NEW YORK, NY AND IXTAPAN DE LA SAL, MEXICO / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2025 / Skip Barber Racing School (SBRS), widely regarded as the "gateway to motorsports," has entered into a landmark agreement with the San Roman family and their investment group to develop and operate a full-service racing circuit and karting center in the renowned resort town of Ixtapan de la Sal, Mexico.
This visionary initiative marks the debut of SBRS's first-ever Racing Resort-a destination blending high-performance racing instruction, luxury accommodations, and immersive motorsport experiences. The development will be nestled within Gran Reserva, a storied estate known for its world-famous hot springs, championship golf course, and award-winning spa that has hosted global icons from Ava Gardner to Johnny Weissmuller.
"We are thrilled to partner with the San Roman family in what we believe is Latin America's epicenter for motorsports," said Michael Berg, CFO of SBRS. "This site will allow us to serve drivers and sponsors from across Mexico, Latin America, and the globe. Its close proximity to Toluca (30 minutes) and Mexico City International Airport (1.5 hours) makes it a uniquely accessible destination."
Chairman Ricardo San Roman added, "Our resort has long been a retreat for global celebrities. With Skip Barber Racing School as our partner, we now create an entirely new destination category-a luxury motorsports hub. There is simply nothing like it."
This expansion represents both a brand milestone and a cultural inflection point, meeting a surging regional appetite for elite motorsports experiences. The Ixtapan Racing Resort will serve as a hub where premium automotive brands, professional drivers, and motorsports enthusiasts converge.
