EVENT COVERAGE: Street Driven Tour – Virginia International Raceway
by Martin Gonzales
The grand majority of MotoIQ readers have been to some sort of motorsports event. Whether participating in a track day or simply spectating at a pro event, we're always looking for ways to get our motorsports fix in. Until now we have always had to make a choice between being part of the action or just watching. Not anymore! The Street Driven Tour is a motorsports bash with something for every gear head. You want to watch some road racing, they've got it. You want to go on a drift ride along, they've got that. Want to play some drift-soccer, they've got that too!
Basically, what the team at the Street Driven Tour have created is a motorsports festival. This first event was done in conjunction with Hyperfest, and the venue was the famous and beautiful Virginia International Raceway. The perfect venue for an event like this one, as the large complex allowed for all the activities to run concurrently. A good thing too, because though this was the inaugural event, over 7,000 motorsport aficionados made it through the VIR gates!
