Once again it’s almost time for GT Live East @ VIR Oct 3-5!!! My car club, the North Carolina Rotaries, will be hosting the MazdaDayz fanfest...all Mazda models are encouraged to come out and make this one of the largest Mazda meets on the east coast!
GT Live brings the widest variety of events to a single weekend on VIR’s calendar with a pair of six-hour enduros for the Grand-American KONI Challenge sports sedans and sports cars; motorcycle stunt riding, drifting, track attack events, static displays, music, and never a dull moment. The KONI Challenge races feature cars from BMW, Porsche, Mustang, Chevrolet, Mazda and more, with star drivers from the worlds of auto racing and show business taking part. More info can be found at www.gtlivetour.com and www.grand-am.com.
To make this experience even better, those attending the MazdaDayz fanfest will be granted special parking access inside the main paddock of VIR! Literally you get to park mere feet from fully prepped race cars and be able to take in the sights and sounds of this historic race track. Our club will also set up a meet/greet with many of the KONI Challenge Mazda drivers and crew. Also, I can guarantee a chance to sit and take pictures inside of a KONI Challenge prepped RX-8 race car. In the coming weeks I will provide more info on our sponsors for the event and how to obtain your parking pass prior to the event.
As of right now I am just trying to gain info on the interest level for this type of event. Please feel free to contact me either by PM or email at i8u@inbox.com. Please mark subject as GT Live, thanks!

GT Live offers a Lap Battle competition, you would have to register for that thru their site. But if you're looking for a lot of driving time this is not the driving event for you. This event is held to showcase a variety of different motorsports to the general public.

Still working with some prospective co-sponsors. If there is anything in specific you guys would like have or see at the event let me know and I will see what I can do. Already we are working out on getting some private time for the kart track. We were able to secure two thirty minute sessions last year, we are hoping for more time this year!

You can buy single day pass tickets at the gate. But you still have to register for the Mazda Days fan fest if you want to be granted access to our exclusive parking area. There is no charge to register, and you must register prior to the event.

NEW INFO!!!
The free AutoX event has been changed to the WRX Track Attack...please refer to http://www.gtlivetour.com/events/att/wrx/index.html for further info.
From what I was told, by registering for this event you get to set a time, session and heat cycle to drive an '09 WRX STi in an autoX setting. I, myself, have registered for this one...I really want to see what the hype is all about of a WRX.
See everyone there!
