A motorsports park that could cost more than $50 million and cover more than 300 acres has been proposed at Horizon Center in west Oak Ridge.

The Oak Ridge City Council will consider a resolution expressing support for the project during their meeting Monday night (February 10, 2020).

The planned motorsports park would have a road course suitable for FIA (Federation Internationale de L’Automobile) sanctioned events, such as Formula E, Indy Car, IMSA, NASA, and other sanctioning bodies.

Besides the race course, the motorsports park would have an amphitheater with a mix of permanent and lawn seating for more than 7,000 people. Other planned amenities include a karting track, restaurants, pro shop, garages, day and overnight lodging, a recreational vehicle park, walking trails and indoor and outdoor meeting spaces.
