Apex Motor Club is a private racetrack constructed in 2019 in Maricopa, Arizona, 30 minutes away from Phoenix, as a place for motorsports fans to race their vehicles and develop their driving skills. It works on a membership-based basis, granting club members full access to the track 275 days a year, although racing at the summer peak with ambient temperatures over 100 °F is a tough challenge both for cars and pilots. The desert climate of the Grand Canyon State means a dry track surface year-round, with plenty of sunny days and a landscape of stunning open spaces from the driver's perspective.
There are two road courses in Apex Motor Club called Phase I and Phase II. Phase I is a 2.27-mile circuit with 12 turns of varying angles featuring a 40-feet wide track in all its trajectory. The Phase II circuit is 2.15-mile long and sits in the northern part of the club. The southernmost stretch of the raceway is a 3,400-feet long straightaway ideal for passing and getting to top speeds. The average velocity in Apex Motor Club is 76 mph. Club members are welcome to participate in the Apex Race Series, an amateur competition featuring streetcars and race cars organized in several categories.
The Phase II configuration at Apex Motor Club represents the expansion beyond the original Phase I circuit, adding additional track sections to Arizona's exclusive private racing facility. Located in Maricopa, Phase II extends the facility's infrastructure beyond the foundational 2.27-mile Phase I layout. The expansion reflects Apex's growth as membership demand increased, providing additional track options and capacity for the private club's affluent membership base.
Operating Phase II showcases Apex Motor Club's evolution from single-circuit facility to comprehensive motorsport complex. Arizona's high desert climate creates extreme temperature variations with summer track temperatures exceeding 65C. The Phase II addition allows the facility to accommodate multiple groups simultaneously or offer layout variety to members across different visit days, enhancing the value proposition for members who've invested in exclusive private track access without public day congestion.
