The South clockwise configuration at Virginia International Raceway utilizes VIR's southern course sections in clockwise direction, creating a specific layout variant at this legendary natural-terrain circuit in Alton. The South designation focuses on particular portions of the sprawling property, with clockwise flow establishing intended corner sequences. This configuration serves events requiring specific technical characteristics or shorter distances than VIR's famous full course layouts.

Operating the South CW showcases Virginia International Raceway's exceptional infrastructure where multiple configurations utilize the facility's extensive 1,300-acre property carved through Virginia Piedmont forest. VIR's natural-terrain character creates dramatic elevation changes and technical challenges. Virginia's climate creates year-round potential though peak season runs April through November. The South clockwise configuration provides specific layout serving club racing and track day customers at this storied venue that has operated since 1957, demonstrating VIR's versatility beyond its famous full-course configurations.
