Data Room · Circuit Engagement & RFP Status

Nine Circuits. Ready To Sign.

Every rental office on the calendar is identified, the market's commercial terms are mapped, the RFP package is written, and deposit capital is the first line out of tranche one. This board shows exactly where each circuit stands — and what happens the week funding closes.

Rev 08.07.2026 · Budgets reconcile to the Season Economics Workbook
Two paths, one board (Aug 2026): the nine-circuit board below is the full championship season — it contracts for 2027 if funding closes early enough, otherwise for the following year. The base plan opens with the three-event Year One Invitational — Road Atlanta, Silverstone, Las Vegas — whose venue engagements begin the week funding closes.
01 · How This Market Actually Works

Pro-tier circuits don't publish prices. Readiness is the asset.

Our research swept the exclusive-hire market end to end, and the structural finding is consistent: major circuits sell exclusive weekends by direct negotiation only — quote-only, through named rental and privatisation offices, with no public rate cards (club-level tracks publish; the pro tier does not). That means nobody "shops" this market; you engage it — with the right office, the right specification, and capital ready for a deposit. All three are in place. Where real pricing does exist — Fuji's official exclusive rate card, Interlagos' municipal contract values, a landmark all-in turnkey precedent at a US Grand Prix circuit — the model uses it, then budgets above it.

Basis detail per round lives in the Season Economics Workbook (this room). US benchmark set includes the published all-in turnkey precedent at a US GP circuit (~$50–55K/day with track manager, corner workers, emergency personnel and timing included) — our rounds are budgeted at or above that tier.

03 · What The RFP Asks For

One package, nine addressees, tuned per venue: three consecutive days of exclusive circuit use on named date windows · the full services stack (15–25 staffed marshal stations, dual ALS ambulances, fire/rescue, recovery, race control and timing) quoted bundled or itemized · insurance requirements and named-insured structure · the circuit's damage-recharge schedule · payment and cancellation terms · broadcast infrastructure, signage and branding rights.

04 · The Commercial Terms We're Built For
Deposits: the market norm for exclusive venue hire is ~50% on signature, balance ~30 days out. At that norm, holding all eight exclusive weekends costs ≈$770K of deposits — first-out capital in tranche one, already inside the $1.535M circuit line. Nothing about the deposit schedule strains the drawdown.
Cancellation: published sliding scales at comparable venues run from full credit at 45+ days to forfeiture inside ~20 days. Our calendar is set 12+ months out, so we sit on the free side of every published scale — and weekends are transferable assets if a date must move.
Insurance: exclusive private hire clusters around a $5M general-liability requirement with the circuit as additional insured (≈$1.3K/day when placed through the venue). Carried as its own ops line in the model.
Damage: circuits recharge barrier and surface damage per published-style schedules (the most transparent public example prices guardrail at ~$31–69/m installed and an average incident near $2K). Bounded, small, and absorbed by the contingency line.

Sources: deposit + balance norms — published venue rental agreements (50%-on-signing pattern across exclusive-hire contracts); cancellation scales — published circuit and operator policies (45/20-day credit tiers; 56/28-day refund tiers); $5M GL + ~$1.3K/day placement and itemized services rates — published US club-circuit rate schedules; damage schedule — the Nürburgring's published incident price list; Silverstone services-bundled exclusive hire — circuit's published hire page.

05 · The Week Funding Closes

Day 1–5: RFPs issue to all eight exclusive venues with named 2027 date windows. Weeks 2–6: quotes return; the workbook's ceiling-plus-buffer lines are replaced by contracted figures — every one of which we expect to land at or under budget, because the budget was built above the researched ceiling on purpose. On signature: deposits wire, dates lock, and the 2027 calendar goes from ambition to contract. Bathurst's entry is filed in the same window.

For investors. Statuses reflect engagement readiness as of August 2026; figures are budget ceilings pending contracted quotes. An aspirational championship in development — only Road Atlanta is confirmed; all other circuits represent the ambition the calendar grows toward.
