Further to our January vote approval with the Osoyoos Indian Band (OIB), we’re making the last preparations before starting track construction. Funding is in place to complete the project, the circuit is at the final stage of engineering, and we’re working with the OIB and the AANDC on our 99 year lease.

Once the lease is finalized, we’re ready to begin earthworks – by our estimation, that should be this summer. The February track walk gave us an opportunity to see things not noticeable by computer simulation, and we’ve made subtle improvements. Our intention is to host a wide variety of vehicles and motorsport activities, from vintage racers to superbikes, exotic cars, and stockers. In anticipating this type of use, the engineering demands are far greater than what is required for a driver training circuit or simple country club style track
