Flatrock Motorsports Park

It's happening. The company that built COTA is building this one also. Different owners.

Flatrock Motorsports Park on Facebook. Fim approved. Will be able to host MotoGP, Motoamerica and club races. The track layouts are on there Facebook page. I know a couple people that have some insider info. Located outside Knoxville about 45 minutes.

This news article was a bit back. The Facebook page shows the videos of construction.

Another Tilke designed track?

Configuration C doesn't look right, the Club track looks shorter than the National track but the numbers say otherwise.

 

It’s not April 1, don’t tease me like this.

 

Hopefully they do a better job laying the foundation for the track surface then they did for COTA.

 

Damn, 12 hours from me. That's a bit too far unfortunately. Can't wait to see the videos!

 

Hopefully they build it with motorcycle safety in mind. Doubtful... not holding my breath

 

Did you go look and read where it said it will be fim approved. That gp, superbikes, and club racing, would be safe?

 

That’s cool!

Where does it state that? I looked on their FB page but could not find many details.

 

Track D configuration - MotoGP/Superbikes.

 

Thanks. I did not see that.

 

Thanks. I missed that other pic. Counterclockwise I see. Must be Marquez fans!

 

Thats a reason to boycot it already!!

 

The issue with COTA is not necessarily the laying of the foundation but rather the entire soil sub structure itself. Basically no amount of laying in a foundation would change this. The track was built on suspect ground to begin with.

 

At first glance I thought someone might have bought this place that I grew up across the street from.

 

Dang, I was gonna post up with some BS about how I won't believe it until they break ground, but their facegores page has a video of all the earth-moving going on. Maybe this one will really happen.

 

Same. My brother ran a street stock there for a few years.
