A new race track is opening near me

It is actually up the road a couple of miles from where I go to Autocross.

Sadly, its too rich for my blood.  192K initiation fee and 12K a year dues. Yeah, I'll stick to $400-$500 track days if I want to get on a track again.

Maybe they need a volunteer to do test laps? LOL!!

Watching that Mercedes rip around on gravel on the website was painful for me to watch.

260 Members already? That blew my mind and made me wonder how many memberships are they going to sell?

I also read on the website you have to pay the membership initiation fee in order to be eligible to purchase a house or town home.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY, Fla. — A new private racetrack resort community is under construction in St. Lucie County, replacing fairways with racing circuits and welcoming its first drivers this fall.

P1 Motor Club is being built on 650 acres off Okeechobee Road, featuring 10 miles of racing circuits designed for street cars, race cars and go-karts.

"Think of a high-end golf resort," said Chris DuPlessis, Director of Fun for P1 Motor Club. "Instead of a golf course, you've got a racetrack."

The club is designed for drivers of all ages and skill levels.

"We get kids as young as 8 years old driving go-karts, all the way up to you know, grandpa comes and still drives on track in his car, so it's a family club," DuPlessis said.

The first track under construction is the 3-mile Treasure Coast Track, set to open in October. Over the next six months, crews will continue work on additional circuits, including the flagship 4.5-mile P1 International Circuit.

Membership comes with a $192,000 initiation fee and $12,000 in yearly dues. The club already has 260 members.

Construction on a clubhouse and homes for up to 125 residents is scheduled to begin in 2027. The development will also include condos and customizable garages with living spaces situated directly along the tracks.

Despite the scale of the project, developers say they want to preserve the character of the region by planting trees, creating lakes, and incorporating natural landscaping throughout the property.

"It'll feel like it's been a racetrack here for 100 years," DuPlessis said. "It's like we're building a city, and if you couldn't tell, we're quite excited about it."

P1 Motor Club is expected to be fully completed by 2028.

And probably a $17 admin fee!

LOL!!

I am still trying to wrap my head around 260 cars. Yes, I know not all will show up at once, but with a few hundred members I can see bedlam in the future.

If I paid 200K for a membership then another 12K a year dues, I would be driving the wheels off my car out there. So, what happens when 200 people want to use the track at once?

Nothing about that community/track is appealing to me.

Airpark communities are far less expensive.  They have dues but I don't believe anything outrageous.  Especially considering how much it cost to maintain an airplane.
