PV3 Enterprises reopened the former Utah Motorsports Campus as West Desert, a 511-acre facility located 30 minutes from Salt Lake City. The company has invested more than $50 million in the property since taking over earlier this year.
Why it matters
The reopening positions the campus as a year-round destination for motorsports, entertainment, driver development, and family experiences across the state. Planned residential, commercial, and retail developments around the track signal a broader redevelopment effort in the region.
The 511-acre campus includes a 0.7-mile front straight, a 4.5-mile road course, and a 0.9-mile karting track. PV3 Enterprises has invested more than $50 million since taking over earlier this year, though the company has not detailed the full scope of future spending.

The campus offers off-road facilities, event spaces, and grandstands for those attending events or driver development programs.
