Michelin Celebrates Vir's Present, Future in 2019
PRESS INFORMATION MICHELIN CELEBRATES VIR’S PRESENT, FUTURE IN 2019 MICHELIN GT CHALLENGE Through challenging conditions, teams in three IMSA series excel with MICHELIN® slicks and wets at VIRginia International Raceway Alton, Va. (August 25, 2019) --- Michelin and the International Motor Sports Association returned to the VIRginia International Raceway for the Michelin GT Challenge at VIR and delivered an impressive array of stunning cars and top driver talent in a weekend featuring production car-based GT competition. Between the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and yesterday’s IMSA MICHELIN Pilot Challenge there were 15 different automotive brands in competition at VIR this weekend. “At 3.27 miles, with 17 turns and significant elevation changes, VIR is a great circuit and its technical demands present a robust challenge for teams, drivers and tires. We enjoy the technical challenges, and meeting so many sportscar fans,” said Chris Baker, director of motorsport, Michelin North America. “Each race on the IMSA schedule has its own personality and VIR is the ‘back to where you came from’ relaxed, friendly, family atmosphere in a beautiful facility that make it a favorite for fans and teams. “We should recognize IMSA, VIR track promoter Connie Nyholm and her team, our Michelin team, and the fans for making the Michelin GT Challenge at VIR a place where new fans are being introduced in a way that many of us were introduced to the sport.” Ironically, the VIR event almost didn’t happen. One of the first tasks facing the leaders of IMSA following the merger of the former American Le Mans Series and the GRAND-AM Rolex Series was to create a consolidated schedule for the first post-merger season in 2014.
