VIRginia International Raceway, Alton, Virginia
VIR opened in 1957 as one of the country’s first permanent road racing circuits. Recognizing greatness, the 3.27-mile track has remained exactly the same since, with the only change being widening some places to offer safer run-off room.
VIRginia International Raceway is a multi-purpose road course offering professional and amateur auto and motorcycle racing. While racing is the heart of VIR, the expansive 1,300-acre property located at the Virginia-North Carolina border is so much more. America’s first true “motorsport resort,” it’s an entire vacation destination with a number of onsite hotel and lodging options.
