VIR Date Shift and Winter Test Circuit Revealed with 2024 SRO America Calendar Update
Following the 2024 SRO America calendar announcement earlier this month at the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, a date change for the VIRginia International Raceway (VIR) event has been released.
VIR will now host SRO America’s various championships on July 19-21, 2024. This update avoids a conflict with the 24 Hours of Le Mans and allows for drivers, teams, and manufacturers to participate in both races.
VIR offers drivers and spectators one of the most pleasing venues for sports car racing in the United States. With its sweeping fields of greenery, it has a touch of southern charm with the historic plantation house still standing and recent facility upgrades to make it a favorite on the SRO America calendar.
“As we work to build the perfect calendar, there are always challenges in the avoiding clashes. After feedback from our teams and drivers, we knew it would be to the benefit of our paddock to move our VIR weekend off Le Mans,” said SRO Motorsports America CEO and President Greg Gill.
Also announced is the venue for the SRO Winter Test - NOLA Motorsports Park. Set to take place February 28-29, the scheduled test will be a warmup for SRO teams and drivers as they gear up for the upcoming season.
With the dates for the 2024 season now set, SRO America sets its sights on revealing the TBA venue for Sept. 6-8 and confirming the full 2024 calendar in the coming weeks.
