Here is my Hyperdrive session at VIR during NASA’s OctoberFAST 2013. In spite of the rain, I was still able to attain a top speed of 123 along the back straight. There are two laps under full course yellow, four under green, followed by the checkered flag lap.

Here are highlights from the 28 minute video. Open in YouTube and click on links in the description to take you directly to each point in the video.

Pretty overwhelming isn't it?

Your first session around VIR makes you process a lot of information. Doing it in the rain just adds to the difficulty of learning a very fast, technical course.

Sounds like you had fun and learned a ton.
