California Expansion Watch: Luxury Racetrack Revs Up Riverside County

By Jeff Vaughn

CALIFORNIA EXPANSION WATCH — and this time, we’re heading to Lake Elsinore, where developers want to build a luxury playground for car enthusiasts.

Plans for what’s being called the “Elsinore Ring” would include a 300-acre private motorsports park with a racetrack, helipad and 275 luxury garage condos for owners and fans of exotic and performance cars.

Former NASCAR driver Boris Said hopes the project would become a destination — bringing new construction, investment, visitors and potentially jobs to Riverside County.

The project would turn a large piece of Lake Elsinore property into a destination for motorsports and automotive enthusiasts — bringing new construction, investment, visitors and potentially jobs to Riverside County.

And that’s why it lands on our California Expansion Watch.

We spend plenty of time tracking companies closing, cutting jobs or taking their operations out of California.

But this is the other side of the ledger: developers willing to put serious money into a new California destination.

If it gets built, Lake Elsinore won’t just have a racetrack.

It could have a new economic engine.

The project is currently under environmental review, with a target completion date of 2030.
