The track is the oldest road course of its kind in the country, and its new owners plan to cater to wealthy owners of high-performance cars. The sale reflects rising demand for upscale private tracks in California and beyond.
The track dates to 1953 and sits about 90 minutes from Los Angeles in the Mojave Desert. Specific measurements, capacity figures and renovation budgets were not disclosed.
