UK born Alex Waters began his career karting. He then moved up to Formula Ford where he collected a 'Rookie of the Year' award.

Private orientations commenced in January, giving members and their families the perfect excuse to escape the cold or quarantine. Each Member was paired with a professional instructor and their individual orientation program was tailored to their skill and experience level. Members and their families had a chance to familiarize themselves with the circuit, review rules and regulations, and of course, enjoy some laps.

The Concours Club construction is progressing at a rapid pace and we are close to announcing the date of our full opening. The Concours One building's various bays are ready, Brad Kilgore's kitchen is complete, and the Member's Lounge is in its final stages. The main member entry awaits the final landscaping.

The circuit-side Paddock Lounge and the solar-powered canopy will finish construction in the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned for more updates as we enter this exciting phase.

The Concours Club is now the only motorsport facility to offer GPX Stream's Live Camera System in all of our fleet cars. Designed by championship-winning racer, Jeff Segal, this advanced coaching system is superior to right-seat instruction. Rather than riding inside the car, coaches now monitor live cameras and telemetry to provide drivers with real-time remote feedback.

"Jeff Segal’s GPX Stream is nothing short of a complete game-changer. This tool, in the hands of a top-tier driving instructor, takes data and video that was previously used as a historical review and makes it real-time. Instead of an instructor reviewing driving errors from a previous session, they can now see and correct errors as they occur. 

Utilizing the Live Camera System, we have already seen a compression of learning curve and many of our inexperienced members are getting up to pace on an incredibly short and previously unimaginable timeline.

In addition to speeding the learning process, removing instructors from the passenger seat creates a safer working environment making it easier for us to recruit and retain the finest driving instructors in the world. Our members also appreciate the ability to get professional real-time feedback."

-President of The Concours Club, Aaron Weiss

Watch GPX's Live Camera Streaming System as Concours Club instructor, Pierre Kleinubing, pushes our BMW M2 CS Racing car around the circuit.

Helio Castroneves put the newest addition to the Club's fleet, the BMW M2 CS Racing, to the test. The M2CSR offers an unparalleled driving experience for all levels of ability. The factory-built racer is an ideal car for the circuit and the adjustable power level is perfect for both new or experienced drivers. The BMW M2CSR will be the platform for our member-only spec racing series. As of today, eight members have purchased TCC-spec'd M2CSR cars from our allocation. Once we reach 10 entrants, we will begin our spec series.

What do you think of the M2CS overall?

I was very fortunate to drive the M2CSR at The Concours Club. The car's basic handling was really good, right out of the box, this is a proper racecar. My biggest surprise was to find that it has air conditioning. This will really help in South Florida. 

I thought the AC would cost performance, but I was able to do the same lap times with it on and off. The M2's performance was really impressive. In terms of balance, it wasn't scary, I've driven very scary racecars before, this was incredibly forgiving and a lot of fun.

Do you think it's a good car for someone with your experience as well as a rookie?

It is a great platform for any driver, experienced or inexperienced. The basic setup is pretty comfortable but still challenging at the same time. For you to get the lap time when you have experience, is still very tough but it's not that hard for somebody that doesn't have the experience to reach a respectable lap time. It's a great platform for a beginners and experienced drivers and will provide for some great races.

What is your favorite thing about the M2 CS Racing?

One of the things that I felt and thought was very impressive was the traction control. It was smooth. I spent three years in IMSA with Acura DPI and I know when the traction control is on and when the traction is off. And I'll tell you what, I was able to drive with it on and off and the car drove really, really well either way. I cant find any negatives about this car. It's reliable, which is critical when you want to drive every day or just come here, start the engine and go. This is the perfect car for country club use. It has the dynamics of a race car, but the forgiveness and comfort of a road car.

We collected a tremendous amount of data during member orientations. Congratulations to Michael Dinan on setting fastest lap!

We also measure a driver's consistency by averaging the 10 fastest laps. In this category, Mark Issa led the field with fastest 10-lap average as well as the ultra low lap time variance of .18%. Watch the video as Issa shares his thoughts on the M2CSR and the Member Racing Series.

In the spirit of merging driver safety with the very best in luxury and design, The Concours Club has chosen Sabelt as a key supplier. Members will enjoy custom racing gear made by Italy’s leading manufacturer of automotive safety equipment.

There is Porsche customization, and then there is Singer. Car designer, Rob Dickinson, transforms vintage 911s into one-of-a-kind, air-cooled works of art. This example is called "Telluride." We were thrilled to see this rare beauty out on the circuit. President, Aaron Weiss' opinion is that this is "the world's most perfect car."

Porsche's newest customer racer, the Cayman GT4 Clubsport MR, may be the most ideal track-focused platform available. Featuring a mid-mounted 425HP flat 6, the GT4 Clubsport is ideally balanced and perfect for the technical challenges of The Concours Club's circuit. We are aware of at least five members who have recently purchased these vehicles and anticipate their entrance into our open class member race group.

The Bugatti Chiron is a modern automotive masterpiece. With a quad-turbocharged 1500HP W16 engine, the Chiron achieves 0-60mph in 2.3 seconds and has a ludicrous top speed of 261MPH. This is as much art as transportation.
