Motorsports Gateway Howell’s South Circuit is now paved, marking a significant milestone in the 273-acre development in Livingston County, Mich.
This achievement, managed in partnership with AJAX Paving Industries, is a major accomplishment in creating a premier private motorsports destination in Southeast Michigan.
The South Circuit, designed by Driven International, is a 1.75-mile, 40-foot-wide, 15-turn road course featuring 140 feet of elevation change, a half-mile straight and turns with up to 15 degrees of banking, designed to provide an exhilarating and challenging driving experience for drivers of all skill levels.
“We’re incredibly proud to see the South Circuit come to life,” said Eli Bayless, head of communications at Motorsports Gateway Howell. “My first lap left me feeling thrilled with a deep craving for more. The 17-foot ascent through Turn 10 leading into the 1/2-mile straightaway and the technical challenge of Turns 13, 14, and 15 are my favorite features of the South Circuit. We cannot wait to share this technical track with our members and hear what features they enjoy the most.”
The South Circuit is the centerpiece of the Motorsports Gateway Howell Drivers Club, offering a mix of practice and competitive driving opportunities for members of the exclusive motorsports club. To aid in safe track operations, sessions will be grouped by vehicle type, two-wheel and four-wheel, and driver skill level: Novice, Amateur, and Professional.
The circuit will also be equipped with a digital marshaling system and a timing and scoring system, empowering members to take their driving skills to the next level.
