One of Tampa’s most thrilling clubs isn’t for everyone. In fact, it’s limited to 100 memberships. But for those lucky 100 members, it’s ready to change your Sundays for the better. The Pirelli Drivers Club at The Motor Enclave is unlike any other members only club in North America, giving local high-performance auto owners a safe and controlled racetrack environment minutes from downtown Tampa.
Perks of the club run the gamut from Sundays by the pool to socializing with food and drink, but the experience is built around The Motor Enclave’s 1.72-mile Hard Rock Speedway: a circuit designed by Formula 1 track architect Hermann Tilke, laid out on a 200-acre campus that’s home to the largest private garage community in the world. 50 Sundays a year, members arrive to hit the track and very literally put the pedal to the metal. Applications for individual memberships and corporate memberships (you + 3) are open now.
The experience isn’t just limited to the Hard Rock Speedway. Members can bring off-roaders and explore 100 acres of off-road trails. There are monthly challenges on the 2-acre Vehicle Dynamics Pad, timed against your peers. Members have access to state-of-the-art driving simulators to sharpen their skills and can even take advantage of on-site service and performance garage, The Enclave Speed Shop.
But yes, the main draw is speeding down the straightaways and hugging the curves on one of the smoothest track in the country. And you don’t have to drive an exotic car or something made exclusively for racing. This club was created for all driver levels, whether an experienced racer or a weekend warrior, The Pirelli Driver’s Club is for you.
Track sessions run in three groups separated by skill level: the first-timer, the improving intermediate, and the driver who’s been at it a lifetime. The setup makes it a club for everyone and a setting where all have a place on track at their own pace.
Tampa’s most adrenaline-fueled social club
Of course, like any great club, there’s more than just the driving. The Pirelli Drivers Club also functions as a social club. While Sundays are for driving, the fun runs all weekend, as Saturdays also give members access to the resort-style Enclave Beach Club, which includes a private pool, bar & grill. You can even have food delivered right to you during Sunday driving sessions.
There are also quarterly happy hours for members. Perks include an all-inclusive Members Award Dinner at the end of every year as well, and if you’ve ever been to special event at The Motor Enclave, you know what kind of party you’re in for.
On the car side, each member is also gifted a year-round media package, which includes professional photos of your car on the track and in the pits on select dates throughout the year. And if you’re weekly Sunday ride isn’t enough, members also get preferred private track rental pricing.
Altogether, it’s the ultimate club for car lovers in the Tampa Bay Area. You get the thrill of the ride every Sunday, followed by a quick swim in the pool, a drink at the bar, and relaxed time around people who appreciate cars as much as you do. Learn more and apply for membership here.
