We pride ourselves on having unparalleled design capability. Driving new standards for commercial and environmental sustainability, innovation and quality within this niche sector.

We understand that no project is the same and that each will have its own measure of success. We can help you to identify those key objectives and tailor our service to meet those needs.

We are committed to bringing bold, unique and innovative ideas, to push the boundaries and to provide "never before seen" sporting, entertainment, leisure and educational experiences.

Our design ethos is to create facilities that are flowing and organic, similar to examples built before modern modelling techniques. We feel that our interpretation of the guidelines and use of topography, cross fall and corner sequencing with varying apex locations has succeeded - and the feedback that we have had from the industry confirms this.

We use advanced computer simulation and design tools during each stage of a circuit design process, to ensure that the resulting circuit is both exciting and safe from a driver perspective, and also technically challenging for the race engineers and the rest of the team.

Our thirst for knowledge is insatiable and it is this thirst that drives our innovation. We have close working and collaborative relationships with the motorsport regulating authorities (FIA, FIM, CIK), race series promoters (Dorna/IRTA/IMG/SRO), manufacturers, circuit operators and industry suppliers. These relationships allow for regular review during the design process, the application of contemporary solutions, enhanced event safety, commercial exploitation and event overlay.

By combining this design philosophy with an aspiration to help every single one of our clients achieve a automotive destination that is capable of providing a return on investment, we are helping to contribute to the sustainability of the industry that we love.

Over leaf is a brief summary of the facilities that we apply our design expertise to.

One of our internationally proven and recognised competencies are the design of permanent race circuits (or road courses) that are seamlessly integrated with wider non-automotive developments.

We work closely with both the FIA, FIM and other regulating authorities within the industry to assure their design approval. Our work in this field is highly regarded.

Good circuit design requires not only effective design of the circuit for drivers or riders, it also requires consideration for spectators, TV cameras, marshals and officials. Our 3D modelling techniques provide optimised viewing and entertainment for all stakeholders.

PERMANENT CIRCUITSApex have secured the reputation as the World leader in kart facility design through the construction of 'the world's best karting circuits'.

Apex have pioneered the design process for karting facilities that follow the same design principles as for an FIA|FIM road course. This includes the use of exciting corner sequences, elevation changes, varying cambers, adequate run off and state-of-the-art infrastructure.

It is widely known that, due to their accessibility to amateurs, karting circuits provide a strong investment case to developers in almost any location worldwide.

Apex are pleased to be contributing to grass roots development of the sport up to World Championship standard through the provision of high quality commercial karting facilities.

The ability to bring motorsport to the people on the streets of a major city or town has massive benefits to both the local and wider economics of the region in which it is based. However these benefits are only seen when successful and comprehensive planning is carried out in advance of the event.

Apex have provided design consultancy services for a number of clients to ensure that our street circuits are exciting and offer a spectacle for visitors.

Our focus includes effort to ensure that the impact of the event on the surrounding area is minimised, managed and, where possible, complimentary. This includes the planning of access routes, public transport integration, road closures, event spaces, spectator grandstands and minimisation of negative impact to surrounding businesses.

Over the years Apex has diversified its knowledge base to incorporate a detailed service for the following disciplines:

• FIM Motocross• FIA World Rallycross and Global Rallycross• FIA|NHRA|ANDRA Drag Racing

This knowledge has been used to good effect on a number of projects worldwide, resulting in the design and construction of safe and compliant facilities that are being used to this day.

STREET CIRCUITS OTHER DISCIPLINESKARTING CIRCUITS

A successful driving experience centre can be an invaluable tool for heightening brand awareness, promoting new vehicles and allowing potential customers to get out onto a purpose built track to drive the latest models in a safe and controlled environment.

Typically, driving experience centres have a number of professional instructors on site who sit in with the customers to ensure they get the most out of their experience, leaving them wanting to take home the car they have spent the day in.

Apex have been involved in the development and expansion of existing brand experience centres as well as the design of new facilities, all of which have proven to boost sales and interest for the client brand.

BRAND EXPERIENCE CENTRESDriver training experiences are a great way to improve driver skill and confidence, to gain new skills and to achieve a more advanced driving ability. Driving schools are commonplace at many of the larger racing circuits around the world and can incorporate a number of activities including; handling circuits, emergency stop areas, dynamic areas and other activities which simulate loss of vehicle control.

Apex use their automotive experience to create driving schools which provide easy stepping stones for clients to become confident and proficient. We also provide designs with more exciting and challenging permutations to push the abilities of the more advanced student. Good site organisation is key to allowing multiple activities to be used simultaneously.

