And so it begins…
This morning at 5:30am, the dedicated teams of SupErb Construction, Triple T Excavating and Island Paving began the ambitious task of paving the entire main circuit of the track in one day.

Another Productive Tour
Last Thursday, we had the pleasure of hosting a small delegation from Mercedes-Benz and AMG. We were able to show them the new partner hotel and the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit in its current state.
A Circuit is born
On October 27, 2015, the next significant step toward making our vision come to life will be realized with the laying of the road surface onto the meticulously prepared aggregate base course.
An evening with great company
On Thursday October 15th, our friends at Rudi & Company, world renowned automotive restorer and former owner of Pacific Competition Developments, joined us for an exclusive look at the current progress of the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit.
The First Lap
Sit back and turn up the volume as you enjoy the first lap of our state-of-the art Motorsport Resort.
A Life in Building the Fast Lane
When the GAIN Dealer Group first began to consider the this project, the decision was taken to seek advice and instruction from the very best in the field. Tilke GMBH & Co, the world’s foremost designer of race and test facilities, was invited to assist.
The Clubhouse is taking form
In the short time since our previous update, the Clubhouse has quickly risen from its initial forms. Brickwork has now risen to the second-story level.
Corner Kerbing Nearing Completion
Survey work and form construction are nearly complete for the corner kerbing. Tilke Engineering has designed the VIMOR circuit to FIA standards, which provides precise instructions pertaining to the layout of the circuit, including such details as the kerbs.
Track Update – October 2, 2015
Over the next few weeks the circuit will take on its permanent appearance. Tilke Engineering’s design requires that the grading and leveling is referenced at least every metre and compared to the design drawings. While time consuming, this attention to detail will result in a perfect track surface.
Track update: Grading is almost complete
It’s clear to see what Tilke GMBH & Co had in mind when they designed the circuit. Forms to create the curbing will begin to be placed within the next week. The track will then receive a light “crush” topping (a light aggregate) prior to final grading.
