Team GenRacer heads to the rolling hills of Virginia

3rd Jun 2022

GenRacer heads south in mid-June to Virginia International Raceway (VIR) for Rounds 5 and 6 of the SRO TC America Season. The 3.27-mile historic circuit is fast and flowing with lots of elevation change, making a great challenge for the cars and drivers. With a 2nd place finish in the last round at New Orleans, the team is looking to build on the momentum with their Liqui-Moly X-Clutch Hyundai Veloster N’s-

  • Team looks to build on strong race pace from Rounds 3 & 4
  • Drivers Nick Barbato and Jeff Ricca looking forward to the fast and flowing circuit

Team GenRacer is heading to historic VIR this week looking to build on its momentum after a strong podium finish by Jeff Ricca in round 4 at New Orleans. While it continues development of the cars, the team demonstrated great race pace all weekend at NOLA and a strong run by Jeff to close out the weekend. Drivers Jeff Ricca in the Liqui-Moly #78 and Nick Barbato in the X-Clutch #88 shared their thoughts on the coming event:

  • Nick Barbato (#88 X-Clutch GenRacer Hyundai Veloster N): "We continue to put in countless hours behind the scenes to move the development of the cars forward. Our race pace is solid and we’ll be focusing on qualifying performances in the coming rounds. The Veloster might be a good match for the higher speeds and long straights at VIR. I am putting in a ton of simulator time in preparation for this event. I’m hopeful our hard work will pay off with a clean weekend and a good result.
  • Jeff Ricca (#78 Liqui-Moly GenRacer Hyundai Veloster N): "VIR is one of my favorite tracks to race on in the USA. In the past I have done well and with the knowledge we have learned on this Veloster N platform, we really have a handle on the tuning for this track. I am pretty confident that we will have a good pace out of the box and should have a good result in Round 5 and 6. We are going for the long game with our season points but we do need a podium from both cars this weekend to keep the momentum going."

  • The GenRacer Veloster N’s are tuned-up and ready to tackle VIR!

The race weekend begins Friday, June 19 for practice, qualifying and 2 sprint races.

Overall Fantastic

Over all fantastic. From the ordering process, to how fast the shipping is and also the customer service. This is why I only shop on GenRacer for my coupe! Keep up the stellar work

Awesome Service

I recently purchased the ARK test pipes for my 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 and must say was the best thing I’ve done aside from from getting my aftermarket exhaust. Sounds louder and drives faster! No hassle, got the pipes within three days. Thank you GenRacer,

Simply the Best Service

Most places just sell parts and when you call them it feels like you are bothering them. My last transaction with GENRACER left nothing to be desired, meaning it could have not been better. I purchased front and rear WHITELINE sway bars, front & rear DBA rotors, and EBC YELLOWSTUFF brake pads. I called just after I ordered the parts because I received an "out of stock" email notification. When I called back to chat with someone *** answered the phone. He couldn't have been more knowledgeable about exactly what I was looking for when it came to the right brake pad for my needs (street/track). Come to find out the pads I picked (DBA's) were not the best pads for my application so im very glad I talked to ***!! I just recently had everything installed, bedded the pads and I am so happy I used GenRacer for my 16 R-Spec Coupe!! Thanks again ***!!!

So Awesome

Order came fast and looks amazing on my car. I did have one problem where one tail light would blink sequentially and the other didn’t. I sent an email late in the day inquiring about it. I wasn’t expecting a response until at least the following day as it was so late. Within an hour they had gotten back to me informing me of a switch on the inside of the housing where you can choose sequential or regular. Sweet! Top notch customer service.
