Automotive product presentation with invited guests and performance vehicles at Area 27

Automotive OEM and dealer event venue

Built For Automotive Brands And Dealer Teams

Create a focused environment for vehicle education, ride-and-drive programs, technical demonstrations, dealer engagement and media experiences on a purpose-built motorsports property.

A purpose-built automotive environment

Let Dealers And Media Understand The Vehicle

Vehicle education is more effective when the road, the presentation and the hospitality program work together. Area 27 allows OEMs, dealer groups and agencies to build focused events that may include technical briefings, product walkarounds, controlled drives, instructor demonstrations and professional hosting.

The Jacques Villeneuve-designed circuit combines significant elevation change with technical corners and high-speed sections. Separate paddock and clubhouse zones support vehicle preparation, wave management, meetings and food service. Off-road terrain adds another controlled environment for trucks, SUVs and capability demonstrations.

Support For A Disciplined Drive Event

Our team specializes in automotive activations and can coordinate circuit operations, fleet staging, briefing spaces, approved branding locations, vehicle storage and detailing requirements. Most OEMs bring their own production team, while Area 27 supports the venue, operating plan and fleet logistics needed for an organized event.

  • Dealer training and new-model familiarization
  • Media ride-and-drive and technical presentations
  • Customer demonstration and VIP programs
  • Closed-course testing and comparative evaluation
  • On-road and off-road capability experiences

For operational safety, the rental agreement sets a maximum session group of 20 cars or 30 motorcycles on circuit at one time, excluding pace cars or control riders. The final run plan is reviewed with Area 27 before the event.

Programs built around the vehicle

Choose The Right Operational Format

OEM and dealer programs can be structured as a turnkey drive, a facility rental for a brand-led activation, or a multi-surface schedule that combines technical terrain with hospitality and presentation space.

Arrive & Drive

Brand-Led Arrive & Drive

Use an instructed Arrive & Drive structure for dealer familiarization, guest drives or product education. Academy 27 and the Motorsports Mixer provide useful program models that can be adapted when the vehicles, objectives and brand requirements are compatible.

Rent The Footprint You Need

Combine the circuit, paddock, classroom and clubhouse around fleet staging, technical briefings, presentation, detailing, storage and guest flow. The rental scope can be shaped around the brand team and its suppliers.

Off-road and multi-activity

Add Off-Road Evaluation

Birds of Prey terrain can add a technical off-road component for suitable vehicles. Kartplex or Rally Kart can also give guests and support teams an optional activity alongside the main launch or dealer program.

Mix and match

A brand program can combine classroom education, paddock staging, circuit sessions and approved off-road work, with Kartplex or Rally Kart used as a separate guest rotation when appropriate.
