Back to Calendar

The VIR SpeedTour celebrates Virginia International Raceway’s glorious racing past by bringing back to life the sights, smells and sounds that have echoed off this hallowed asphalt since 1957. This popular weekend always features large grids and great competition in all SVRA race groups.

The SpeedTour is an event for the whole family so join us for the full weekend; one day won’t be enough!

Events

VIR SpeedTour will feature racers and cars from Trans Am, Sportscar Vintage Racing (SVRA), & International GT (IGT).

Circuit

The track hugs the natural contours of the land and features high speed straights, blind crests and a notorious tight right turn where a famous oak tree once stood. The VIR Grand Course crams two dozen turns into 4.2 miles.

VIR is more than just a time-honored road course, it’s also a modern motorsports resort that features three hotels, several restaurants, a skidpad, a go-kart track and even a skeet shooting range. Expect terrific racing and a busy weekend at this world-class facility.

One of the crown jewels of historic racing, the Spa Six Hours is scheduled to take place in early October.

Spa Six Hours Events

Events will include the Masters European Tour offering plenty of great races for its five main core series:

• Masters Historic Formula One
• Masters Historic Sports Cars
• Masters Endurance Legends
• Gentlemen Drivers
• Masters Pre-66 Touring Cars.
• … and more events to be confirmed.

This is the inaugural SVRA event at Utah Motorsports Campus, the only permanent road racing facility in the state of Utah. All SVRA classes are invited. Volvo and Lotus are both being celebrated with Marque Feature Reunions. This event also hosts a Miata Heritage Cup Series race.

Circuit

Conceived as a private track by the late Utah businessman and auto enthusiast Larry H. Miller, it blossomed into a $100-million complex that opened in 2006 as Miller Motorsports Park.

Track designer Alan Wilson created a challenging 23-turn, 4.486-mile road course that offers sight lines from all points, abundant run-off and generous passing zones. The Campus also has kart, off-road, rock-crawling and rally-cross tracks.
