If you want to revel in unadulterated self-indulgence, perhaps you should consider a membership at the Ascari Race Resort. It will cost you a one-off payment of around $195,000 and an annual membership fee of $6,500, but that will open the door to a vintage racecar enthusiast\u2019s paradise on earth.<\/p>\n
What do you get for your money? Try the exclusive use of a 27-corner, 3.35-mile circuit for a guaranteed 104 days of the year. Membership is restricted to 500, hence the guarantee.<\/p>\n
The 27 corners include a mini Eau Rouge (\u00e0 la Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium) and a reasonable reproduction of the old N\u00fcrburgring\u2019s famous Karussell. If you want to try your hand in the wet, no problem: a sprinkler system can drum up fake rain over the entire 3.35 miles of track for you. And if want to hold a race day for you and your fellow vintage racecar enthusiast friends, no sweat: the resort has 32 specially trained marshals available to it to make sure everything runs smoothly.<\/p>\n
The resort already has an underground garage in which you can keep your racing car on a permanent basis, a luxurious trackside restaurant, a garden from which to watch cars scamper around the circuit and a swimming pool. And it will soon have its own five-star hotel, now under construction, in which to recover from a hard day at the wheel.<\/p>\n
This dream come true is near a town called Ronda, a 20-minute helicopter ride from Malaga, on the Spanish coast. It is the brainchild of Dutch multimillionaire Klaas Zwart, owner of the Scuderia Ascari racing team and maker of the 520-hp Ascari KZR1.
