Black ( advanced) recomended by your instructor 10- .........
most here are instructor level drivers.
Red (instructor level) minimum 30 track days and Certified by a National sanctioning body (for NCM, BMW, NASA, Pclub events to name a few)

the number of cars per group depends on the track length and instructor availability. NCM usually will have 20 -30 cars per group at VIR

Just registered and am very excited for the event. First one with NCM, and first HPDE after being without an HPDE car for a couple of years.
At the risk of sounding like "that guy" (because I'm really really not), will NCM switch change your run group at the event if your on-track capabilities demonstrate the appropriate abilities? This ties in well with the run group thread that has been active here as well. The NCM runs differently than I've seen with their 4 groups instead of the 3 I'm used to.
I have a ton to learn, and want to keep learning as best and safely as possible. I just don't want the learning to be stunted if there is always a car train. I respect the organizers decisions, whatever they may be. That said, i may have self-selected a different group if it were left to me.
Thanks for the replies, I'm sure I'll have a great time and learn no matter what.
