The design of a new international road race circuit - Arizona International Raceway @ Attesa - has been finalized and site plans submitted to Pinal County, Arizona, officials to begin the permitting process. Construction of the new track will begin immediately upon county approvals.
Attesa is a proposed master-planned motorsports, entertainment and advanced technology research community located 43 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
"The Phase 1 pro track will be 16 turns and 2.65 miles long,” said Dan Erickson, Managing Partner of construction firm Danrick Builders, “built to Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) and Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) standards with multiple configurations and significant elevation changes. Phase 2 will expand the pro circuit to 4.25 miles and add a high-performance driving school and skid pad, closed-course off-road track, plus testing facilities for manufacturers, racing teams and aftermarket suppliers.”
“Arizona International Raceway @ Attesa will also have a membership club including clubhouse, private garages, residential opportunities, an RV park and more.” he added. “When finished, AIR will have three different circuits, all able to be used at the same time, each able to be raced in both directions. This is important as there are half dozen amateur Arizona sports car and motorcycle racing organizations that need a permanent home track.”
“The racers demand options and different track layouts. We’re going to deliver.” Said Erickson. “And we’ll be the only other track besides ISM Raceway, a NASCAR oval, that is permanently zoned for racing. Our club members and guests will have no worries about sound restrictions, hours of operation or losing an investment due to a cancelled use permit. ”
England’s Apex Circuit Design Ltd is responsible for the new complex at Attesa.
“AIR @ Attesa will be our first internationally-sanctioned road racing circuit in America,” said Dafydd Broom, design director of Apex Circuit Design. “This facility in Arizona is one of our most exciting projects as we’ve refined the track significantly since we began work with Attesa four years ago. Our final design, we believe, will truly be world class and fan entertaining, and attractive to the fastest series in open wheel, prototype, motorcycle and saloon racing.”