Vehicle test facilities allow automotive manufacturers or vehicle sports performance companies to test their vehicles away from public roads in a secure, controlled and safe testing environment.

Testing facilities often include a range of indoor and outdoor disciplines which aim to emulate the most extreme challenges a vehicle might face once it is in the hands of its intended customer.

Typically, because of the broad range and specificity of the disciplines required to test a vehicle to its limits, these facilities occupy the largest land allocations.

Apex has assisted a number of clients in the development and expansion of successful vehicle test facilities for both on and off road vehicles.

Off road vehicles are the most versatile means of modern transport, capable of passing over the toughest and most unforgiving of terrains, from steep slopes and deep mud to soft sand dunes and snow. The impressive nature of powerful vehicles off road makes these experience centres very popular from both a driver and spectator perspective.

Apex has worked with vehicle manufacturers and event organisers to design purpose built off road courses, comprising of dramatic slopes, challenging cross falls, seemingly impassable obstacles, water pits all of which also offer great spectator opportunities.

CAMS, the FIA member club for Australia, has a vision for a multi-purpose motorsport destination that could be constructed at Avalon near Melbourne, establishing a home for a variety of motorsport and driving activities. Their vision called for a destination to satisfy all motorsport users, both two wheel and four wheel, in all categories of the sport. In 2009 CAMS contracted Apex, through the FIA Institute Facility Improvement Programme, to develop a master plan for the Avalon Motorsport Park as a phased development allowing CAMS to implement in a structured and strategic manner as funding and demand allows.

This phased approach extends also to the initial proposed FIA Grade 2 | FIM Grade B circuit which could, if required, be upgraded to FIA Grade 1 | FIM Grade A to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix and even a round of the MotoGP World Championship or other international or national motorsport activities should this ever be a requirement in the future.

In addition to a proposed circuit, the Avalon Motorsport Park will provide a home for a variety of motorsport activities such as karting, road safety driver training and 4x4 driver training. The facility was planned in close conjunction with CAMS in order to develop a suitable strategy for developing road safety and racing in accordance with Australian state government policies and FIA initiatives.

The feasibility study resulting from this design produced positive results and is currently under consideration by the Victoria state government and CAMS, though no date for construction has yet been set.

The circuit, located on the inside of the arena section of turns 12-17, hosted its first round of the FIA World Rallycross Championship in 2015, followed up by an event in 2016 and will continue to do so in the coming years.

Apex was commissioned in 2005 to undertake the detailed design and FIA design approval/homologation for a new hill circuit for V8 Supercars, A1GP and historic Formula 5000 race cars in New Zealand. The circuit construction commenced in 2007 and held its first international event in February 2010.

The design philosophy was to incorporate the views of the drivers, teams and the FIA into a sequence of corners and straights to provide good racing, spectating and safe use for all abilities.

The circuit, which has been voted as "the best circuit in Australasia” is overlooked by residential apartments, which assisted considerably in the commercial viability of this project and allowed the management team to launch the 2.8 km ‘short’ circuit. The 3.8 km circuit, once completed, will have nine corners, five right hand and four left hand.

Hampton Downs was recently acquired by Tony Quinn and is now being extended to the full 3.8 km circuit as designed by Apex in 2005 with other commercial enhancement in the form of a kart circuit, commercial buildings and a full pit complex; Hampton Downs is maintaining its claim to be the best motorsport venue in Australasia.

KL CITY GRAND PRIXMALAYSIA

CORE FACILITY Temporary | FIA Grade 3TRACK LENGTH 3.3 kmADDITIONAL FACILITIES N/A

In 2014 Apex partnered with world leading temporary street circuit specialists, Gardini to provide GT Global Race with a technical feasibility study and master plan for a temporary street circuit in the heart of Malaysia’s Capital City, Kuala Lumpur. Apex were contracted as lead technical consultant to deliver the circuit for its inaugural event in August 2015.

The circuit, 3.3 km in length and adjacent to the iconic Petronas towers, was granted an FIA Grade 3 licence and played host to a number of International Race Series with a demonstration headline event featuring 5 cars from the V8 Supercars headlining as part of a 5 year deal with the promotor. Other series that visited the circuit for this inaugural event included Lamborghini Super Trofeo, Formula Masters and, unique to the KL City Grand Prix, the KL GT City Cup. The event attracted huge crowds estimated to be in the region of 200,000 per day over the race weekend.

