F1 brought racing to the masses. Now Florida developers are bringing the track to your backyard. P1 Motor Club is a $200-million development in St. Lucie County built around a 4.5-mile Formula 1-style track, garage townhouses, and a 650-acre motorsports campus. The first phase of condos sold out more than a year before opening.
