the story:
"New money and old things...
The recent explosion of crypto investment, especially among the young Chinese expresses itself in many ways... and this private island course is no exception! The backstory? We dont know much but what we can figure out is that this small island, located somewhere in the South China Sea, was once under the control of the PRC during the 50s and 60s as a military outpost. It is rumored that at some point it found its way into private hands of a high ranking official and 'removed from the books' so to say. Fast forward to today and it seems that... this island was bought for an undisclosed sum by a semi-mysterious group known only as the "Racekings".
Thought to be a consortium of 'new' millionaires and billionaires, they are exotic automobile enthusiasts and bought this hidden gem to enjoy their expensive toys outside the watchful eyes of the Chinese government. Contrasting with ancient ruins the group has begun to outfit the island with modern recreations of classic Chinese architecture to create a unique aura and experience for the group to enjoy. Though only a vanity project, it is possible the future may see the island opened up to invitation only events and private gatherings.
Utilizing the old 13.8km military loop road the group has developed this into a very fast, flowing course to challenge not only modern machinery but also the classics obtainable only to the very few." - m.wood 2022
