Road course designed by F1 vet being built next to Charlotte Motor Speedway

( QUEEN CITY NEWS ) — A new road course designed by an F1 veteran will be built across from the Charlotte Motor Speedway, Speedway Motorsports and Rick Hendrick announced Thursday.

The new 100-acre complex will be known as the Ten Tenths Motor Club .

Operated by Speedway Motorsports, the Ten Tenths Motor Club will include:

• The Ten Tenths Circuit, a purpose-built, lighted road course with three configurations for high-performance driving
• The Ten Tenths Clubhouse, a 20,000-square-foot special event facility
• A members’ garage featuring secure, climate-controlled storage, cigar lounge, bourbon bar and putting course
• An expansive off-road driving trail

“Our vision for Ten Tenths is to create an experiential destination that can be enjoyed by everyone from professional race car drivers to high-performance driving enthusiasts and car collectors,” said Marcus Smith, president, and CEO of Speedway Motorsports. “It’s the most expansive property development at Charlotte Motor Speedway since we built zMAX Dragway in 2008, and further enhances our desire to innovate for the future.”

Located outside Turns 1 and 2 of Charlotte Motor Speedway, the Ten Tenths Motor Club will host its grand opening with the Smith Heritage Invitational automotive experience on April 4-5, 2025.

“In addition to a premier track design and driving experience, Ten Tenths will have unparalleled resources and infrastructure to support every customer and organization we touch,” said Rick Hendrick, chairman and CEO of Hendrick Auto Group and owner of Hendrick Motorsports.

Construction on the Ten Tenths Circuit is nearly complete, while work on the Clubhouse is underway. F1 veteran and former 24 Hours of Le Mans two-time winner Alexander Wurz designed the new course.
