ABOUT BMR
Founded by visionary Jay Zelazo and designed by renowned track builder Alan Wilson, Badlands Motorsports Resort is a project over a decade in the making. Dedicated to the pursuit of a world-class motorsports facility and resort destination, the project is now ready for construction.
Success by Design
Award-winning racetrack designer Alan Wilson has designed and completed builds of more than thirty motorsports facilities around the world. He is credited with many safety structures and standards in modern motorsports and has managed some of the world’s most renowned racetracks and events. Alan joined the Badlands Motorsports Resort team early on and presents a unique vision for the project.
Project Location
The Badlands Motorsports Resort development team has purchased nearly a section of land for the development in Kneehill County, approximately 80 minutes northeast of Calgary.
Located in “The Gateway to the Badlands,” the site is in close proximity to a wide variety of Southern Alberta attractions and recreation opportunities like Horseshoe Canyon, the Royal Tyrrell Museum, and the Hoodoo Trail.
A total of four hundred and twenty-five acres north of the river has been prepared for development. Major elements, including the North Track and future residential and commercial buildings, are to be placed on an upper plateau (formerly cultivated lands) overlooking the Rosebud River Valley and the beautiful landscape of the Badlands below.
Motorsports Facility
A 4.8 km Alan Wilson designed North Track road course is the foundation of Badlands Motorsports Resort. Outlining the plateau region of the property, the multi-configuration North Track can accommodate a variety of driver groups and experience levels.
Commercial Tribune
Catering to a large user group, the Tribune commercial center will provide a range of amenities and services to drivers and guests. Located on the upper plateau, the center acts as a point of entry for the resort and offers an overhead view of recreation options in the valley below.
Environment Reserve
Over 400 acres of property lends opportunities for a variety of recreation options. Environmentally sensitive areas of the property will be isolated and preserved in an environmental reserve easement as defined by a Kneehill County development agreement.
Development Stage 1
Initial construction of the Badlands Motorsports Resort project will begin in 2022 with a focus on the multi-configuration North Track and necessary access roadways. Other elements, including a 3.0km Valley Track, commercial complex, and other elements featured in the Badlands Motorsports Resort Area Structure Plan, will be part of future development stages.
