    Default VIR in-car

    Hey guys,

    Headed to VIR in April. Was curious if ya'll can share some in-car video from some of the F1000 races there the past few years? Been there in a Radical a few times, curious how different it is in a good FB.

    Cheers!

    i’m sure you’ll do better.. this was my first time to the track and still relatively new to PFM.
    the view switches between forward, rear and exterior panning, but they’re all in sync for the most part.

    probably not exactly the video you are looking for but maybe it will help.

    Here is a friend a year or two before my visit - when the tree still stood tall!

    Jake,

    There's a few F1000 VIR in car races on You Tube. You have to kinda search for them a bit. This one is from a couple of years back.:

    I was at the April Major last year at VIR. Too many cars in the group. First race we only got 1 green lap. They split us for Sunday. Much better.

    Default F1000 race at vir

    Jake,

    As Copeland said the VIr majors experience last year was not a good one.

    You should consider running the May Vir regional race with the North American Formula 1000 Championship instead of .....or in addition to the april majors.

    Our drivers voted to run regional weekends this year for more track time for less money.....and at most we will get a stand alone race.......and at some our own run group all weekend.

    You will certainly have more cars to run with on North American Formula 1000 weekends than at majors. We averaged 11 per weekend last year......and we have a few more guys coming on board this year......so we should see 15 or so.

    Our Schedule is posted on NorthAmF1000.com.....and on the facebook by the same name. It includes VIR, NJ, Watkins glen, Mid Ohio, Summit, and the ARRC for the finale.

    Come out show these guys what you can do!

    Heya Jerry, appreciate the note. The NAF1K dates don't quite work out for me this year since I'm meeting the car in Virginia to take it north to WGI and then onward to some tracks in Canada, if I'm lucky. Also, this way I don't have to find out how old and slow I've become since 2012
