Automotive Country Club Heading to Howell

A father and son duo plan to bring a multimillion-dollar automotive country club and garage development to a 270 acre site owned by the city of Howell. Motorsports Gateway includes 67 private garage suite units and a 2.2 mile European-inspired road course. Previously the duo owned JD Racing Indoor Karting in Novi but sold it in January. The first phase of Motorsports Gateway includes the track, garage suites, a pit lane clubhouse and amenities, and a $65 million price tag. Groundbreaking should take place next summer, and phase one should be completed by the end of 2025. Phase two calls for an auto innovation park and mixed-use construction that will cost an additional $35 million.
