Great kart track at VIR, fast karts, wide track with kerbs and elevation changes. Lots of fun, highly recommend, bring a group for even more fun!

Online booking makes getting time on track much easier than before. Staff was friendly and karts seemed faster than what I remembered. All in all a great experience, and we were able to put down some good lap times. 🔥

Cancelled after we drove 12 hours to get there with no explanation, and no follow up to fit us in while we were there
