The year round operations at the resort are located in Canada’s only Mediterranean climate, boasting the highest sunshine hours in British Columbia with warm and dry summer and mild winters, according to the company. The race track will offer a large driving dynamic area featuring a skid pad, 14,000 square foot clubhouse, presentation centre, observation deck, and four pit/paddock garages.
