The Concours Club is set to open. The Miami Concours Presented by Chopard will be the first official track event to take place at the new facility on February 15. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/20/your-money/automotive-country-clubs.html BHW Image Unavailable, Please Login
Cool. Wish they also had a kart track like Atlanta. Now that PBIR is permanently closed there is no where but Homestead.
Someone was killed on the PBIR go-kart track? When was this? I'm sure the Concours Club would have included a karting track a-la Monticello Motorsport Club but looking at the map of the facility, there's just not the space. Although, they may just cordon off a section of the track for karting. BHW Image Unavailable, Please Login

I do remember hearing about a kid who flipped his kart, it landed on top of him, fuel leaked out, it ignited and he was severely burned. Evidently, their insurance handler told them no more. BHW
That was a different incident within the paddock during an event. Unfortunately a 16 year old girl died using the rentals a few years back which put them out of business. I can’t imagine how difficult it is to insure any type of track. Who knows what the fallout will be at PBIR from the recent Lamborghini death. Sadly, the lawyers go after everyone they can.
Yes, what a shame. Especially since urban sprawl threatens PBIR, they improved the facilities to thwart what surely is coming (eventually) with neighborhoods encroaching on the site with the usual noise complaints. We had a lot of fun on the go-kart track there especially at the Endurance Karting events. Good times. BHW
