Car and Driver Magazine has published a feature article "America's Best Road Courses - An insider's guide to our favorite racing circuits," and Halifax County's own VIRginia International Raceway is on the list! An excerpt from the article reads:
"WHY WE LOVE IT:
When we picked VIR as the venue for our annual Lightning Lap performance shootout, we called it the nearest thing to the Nürburgring’s fabled Nordschleife, which is used regularly by many automakers for high-performance development. Equating VIR with the Ring may be a stretch. But it’s the closest approximation we’ve found in the U.S., and it’s set in beautiful countryside."
The article reveals the best places to watch and the scariest corners, plus has an interesting historical note. Click here to read the entire article, or here to go straight to the VIR content. Congratulations, VIR!
Upskilling local workers to fill high-demand jobs is the aim of a new maintenance mechanic training program offered at the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center.
