Default Michelin GT Challenge - VIR

Thinking about attending this event 8/26 & 8/27. Not familiar with track layout and wondering where the best vantage point(s) is to view the race.

Thanks,

Al

I like the hill by 3-4 get to see a bunch of action, also like to go up by the condos to watch cars come out of last turn onto the straight. Tom I know you might be busy during your race so no need to wave as you go by

Awesome

I just bought tickets for the event in the Porscheplatz corral. I also watched part of the video from 2016 race. What a cool event.

Best of luck Mr Veins, I will be cheering for you.

What you need to worry about is without you there Mike distracting her it might be an International Mall Day ...... I hope you can make it. That would be cool.
