UK firm Apex designs major Arizona circuit
A new motorsport hub designed by British race track engineering firm Apex Circuit Design is to be built in Arizona in the United States.
Attesa will feature two 2.6-mile road courses, a karting track, a driver experience area and also capacity for other multi-surface events. It is also aiming to become a centre for transport design innovation and educational partnerships with companies in the automotive industry.
“Attesa will be the optimum racing entertainment destination that will draw guests from all over the world, driving new jobs and contributing taxes to local economies,” says Dan Erickson of Danrick Builders, which has announced the project.
“Our model is incomparable to any other development in the United States. We’ll combine speed, luxury experiences and motorsports opportunities for individuals from all walks of life.”
It is hoped the circuit could attract major events in the long-term, with the track built to a standard capable of holding Indycar, Motogp and international sportscar racing.
