Flying Lizard Motorsports—the sports car race team originally based in Sonoma, California—has announced plans to move its operations to a new 15,000-square-foot building at Apex Motor Club in Phoenix, Arizona.

Currently under Phase One of a two-phase program, Apex Motor Club is already a destination for privateer teams and public track day programs. The 2.27-mile circuit with a 3,400-foot straightaway will eventually become a 4.20-mile, 22-turn, multiple-configuration circuit, sitting on Apex’s 280-acre property.

“Sonoma has been an amazing home for us, but as our team continues to grow, our organization needs a central headquarters with room to grow, and the Apex facility perfectly fits the bill,” said Program Manager Darren Law. “Apex is really an ideal location for us because both myself and one of my business partners, Tommy Sadler, live locally. The racing community in the area is larger than one would expect, and it is rare that a race facility is in a location such as this.”

Flying Lizard Motorsports was founded by Seth Neiman in late 2003. Under Neiman’s ownership, the team earned three team and three driver championship titles before he sold the team to longtime team members Darren Law, Thomas Blam, and Tommy Sadler. Flying Lizard currently races in the Fanatec GT World Challenge America powered by AWS, GT America powered by AWS, Pirelli GT4 America, Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America, and Porsche Sprint Challenge.

Construction on the Flying Lizard Motorsports shop is set to be completed following the 2023 race season.
