VIR’s RacePlex™ Motorsports Industrial Park gives its tenants a unique opportunity to develop products from a trackside location with optimum vehicle testing capabilities including four distinct road courses, a 5/8-mile karting course, and a variety of off-road courses and terrain. Shop size ranges from 2,500 to 20,000 square feet.

Southside Virginia is well known in the Mid-Atlantic region as “Motorsports Alley”. Companies who establish a presence here also have the added advantage of operating in close proximity to other race support and automotive businesses.

Arguably two of the most exciting opportunities found at VIR’s RacePlex™ are the Virginia Institute of Performance Engineering and Research (VIPER) and the Joint Unmanned Systems Testing Experimentation and Research Center (JOUSTER). Both of these initiatives are partnerships with IALR, Virginia Tech, Old Dominion University, NASA and the Department of Defense. Both will bring much needed jobs and capital investment to Southside, VA.
