What to know about track clubs in Michigan
Michigan's private club is M1 Concourse in Pontiac — an 87-acre automotive campus inside metro Detroit built around private garage condominiums, with the 1.5-mile, 13-turn Champion Motor Speedway running through the site.
M1 is a different product from a destination circuit. The core purchase is a garage condominium with track access outside the door; the Car Club individual membership is listed publicly at $22,500, and a Motorsports Club opened to non-owners for 2026 with pricing quoted individually. Garage condominiums have traded actively, which matters if you care about resale.
Practical considerations for Michigan: the lap is short with limited high-speed content, and an urban site brings sound and time restrictions. The upside is genuine — no two-hour drive to reach your cars, an event calendar that runs all season, and 35 minutes from downtown Detroit.
Common questions about Michigan track clubs
- Is there a private race track in metro Detroit?
- Yes — M1 Concourse in Pontiac, about 35 minutes from downtown Detroit. It combines private garage condominiums with the 1.5-mile Champion Motor Speedway performance track.
- What does an M1 Concourse membership cost?
- The Car Club individual membership is listed at $22,500 on the club's own online store. Garage condominium prices and the newer Motorsports Club are quoted individually.
- Is M1 Concourse a full road course?
- Not in the traditional sense. It is a 1.5-mile, 13-turn performance track designed for a compact urban site, so it suits shakedowns, driving events and community days more than long-lap circuit driving.