Temporary Circuits built in older city streets can be extremely complex projects with a number of challenges that must be carefully considered including track design, safety, event overlay, traffic and stakeholder management. These considerations were of particular significance in one of Asia’s largest cities.

During the design it was always at the forefront of our minds to develop a circuit that is first about safety, yet one which is exciting to watch and to drive. Moreover, it had to be implemented in such a way as to minimise disruption to the busy 'Golden Triangle' area of Kuala Lumpur and within an extremely short delivery timeframe.

The circuit itself has been universally applauded by drivers and spectators alike. The V8 Supercars media team interviewed the Pepsi Max driver Chas Mostert who said:

”I don’t think there was one part of the circuit that wasn’t interesting. I had a lot of fun.”

Apex are proud to have been a part of this historic and landmark event.

In October 2013 Apex were contracted by Northern Developments (on behalf of M-Sport) to assist in the preparation of information for a planning submission for the development of an automotive evaluation centre at the M-Sport Headquarters, Dovenby Hall, Cumbria.

The Apex designed facility will primarily be used by M-Sport engineers to evaluate vehicles that have been developed on site, however there is a commercial case to use the facility for corporate and manufacturer experience activity. M-Sport currently visit nearby evaluation centres prior to competition and retail.

By bringing this activity on site alongside all the existing manufacturing & engine testing facilities, the organisation will create a unique facility in this part of the UK offering complete R&D – Testing & Evaluation – Manufacturing & production facilities. Whilst also benefitting from reduced testing and logistics costs, the facility will also reduce otherwise unavoidable staff down time due to travel to and from other facilities nationwide and thus improving the organisations carbon footprint.

M-Sport have recently developed a very successful relationship with Bentley that has led to the development of the new Bentley Continental GT3 for competition. So, with the development of multiple vehicles on site, the requirement for a suitable private evaluation centre is more evident. The M-Sport Evaluation Centre design incorporates the following key features:

• 2.53km Handling Circuit• A straight of 750m• A multitude of permutation options• A 70m, low friction, steady state cornering pad - Accessed via the track but could be separated from the

track to allow for independent operation• High and low speed corner sequencing to allow for the testing of various car setup parameters• Over 13m of elevation change along the track centre line challenges drivers and vehicle capability alike

Planning consent was awarded in early 2015 and construction will be completed early 2018.

Sepang International Circuit (SIC) is the home of the Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix and Malaysian MotoGP events and it also plays host to rounds of the Japanese GT Championship and Asian Festival of Speed.

The Vision Plan by Apex sought to identify how SIC could utilise the existing site to develop this purpose-built government-funded Formula 1 facility into a commercially and environmentally sustainable destination for the long term.

This vision was tested with a KPMG feasibility evaluation and adjusted to the final Master Plan to provide a commercially sustainable outcome.

In addition to design services, Apex provided SIC with templates for key operational documentation which allowed the management and operations team to consider more efficient staffing structures, day to day operational procedures and major event planning.

As part of the final Master Plan design, Apex were responsible for design proposals for a new business park, secondary paddock area, F1 team huts, a driving school, retail outlet, education facilities, hotel, country club and plaza and design upgrades to the current kart circuit. Our ongoing relationship resulted in the development of the first of two business parks, now operational, the upgrade of the kart circuit and the establishment of a new driver training facility.

CORE FACILITY Permanent | FIA Grade 2TRACK LENGTH 4.5 kmADDITIONAL FACILITIES N/A

Sydney Motorsport Park, formerly Eastern Creek International Raceway, has remained over the years one of Australia’s premier racing venues with its fast flowing corners, excellent spectator experience and picturesque parkland setting.

The popularity of the circuit was such that the client, The Australian Racing Drivers Club, had the facility booked to full capacity year on year and had the aspiration to increase annual revenue potential and the need to accommodate additional business resulting from the closure of the nearby Oran Park raceway.

Apex were contracted to explore various methods by which the circuit could increase operational capacity.

Two significant track upgrades were proposed and subsequently constructed to allow the independent and concurrent operation of both the north and south circuit permutations.

In addition to these track upgrades, Apex proposed a wider site master plan that includes industrial parks, a museum, tuning shops, entertainment zones, corporate hospitality and a road safety driving school. These additional developments all increase daily footfall to the site and provide a greater value experience for all who visit Sydney Motorsport Park.

The management of the Sydney Motorsport Park are delivering on many of the commercial elements of the master plan and the facility operates at capacity and is commercially successful.
