. There is a well maintained red barn for working on cars and a covered pit area near the start with motel rooms over the pits for racers etc. We take a picnic basket and cooler and a tarp tent that we set up behind the car next to the track. Here you can back right up to the grass area and you don't even need to take the cooler out of the car. This is open most of the time for cars to park but can be closed if it is a big race. There are bleachers and an area for RV's, Motor Coaches etc. to camp. Some vendors are also available. There are races for motorcycles, historic cars, nascar, formula one and everything between. I like this type of racing as it is more interesting track than nascar around and around and is much less noise as the cars come around on a much larger track and a more interesting track with curves, turns with tree areas and rises and bridges over the course. There are condos and a motel on the grounds along with a spa and clubhouse. Kind of tricky finding it but watch for VIR signs as it is in an area by itself. Many famous people have raced here from nascar to formula one. Paul Newman, Patrick Dempsey, Carroll Shelby are a few of the people that have raced or been there to sign autographs. They have shows and events there also. Highly recommend for singles to families to get a taste of good racing, well run facility and beautiful grounds. We usually go on Fridays as less crowded and can see pre race trials.

Very nice track, especially if you get to do the entire course. Also great amenities making it easy if you bring the kids. Lodging on site. Convenient and clean. Tavern also onsite with decent food.
