Atlanta Motorsports Park and track - Sports Cars, Karts and Supermoto

Welcome

Atlanta Motorsports Park (AMP) is a road course designed by famed Formula One architects, Hermann Tilke. AMP will be the first green, sustainable motorsports facility and country club of its kind. Instead of the typical country club with a golf course at its center, at AMPs heart will be a 2-mile road course with elevation changes, technical course layout, high speed straights and two ‘signature’ corners designed to pay homage to famed European race courses; Belgium’s Spa-Francochamps and the iconic ‘Carousel’ from Germany’s Nürburgring. Incorporating these most famous and exciting of all of motorsports only hints at the lengths

AMP has gone to in creating this world-class facility. Among other aspects to broaden the family and country club appeal is a world class kart and autocross track, clubhouse, restaurants, private garages, tennis courts, and swimming pool.

AMP members will also be able to enjoy reciprocal driving privileges at Calabogie Motorsports (Ontario), Circuit ICAR (Quebec), Miller Motorsports Park (Utah), MSR Houston (Texas), and Palm Beach International Raceway (Florida).

This world class facility is being created with the “green” objective of reducing our carbon footprint. This formula includes a sustainable building design, Falcon Waterless urinals, Sloan (Solar Powered) dual flow toilets, Sloan (Solar Powered) automatic water faucets, tank-less water heaters, reclaimed water for the irrigation system, recycling of garbage and oil, the maximum efficiency HVAC available today, thermal resistant windows, supplementary insulation, and the use of high-efficient lighting, LED and florescent bulbs.

An important part of AMP’s cultural goal is to bring the family unit back together. Our design includes interactive amenities to facilitate this wholesome environment. Some examples are an indoor/outdoor play area, pool, fitness center, restaurant, tennis court, basketball court, fire pit, hiking trails, kart track, clubhouse, showers and lockers. In addition to the amenities included on the property, directly across the road and within walking distance, Stillwater Farms offers a variety of activities including riding lessons, boarding, trail rides at both facilities, storytelling, arts, crafts and birthday parties. A "day at the track" means a good time with a fun-filled or relaxing time for all, not just the driver.
