Area 27 Motorsports Park is a private motorsports club and racing circuit located near Oliver, in the South Okanagan region of British Columbia, Canada. Designed by 1997 Formula One World Champion Jacques Villeneuve, it is the first premier private membership track in Western Canada. The facility is named in honor of the legendary racing number of Gilles Villeneuve.
The concept for Area 27 was originated in 2012 by Bill Drossos, a former professional racer who envisioned a "motorsports country club" taking advantage of the Okanagan's unique climate. The project was founded in 2013 by Drossos, Jacques Villeneuve, and David King, who formed the South Okanagan Motorsports Corporation (SOMC).
The facility is situated on land leased from the Osoyoos Indian Band (OIB) under a 99-year agreement. Groundbreaking occurred in early 2016, and paving of the 4.83 km (3.0 mi) circuit began in August of that year. Founding members and financial backers include Robbie Dickson, Les Cool, Daryl Carter, Gord Lindsay, Robert Sinneave, Paul Neider, Trevor Seibert and Brett Knelson. Following its inaugural season, the club announced that all 300 family memberships had been sold out.
The 4.83 km (3.0 mi) circuit was designed by Villeneuve to incorporate classic Grand Prix elements while following the natural topography of the land.
In 2018, the circuit was featured in the Amazon Prime series The Grand Tour (Season 2, Episode 10). Hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May tested high-performance vehicles on the track.
