Autoport Partners with Primal Motorsports to Deliver Radical-Driven Motorsport Experiences at Uwharrie Motorsports Park & Resort
Elite Founding Members to Receive a Free Radical SR1 XXR
MOORE COUNTY, N.C., July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Autoport, a visionary leader in motorsports real estate and infrastructure development, has agreed to partner with Primal Motorsports, the premier Radical Motorsport racecar dealer and racing school, to deliver Radical-driven motorsport experiences to members and guests at Uwharrie Motorsports Park & Resort.
UMPR is a premier motorsports destination spanning 400 acres in the heart of North Carolina featuring a FIA grade 2 sanctioned, 3.2-mile circuit with multiple configurations, private AutoPort car condos, resort-style amenities, and public attractions. The community is located within 75 miles of more than 60% of the state's population including the metro areas of Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro and Pinehurst.
Primal Motorsports will operate a full-time Radical dealership at UMPR with a showroom up to 20,000 square feet featuring the latest Radical models, full service and parts center, and storage for customer racecars. Primal's facility will be strategically located near the clubhouse with direct paddock access enabling UMPR members and guests to benefit from 1, 2 and 3 day racing schools, daily racecar rentals and a member-only racing series.
"Our partnership with Primal and Radical brings a new level of excitement to the Uwharrie project," stated James Forte, Managing Partner and Chief Operating Officer at Autoport and Uwharrie Motorsports Park & Resort. "This area of North Carolina is known for its rolling hills and expansive views, making it the ideal location for the road course we've configured. Imagine flat-shifting the six-speed sequential gearbox at 9,000 rpm over 90 feet of elevation change through 20 turns surrounded by pine forest. 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and nearly 2Gs in the corners and under heaving braking. That's the experience of Primal and Radical at Uwharrie Motorsports Park!" he continued.
As part of their partnership with Primal, Autoport is offering a free Radical SR1 XXR to the first 10 fully paid Elite Founding Members. Elite membership to UMPR is priced at $1M and includes an equity stake in the project, zero membership initiation fees or monthly dues, priority site selection for car condos and an advisory board seat. UMPR also offers Gold, Family and Corporate memberships starting at $95K.
"We truly value the team's vision and enthusiasm for Uwharrie Motorsports Park as well as the community that's gathered momentum behind the project. We look forward to combining efforts with the Autoport team to deliver exceptional sales, service, and driver education programs alongside the excitement of Radical race cars to their members and guests across all skill levels," said Ryan Nicol, CEO of Primal Motorsports.
Radical Motorsport is the largest racecar manufacturer in the UK and the second largest globally, represented by 35-strong dealer network spanning 24 countries.
According to Tom Drewer, Americas Director of Radical Motorsport, "As the birthplace of motorsports in the US, North Carolina is the perfect location for Radical's further expansion in the States. The Uwharrie project offers the ideal setting to explore our platform given their location in the Sandhills and their free Radical give-away all but guarantees an exciting member-only racing series from day 1 of grand opening."
