Euroclassics Driver Education Event

Virginia International Raceway

About this event

 

Join Mark Cooke of Euroclassics Porsche for this popular one-day DE at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) (on the full course) near Danville, VA on Monday, October 12th.  This is a great opportunity for drivers to get to know their cars, test their abilities on a real racecourse, and enjoy lots of track time.

This event is open to any driver 18 and over with a valid US-issued driver's license and with any make/model of car.  Please bring your license with you to registration.

Registration is $295 and non-refundable.  This includes a free pre-event tech inspection of your car at Euroclassics Porsche in Midlothian, VA (Additional parts or labor that may be needed can be purchased from Euroclassics.) and a free lunch at the track.  Pre-event tech inspections are required for all cars.  Drivers may take their cars to another service facility of their choosing but will need to compensate that shop.

Event requirements

Drivers will be divided into three run groups based on their driving experience.  No passing will be allowed in the “yellow” group for drivers who are new to the track or have limited driving time.  Passing will be allowed in the two upper run groups for experienced drivers. Long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and closed-toe shoes will be required for all drivers, per VIR rules.  All participants and spectators (adults and minors) must sign the appropriate VIR and Euroclassics insurance waivers.

The yellow group will be a relaxed driving opportunity for people who have no or limited track experience.  These drivers will be able to get a taste of the track without having to be concerned about passing as they learn about themselves and their cars.  Some instructors will be available at no charge to give newer drivers a few driving tips and teach them the line of the track. In this group only, no helmets will be required and VIR’s roll-bar rules will not apply (so you can drive any stock Boxster).  For the yellow group only, Porsche Cayennes and BMW and Mercedes-Benz SUVs will be permitted.

Drivers in the Red and White groups must wear Snell 2005 or newer helmets, per VIR rules, Boxsters and other convertibles in the advanced groups must have roll bars that are two inches above the drivers’ helmets (Broomstick Rule).  Boxsters 2005 and newer are acceptable with no additional devices if the drivers’ helmets are below the two-inch mark.

The Red (intermediate) and White (advanced) groups are SOLO run groups for expierenced drivers with previous solo track time.

Please make sure your event history is up to date on your MotorsportsReg account, this helps us place drivers in the correct run group.

Noted driving instructor Peter Krause will be the lead instructor for this event.

Registration is $295 and non-refundable.  This includes a free pre-event tech inspection of your car at Euroclassics Porsche in Midlothian, VA (Additional parts or labor that may be needed can be purchased from Euroclassics.) and a free lunch at the track.  Pre-event tech inspections are required for all cars.  Drivers may take their cars to another service facility of their choosing but will need to compensate that shop.

Please take your car to the tech shed for final grid tech first,

Then proceed to the classroom in the tower with your tech form for registration.

If you are in the Red run group, make sure you get through tech and registration early so you can make your first run session.
