Video: Ripping around P1 Motor Club’s (unpaved) track in a Mercedes-AMG GT is our kind of circuit tour

The best way to enjoy a new, freshly graded–but unpaved–circuit?

If you’re Chris Duplessis, the “Director of Fun” at Southeast Florida’s P1 Motor Club, you tear it up in a Mercedes-AMG GT.

With the track layout fully visible and the road base compacted,” says P1 Motor Club, “we are counting down the days until paving begins in May.”

Lookin cool!  Hoping for some opportunity for normies to experience the facility.   I just drove the Enclave course for the first time last weekend.  It was great, but it took 3 years for them to offer to let regular people drive it (at $500 for one hour of track time).

Cars on dirt (or snow, when available) is just plain fun.

I remember when Red Bull Racing did something similar with its F1 car while the Circuit of The Americas was being constructed.

I'm kinda a fan of the gravel surface. Let it rip!
