About Area 27
A motorsports destination shaped by the South Okanagan
Area 27 is a private motorsports club and destination in Oliver, British Columbia, built around a 4.83 km road circuit designed by 1997 Formula 1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve. The wider property brings together the circuit, clubhouse, paddock, public driving experiences, off-road terrain and event spaces.
Discover how Area 27 began, why this South Okanagan site was chosen and how the original vision became one of Canada's most distinctive motorsports destinations.
Main Circuit
A Jacques Villeneuve-designed driver circuit
The Area 27 road course was designed by 1997 Formula 1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve and shaped around the natural South Okanagan terrain. The result is a flowing 4.83 km circuit with meaningful elevation, technical corner sequences and room for drivers to keep learning lap after lap.
The circuit is built for more than raw speed. Long straights give drivers time to process the previous corner, while complex transitions reward precision, patience and vehicle placement.

Full Property

The clubhouse includes a 3,500-square-foot dining room and bar, members' locker rooms, a classroom fitted with 4K monitors and audio equipment, a drivers' pro shop and a 2,500-square-foot outdoor patio. On-site fuel service supports eligible vehicles; EV charging is not currently available on site.

Paddock & Flow
Staging space built for vehicles, crews and movement
The five-acre paddock provides one coordinated area for vehicle unloading, preparation, staging and parking during track days, rentals and approved events.
The five-acre paddock gives organizers room for vehicle staging, brand displays, driver support, guest hosting and route control around the clubhouse and circuit access points.
- Arrival and staging zones for track-day and event traffic
- Flexible space for corporate activations and premium vehicle displays
- Clear movement between clubhouse, paddock, grid and circuit entry points
Leave The Pavement
Controlled off-road terrain beside the main road course
Area 27's off-road programming expands the property beyond pavement. The Birds of Prey Off-Road Circuit is used for ZR2 Academy experiences and is designed around controlled natural and constructed challenges rather than a single flat loop.
The off-road circuit includes varied obstacles and surfaces including concrete block climb, gravel and sand pit, river/valley bed crawl, large rock crossing, bridge crossing, tire climb and tree-wall features.
Rally Kart & Kartplex
Public-access speed, slide and skill-building areas
Rally Kart adds a dirt-based driving experience designed for controlled slides, tight transitions and approachable sideways fun. It gives visitors another public way to experience vehicle control on the property without stepping directly onto the main circuit.
Kartplex brings Arrive + Drive Racing to the Area 27 property with multiple track configurations suited to first-time drivers, families, groups, league racers and experienced kart drivers. The kart circuit is 0.75 mi / 1.21 km with 20 corners.
