Race Track Rd You won’t recognize the VIR Raceplex as the plantation it once was, but you’ll experience the same southern hospitality at the Plantation Clubhouse, a restored 1840’s mansion, the Lodge, Paddock Suites, and Oak Tree Tavern, all surrounding a 3.27 mile track with two crossovers to allow simultaneous events. Opened in 1957 as one of the country’s first permanent road racing locations, VIR reopened in 2000 as America’s first “motorsports resort” to rave reviews. Automobile and motorcycle races have been joined by the new Virginia Institute for Performance Engineering and Research and JOUSTER (Joint Unmanned Systems Testing Engineering and Research), the first test site dedicated to scientific experimentation in unmanned vehicles. 2006 races include the Rolex Sports Car Series, the Grand-Am Cup Series, the 7th Annual Gold Cup Invitational Historic Races and GT Live!
