On the edge of the Sonoran Desert south of Phoenix, APEX Motor Club offers something that most collectors cannot find at an ordinary country club: two purpose-built road courses, private garages beside the action, and a community of people who would rather talk about a perfect lap than a perfect golf swing.
Located in Maricopa, Arizona, APEX is an operating, members-focused motorsport club where enthusiasts can drive performance cars, improve their skills, compete in organized events, and spend time with fellow collectors. Now, following an ownership change and a roughly $30 million investment announcement, the property is moving into another phase of development that places even more emphasis on luxury garage condominiums and social life at the track.
Sports cars take to the track at APEX Motor Club, a private driving and collector community in Maricopa, Arizona.
Arizona’s long driving season and wide-open desert views are part of the appeal. But for a serious enthusiast, the real attraction is the opportunity to keep a special car close to the circuit, enjoy it regularly, and share the experience with people who understand the passion behind it.
APEX Motor Club Enters a New Era with a $30 Million Investment Plan
In April 2025, RJT Capital, a Phoenix-based family office led by John Hensler, became the sole owner of APEX Motor Club. The ownership announcement outlined approximately $30 million in investment intended to accelerate the development of additional facilities.
The announced program includes 48 additional private garage condominiums and a premium clubhouse, building on the club’s established racing operations. RJT Capital had also helped finance the completion of APEX’s second circuit, a separate investment reported at approximately $20 million.
The distinction matters: the second racetrack is operating, while the new clubhouse and garage-condo additions have been announced as expansion projects. Buyers and members should confirm the current construction and delivery status directly with APEX rather than assume every planned amenity has already opened.
For collectors, the investment signals a broader vision of APEX as a luxury motorsport community rather than simply a racetrack where members arrive, drive, and leave.
Two Private Racetracks and a 4.5-Mile Combined Circuit
APEX’s original circuit, known as Track One, is a 2.27-mile road course designed to reward precise braking, smooth transitions, and confident cornering. The club credits circuit designer Bob Barnard for its layout, with fast sweepers and technical sections that challenge drivers without requiring professional racing experience.
Track Two, a 2.5-mile course completed as part of the club’s expansion, adds a different rhythm with sweeping corners, elevation changes, and high-speed sections. APEX says professional drivers associated with Flying Lizard and Heart of Racing helped refine its driving characteristics.
The circuits can also be connected into a 4.5-mile combined driving configuration. APEX markets three driving layouts in total: Track One, Track Two, and the combined course. Its website also promotes a straightaway measuring approximately 3,400 feet, although one passage on its track page lists a different length, so the exact straightaway measurement should be confirmed if used for technical comparisons.
Competition and camaraderie are part of the APEX experience, with racing events and celebrations bringing members together.
The emphasis is on driving as well as racing. Members may bring everything from modern Porsches, Ferraris, McLarens, and Corvettes to vintage sports cars and dedicated track machines, subject to the club’s operating and safety rules. Driver coaching and track-car rental opportunities add ways for members to improve their skills or experience different cars.
APEX opened in 2019 and occupies a roughly 280-acre property in Maricopa, putting serious circuit driving within reach of the greater Phoenix and Scottsdale collector community.
Track days at APEX bring together high-performance cars, driver preparation, and the people who keep them running.
Luxury Trackside Car Condos Put Collectors Just Steps from Pit Lane
For many collectors, the garage condominiums are every bit as exciting as the road courses. Rather than trailering a prized track car from home or leaving a collector vehicle in conventional storage, an owner can create a personalized garage retreat at the motorsport club itself.
APEX advertises 1,250-square-foot private trackside garage condos, with the option of a 625-square-foot mezzanine and balcony overlooking the activity. Base utility provisions include mechanical, plumbing, heating and cooling, and electrical infrastructure, while the lower level can accommodate a bathroom and shop sink.
That open layout gives owners opportunities to create very different spaces: a carefully lit showroom for a classic Ferrari, a functional workshop for a Porsche GT3, or a social lounge above a collection of American muscle cars. Optional upgrades may include vehicle lifts, cabinetry, specialty flooring, display lighting, and comfortable mezzanine seating.
APEX combines private racetrack access with customizable garage-condo spaces for members’ performance and collector cars.
The club’s current website says trackside garage condos are available, and it promotes 96 trackside garages in its overall offering. That marketing figure should not be confused with a verified count of units already built, sold, or occupied. The announced 48-garage expansion is part of the club’s continuing development program, and prospective buyers should request the latest inventory, purchase terms, association costs, and delivery schedule.
Garage ownership and track membership are separate questions. Anyone considering a purchase should confirm which driving privileges, membership requirements, and ongoing charges apply to a particular unit.
More Than Garages: Vehicle Storage and Race-Team Facilities
Not every collector needs to own a garage condominium. APEX also advertises The APEX Vault, a concierge vehicle-storage service with climate and fire-control features, intended to keep cars nearby and ready for track use.
The property also promotes commercial and paddock-oriented spaces designed for teams, professional preparation, maintenance, and other motorsport operations. Together, these options serve owners who want anything from secure storage for a weekend sports car to a dedicated base for a more serious racing program.
A Social Community Built Around Cars, Competition, and Desert Sunsets
What makes APEX different from a typical storage development is the community surrounding the cars. Members gather for track days, driving instruction, competitions, hosted events, and time spent talking in one another’s garages. For collectors who enjoy the social side of ownership, the paddock can be as rewarding as the circuit.
The club promotes member hospitality and a clubhouse experience overlooking its two courses, with trackside dining, viewing areas, and space to spend time with family and friends. Its larger premium clubhouse has also been identified as a major component of the announced investment program; the current status of individual facilities should be checked with the club.
APEX’s racing calendar includes the McLaren Scottsdale APEX Challenge Series, a members-focused competition program that brings drivers together over multiple race weekends. Beyond lap times and trophies, these events create an ongoing reason for members to return, reconnect, and share their cars.

APEX Motor Club Membership Fees and Access
APEX currently publishes several membership levels, making it easier to compare the cost of access than when the club first opened. The figures below were advertised on the official APEX membership page when this article was updated in October 2026. They may change, and the website labels the second amount simply as a “fee” without clearly identifying the billing period.
| Membership | Initiation fee | Additional listed fee* |
|---|---|---|
| Under-35 | $25,000 | $4,500 |
| Gold | $70,000 | $8,000 |
| Platinum | $90,000 | $15,000 |
| One-Year | $0 | $35,000 |
| Corporate | $240,000 | $32,000 |
*APEX’s published membership page does not consistently state the payment period for these additional fees. Confirm dues, taxes, guest policies, and contract terms directly with the club.
The club advertises more than 240 annual track-access days, with privileges varying by tier. Gold members receive access for immediate family and certain monthly guest allowances, while Platinum adds priority booking, additional guests, and opportunities for private track days. The club also lists an Under-35 category, a one-year option, and a corporate membership for businesses.
Membership is about more than the right to turn laps: it provides a connection to an established private driving community. Still, prospective members should verify current availability, restrictions, guest access, instruction, rental arrangements, and any garage-ownership requirements with the membership team.
What’s Next for APEX Motor Club?
APEX is already an operating motorsport facility with two circuits and an active member community. Its next chapter centers on the expansion announced under RJT Capital: more private garage condominiums, enhanced hospitality, and additional amenities intended to make the property a destination for collectors and their families.
For someone considering a luxury car condo near Phoenix, the appeal is straightforward. A private garage can become both a home for the collection and a gathering place where fellow enthusiasts stop by after a driving session. Outside the garage door, there is a functioning motorsport club—and a desert sunset to finish the day.
