VIR is worth the trip-
It’s long, it has many variations of turns, including ones not found at other tracks Let alone all on the same track, the scenery is beautiful, it’s hilly with big grade changes, the facilities are first class, two long straights that bring you to top speeds not seen at most tracks, it has good spectator areas, and it’s safer then most to push without the risk of a total. My favorite track-
My wife is practicing there now for qualifying tomorrow. I have some other racing deadlines and couldn’t make it.

Hope you don't mind me asking, but British Isles is obviously isolated from mainland Europe. How would you get to SPA, Nur, etc. by driving? I assume there's a bridge that crosses over the English Channel between the shortest distance - from the southeastern-most tip of England to northern coast of France? I think there is such a bridge. Am I correct?
TIA.
No, there is no bridge, but a tunnel where you put your car on a train. Another possibility: The ferries - some are Hovercraft and very quick.
Yes a tunnel, takes 30mins.
Wolfgang, any plans on coming over here and trying some of our classic tracks?

j14nsx: I would love to drive some of your tracks - especialy Donington, but I should have a lot more bucks and time to do that. And I doubt I can get used to driving on the wrong lane with my trailer.
