It’s been a while we’ve had an event in the mid-Atlantic region, so we decided to head south this May to attend the HyperFest event at Virginia International Raceway and all Factory Five customers are invited!

Chris Cobetto and his crew are hosting this big event along with the great folks at Grassroots Motorsports Magazine and they have agreed to provide a Factory Five corral for all Factory Five cars at the event. Officially, the event is Friday and Saturday, May 19 and 20, but the real party is on Saturday.

A Factory Five corral will be provided for all FFR cars on Saturday, May 20th.

The last time we were at VIR with customers was at the Factory Five Nationals in 2006!

On Friday, May 19th, some of the world’s fastest road race cars will be vying for the title of Ultimate Track Car at the Grassroots Motorsports Ultimate Track Car Challenge. We will be fielding three cars at the Friday race before the Saturday car show.
