Roaring Pines Motor Club has completed all permitting requirements for its luxury motorsports facility on Florida's First Coast. Early site development is planned to begin in December 2026.
Why it matters
The completed permits clear a major regulatory hurdle for a private motorsports destination that combines a road course, residential garage units, and a boutique hotel. The project's progress will show whether high-end track communities can be built in Northeast Florida.
The 3.5-mile, 20-turn road course is designed for FIA Grade 2 certification and can be split into a 2.65-mile circuit and a 0.85-mile street course. A 4,000-foot long straight is also planned, and the club is expected to open in 2028.
The players
Roaring Pines Motor Club
A private luxury motorsports club on Florida's First Coast that is developing a road course, clubhouse, and residential units.
TeamSLR
A racing team that will relocate its headquarters to Roaring Pines as part of the project.
The details
Roaring Pines Motor Club is owned by Scott Lagasse Sr. and Scott Lagasse Jr., the Mosler Family, and founding investors. The clubhouse will include a car museum, event space, a fitness center, restaurant, lounge, and a fourth-floor viewing platform, along with a karting track, a boutique hotel, garage loft units, garage villas, and home sites with direct track access. TeamSLR will relocate its headquarters to the site, which sits beside Palatka-Kay Larkin Airport.
Timeline
December 2026: Early site development is planned to begin.
Late 2027: Track paving is expected to be completed.
2028: The club anticipates opening Roaring Pines Motor Club.
Roadmap
Roaring Pines follows a model in which private motorsports clubs pair a racing circuit with residential garages and hospitality amenities, a format that has grown among high-end car enthusiasts. Its design goal of FIA Grade 2 certification places it among tracks aiming for sanctioned racing rather than purely private use.
Prospective members can reserve trackside garage loft units or home sites with direct track access once sales open. Drive times of about 35 minutes to St. Augustine and one hour to Jacksonville, Daytona, and Gainesville make the site reachable for Florida residents.
The takeaway
Track-centered residential projects like Roaring Pines show how private motorsports can become a long-term real estate and hospitality venture. Readers interested in buying in should watch the 2026 site work and 2028 opening schedule.
What happens next
Early site development is planned to begin in December 2026, with track paving expected to be completed in late 2027.
