I don't think the course is designed specifically to benefit one type of car or the other. I have run on courses that were for "horsepower" and did very well. I have also run on tight courses meant for Miatas and Civics and did poorly. The courses are designed to combine various elements to challenge the drivers, not the cars.

VMSC uses the Dinwiddie parking lot and you can get up to 3rd. I typically don't do as well there because I just don't have the power. However, I love running up there because it is a different challenege for me.
