LuxShare

http://www.luxshareautoclub.com/
Imagine a world of luxury, sport, and exotic automobiles at your immediate disposal. Now remove the inconveniences and costs associated with ownership. Welcome to the LuxShare Auto Club, where the only worry you will have is which road to take to your destination. Owners of super premium motorcars often lack the free time to enjoy these exceptional vehicles, and subsequently their autos are often driven less than one thousand miles per year. The time spent driving is hardly worth the time and expense associated with the costs of repair and maintenance, cosmetic upkeep, insurance, taxes, and the valuable garage space required when the vehicle is not being enjoyed. Add to this the cost of yearly depreciation, the hassles of dead batteries, flat tires, the purchase and the sale of each vehicle, and ownership can be both expensive and time consuming. LuxShare Auto Club is introducing an experience far beyond ownership. For less than the annual depreciation on the average luxury automobile, members gain access to a spectacular fleet of exotic and luxury motorcars. Members receive renewable yearly allotments of points that are redeemable for use of these exceptional machines at their discretion. Apart from the yearly membership fees, the only additional associated cost is the fuel that is used. Amenities associated with membership in the LuxShare Auto Club will extend beyond access to the extensive fleet. While enjoying your time in one of the exotic, luxury or sports cars, allow our staff to arrange on-site complete detailing and storage of your personal automobile. Take advantage of our concierge service and arrange a chauffeured “evening out” in one of the premium luxury sedans. Tend to business on an urgent call or with an important client while our drivers negotiate traffic. Our chauffeur service can be expanded to meet all of your family or business needs. Simply let the driver know where you want and need to be, and your schedule becomes ours. Throughout the year the LuxShare Auto Club will host events in our impressive facilities. Expect to enjoy the company of other enthusiasts for poker nights, member dinners, tasting of fine wine, spirits, or cigars, Formula 1 race viewing, and birthday showers for new additions to the fleet.

Curvy Road

http://www.curvyroad.com/

Imagine owning part of a cutting edge super-car without ever having to worry about service, tires, tolls, storage or insurance coverage. Plus you will have $150,000 left over to invest in a place to drive to. CURVY ROAD’s Fractional Ownership Program: Puts you behind the wheel of an amazing automobile four to eight weeks per year (giving you access in multiple seasons of the year); Your car is reserved in advance and is ready to go when you are.

||||| TRACK CLUBS

VIR Motorsport Country Club
http://www.virclub.com/vir/
VIRginia International Raceway hosts amateur and professional automobile and motorcycle events, driving schools, club days and private test rentals. Built around the VIRginia International Raceway, the VIR Motorsport Country Club is a high performance driving venue that also offers extensive resort facilities. VIR is much more than just a racetrack. What was once a working farm and plantation dating back to the early 1800s opened in 1957 as one of the country’s first permanent road racing circuits. VIR hosted automobile and motorcycle racing through 1974, when the track was shuttered due to economic hardships. It lay fallow until 1998, when we discovered it and saw through the shadows of the weed-infested, overgrown facility, envisioning a racing venue that would provide entertainment and recreation for the entire family. What we saw in the 1200-acre site was the possibility to create America’s first true “motorsports resort,” a vacation destination centered around road racing. VIR reopened in 2000 and has received international rave reviews since. Today, VIR’s 3.27-mile circuit is exactly like it was in 1957, only widened just a bit with lots of safe run-off room and world-class facilities and amenities. The track now has two cross-overs that allow simultaneous events on the North (2.25-mile) and South (1.65-mile) courses. In 2003, the 1.1-mile Patriot Course was constructed by combining the two cross-overs, and can be used as a stand-alone circuit or combined with the full circuit to create a myriad of configurations, the longest of which is 4.2 miles. An 1840s-era house where the plantation owner’s family once lived has been restored for use as the Plantation Clubhouse, the centerpiece of the VIR Motorsports County Club, whose membership is continually growing. The track is booked nearly year-round for racing, testing, schools, television productions and corporate events.

Miller Motorsports Park
http://www.millermotorsportspark.com/
Miller Motorsports Park offers a variety of membership plans to meet the needs of everyone from first-time spectator to professional racer.  We welcome kart, car, and motorcycle enthusiasts at all levels. Miller Motorsports Park was named "Motorsports Facility of the Year" on Nov. 8 by the Professional Motorsport World Expo at a gala event held in Cologne, Germany. Alan Wilson, CEO/General Manager and track designer, accepted the award at the gathering of racing professionals from all over the world. The competition was judged by well-known racing professionals such as Michael Andretti of Andretti Green Racing, Tom Kristensen of Audi, and motor racing writer David Tremayne.

