The Concours Club offers year-round experiences that combine luxury, motorsport access, and social dining. Members can fly a personal jet into Opa-Locka Municipal Airport, where a supercar or vintage classic is fueled and waiting on the tarmac. They can then drive directly onto a country-club-style racetrack beside the airport for a lapping session with a professional coach, featuring 11 corners across 2.0 miles. After driving, members may enjoy a meal prepared by the club’s culinary director, Bradley Kilgore. The club fits a broader trend of private tracks in the US, Europe, and Asia, supported by residences, clubhouses, and amenities, especially as public roads become less friendly to fast cars. Members include collectors, social participants, and drivers who receive instruction and compete in club championships.
