The kart track at VIR has roughly the same number of turns as G-Force and is roughly twice as long, so it's approximately half as "busy." There are a couple of straights on which the karts are topped out for several seconds, and there are rumble strips and (mostly) grassy runnoffs instead of the padded walls at G-Force. The races at G-Force don't last as long, which makes every second there pretty intense (I think). The straights at the VIR kart track do give the driver a chance to relax briefly, and yet the element of elevation change and some friendly and some unfriendly curbs at VIR make both tracks technically challenging and somewhat comparable.
In case that's not clear, let me put it this way: you'd love it, Gerald!