MotorSport Ranch
http://www.motorsportranch.com/
MotorSport Ranch is the first of its kind - a Country Club for motoring enthusiasts - including sports cars, race cars, and motorcycles. Established in 1996, the Ranch introduced and pioneered this new concept. Just as a golf country club centers its activities around a golf course, this club centers around a purpose-built road racing course. Two courses, actually, as a second road course has been added to the facility. Think of MotorSport Ranch as a place that its members go to satisfy that "need for speed". Many people own a sports or high performance car, or even a vintage race car. The Ranch is a place to explore the potential of these cars and for the drivers to develop and practice their skills. The Ranch offers convenience and accessibility for its members who do are able to treat performance driving as a sport or a hobby.

Autobahn Country Club
http://www.autobahncountryclub.net/
The Club’s philosophy is to satisfy each members’ driving desires. Along with providing ample time to utilize the track, the Club will stress cordial and prompt service to all of its members. Gauging the members desires and acting on those desires will ensure that the members have an enjoyable experience each time they visit Autobahn Country Club. The Club will continually monitor membership levels in order to balance track usage and the demands of the members. We recognize that excess membership and over usage will dampen the driving experience and lead to a long-term decline of members. Maintaining a sense of exclusivity and judging the members’ usage will lead to steady growth and increased enjoyment. In fact, the Club intends to impose a cap on total members after initial membership goals are achieved in order to properly monitor track availability and clubhouse usage. It is the desire that Club members will have more than sufficient time to enjoy the track with unrestricted use of the clubhouse facilities.

Club Ascari
http://www.ascari.net/

Bergrennenring
http://www.bergrennenring.com/
Bergrennenring (Pronunciation, Berg · renin · ring; German for "Hill Race Circuit") will be the first purpose-built road course complex in Texas. Unlike other grassroots track projects, Bergrennenring is being planned to offer a range of activities for the motorsport enthusiast family while seeking ASN/FIA homologation for professional race series. Several sites are being considered within an hour of Austin and San Antonio with access to major highways. Once there, members and visitors can access seven State parks, three rivers, golf courses, marinas, and historic towns like Fredericksburg within a short drive. At the heart of the Bergrennenring master plan will be two hillside motorsport tracks. The approximately 2.5 mile course (scheduled to be designed by world renowned, Formula One design firm, Tilke GmbH) will take its design cues from the three epic 2.5 mile circuits in North America: Watkins Glen, Road Atlanta, and Mosport. The approximately 1.8 mile course will feature a combination of challenging corners and additional run-off for both amateur and experienced drivers. Bergrennenring is being planned to accommodate both amateur and professional race series. Planned member amenities include: clubhouse, day spa, conference center, and a limited allocation of exclusive residential retreat lots. The experience is further enhanced by a concierge, European sports car import service, catered events, breathtaking spectator views and much more.

This, too, has nothing to do with sports.... plaes consider posting this in a more appropriate section.

It is not in the sports category so do not understand your comment. It is in the people category.

Why is that? It is new information on a new subject, and from the number of viewers it would seem quite a popular subject. It does not feature a product or service from a single vendor but an entire nascent industry. What am I missing? Seriously would like to do this right, what was wrong with posting so I can improve them in the future.

PS: From what I have been able to find, this list as published on Now Public is the only complete listing of these clubs available anywhere on the internet, as all other lists I have found are either piecemeal, provide little information, are incomplete or outdated. It is a budding industry whose model could become quite common in the years ahead not just for this type of thing but many others. In any case hope you see clear to leave it here, as I believe it renders a service, and the longer it is available, the more people will learn of it, and perhaps give some thought to what other things could be done in the same way.

I think that its good to be in here. Members also receive the Porsche Panorama magazine, or Pano, providing highlights of Porsche models,including race and classic cars (how about providing porsche boxing radiator for thier Porsche Parts?. The Porsche Club of America celebrates the finer things in life. They desire the comfort of good friends and good conversation, and we praise to a fault the world's finest automobile.

BratKid

Yes and in addition for that this shouldnt be here in this category but speaking of cars and autos why not try this one - ford wheels.
