A turn by turn guide for Virginia International Raceway. This will help drives new to this track prepare for their event. The base video was taken at a Chin Track Days event in a 2018 Camaro SS 1LE.
Such a fun track to drive! I live near the track and have driven it a couple of times on Track Days - I always wondered how fast a professional driver with the right car do it - pretty impressive.
I don't think I'll ever see this track in person, but as someone who had difficulties in Forza I really appreciate this video. Although it's the inside loop part that drives me really mad.
When I did skip barber years ago there- they said the only area that scared them was that area before oak tree where they said over and over to just bail out infield and don’t correct into the left wall- that little bend has always kinda alarmed me since! Great job!
I will be running VIR in Oct for the 1st time with Chin Track Days. Will be my 3rd HPDE and this video has some really good info! I will make sure to watch it over and over again before the track day.
Nice, informative and very helpful video! I am really glad you made it because I'm going to VIR for the first time next weekend. Also, spell check is your friend. 😉
6:51 I saw it happen exactly like that several years ago. I was in my C5 coming up on a Mini in the wet. Just as I crested the hill I saw him snap back to my left. He slid backwards into the tires at a pretty good clip. They red-flagged the session. I saw the car in the paddock afterwards and the rear end was a mess. It definitely wasn't going to buff out.
that sand trap for turn 1 is so ridiculous. They need to make it bigger. I've seen several people miss turn 1 and go to the right of the sand trap hitting the wall.
It is the built in GM system Performance Data Recorder. It is a fantastic system that allows you to see multiple parameters each lap...tire pressure, trans. temp, max speed etc.
