Looks like we might have another great option in the southwest - especially if they are able to go through with the Phase 2 plans.

I have spoken to the builder in charge of this facility and they are very much going to make this happen. They have a very solid business plan that we discussed in-detail. Legal battles with the newest track in the area (APEX Motor Club) have slowed both of them down. Attessa will be more of a race circuit than APEX is. They intend to focus on manufacturer development space as well. The track will start out fairly bare-bones from a facilities perspective, but have plans to ramp those up as members/investors commit.
Seems like that would be a good thing for long term viability - or could mean limited access? Whatever the case, if it gets built I'll be happy.Another perk of the track, R&D. This time is seems like some of the OEM's will actually be based/manufactured out here. I've been seeing a good amount of jobs pop up for Nikola Motors

And most recently, Lucid Motors factory

Hopefully they will attract enough investors to build both tracks lol
Dibs, I call his guest bedroom with the king bed first, so Tyme you will have to sleep out near the pool house -- heh, the beach lounges recline to virtually flat!
@ArizonaBOSS ? Any insider insights?Plenty of talk about tracks and obviously many things slowed down or were cancelled over 2020/2021, so what is the news Arizona International Raceway? It pulls up under Attessa , but little can be gleaned from the site other than they are dreaming big. Looks like there might be part of a track done , but hard to access as there is a info overlay over it.
