The Greatest Private Race Track In The World?!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The über rich always need somewhere to play with their latest track toys, and now there’s a new high-end ‘driving resort’ recently opened in Japan that aims to best those already in business in Europe and the USA.
It’s called the Magarigawa Club and there’s a race track, obviously, and an on-site fuel station to minimise time away from the circuit, plus fully crewed workshops, a temperature-controlled storage facility for hundreds of cars, and a helipad. So far, so ultra-high-net-worth.
But this billionaire’s playground caters to its clients - and their families - away from the track as well, with traditional Japanese hot spring bathing, a top-tier gym and yoga studio, a kids’ creche complete with miniature Bugatti pedal cars, and a dog park for one’s pup. And this is Japan, so there’s even a (soundproofed) karaoke room too.
Join TG’s Tom Ford for a tour of this automotive theme park aimed at the 0.01%.

    I wonder what the acoustics are like; both for the driver and for those watching from the main buildings. Echos bouncing off the hills before a car roars into view, or for the driver exiting the hairpin and the exhaust notes suddenly booming against the rising retaining wall. A feast for all senses, I'd bet.

    I wonder if this place will ever come into profit, even with their member fees, which are pretty high but not enough to make a profit anytime soon. I can't imagine it happening at least not for a few decades if not more. The US model is members must buy houses, and there is a waiting list of about 3 ~ 5 years for your house to be built once commissioned, and every member must purchase land and house within 5 years of their membership. The houses are also made by the circuit, so they make a lot of money from land purchases and then the building fees.

    On a 1 lap glory run it must feel pretty good, but there are too many slow corners. I think the track will start to feel sluggish after the tyres overheat when you're doing a long stint. More high speed corners would be great especially as newer supercars are starting to utilise Aerodynamic downforce. Its still an amazing achievement to build such a track with limited space.

    I love it, my dream is to have my own track and garage to retire on. The endless shicane is a bit too tight for anything without open-wheel/hillclimb aero, however it was designed by formula 1 track builders so I see how that happened The elevation changes are amazing, something most tracks avoid due to costs and to maintain good visibility for stands, neither appear to be a problem in this situation.
