What is ATX Grand Prix Club?
Austin's original motorsport social club
ATX Grand Prix Club™ (ATXGPC) is the original and fastest growing Formula 1 and motorsport social club in Austin, Texas, founded in 2024. We're 700+ members strong and host watch parties, karting nights, sim racing, and meetups all year.
You don't need a sports car to live and breathe racing. You just need a love for things that go fast and a few friends to yell at the TV with. We've got the friends part covered.
Today, ATXGPC is a community run by fans, for fans. Been watching since the V10 days? Just found the sport last season? Either way, you belong here. Come solo or bring your crew and let us bring the space to new friends to you.
Our Events
We believe everyone should get to enjoy racing and the lifestyle around it. Lifelong fans and brand new ones are equally welcome here. Come solo or bring a crew. Either way, you will leave with new friends.
Let us be your pass to motorsports in the 512. You don't need a sports car to live and breathe racing. You need a place to make friends that also love for things that go fast to watch them with. We can help with that.
Watch Parties
Watch Parties are the heart of the club. We host a watch party for nearly every Formula 1 race, plus IndyCar and other series. Come ready to play trivia, bingo cards, and collect illustrated postcards to learn about each track and its culture.
Karting
We host group karting nights at tracks around Austin, even if you've never driven a kart before. All skill levels are welcome.
Sim Racing
We host tournaments, training nights, and socials all year long at our partner venue: One Line Racing Center. If you're new, we'll get you up to speed (all puns intended)
Socials
We host trivia nights, panels, and plenty of other easy social hangs away from race day. New here and want to meet people first? These are a great place to get more one on one time with others.

What is a Motorsport Social Club?
ATX Grand Prix Club™ debuted the Motorsport Social Club concept at SXSW 2026. The short version: we pioneered a club built around the lifestyle and culture of racing, not just race day. Watch parties are where we started, but being your year-round home for motorsport is where we're headed. Since then, a wave of racing communities has taken off in Texas and around the world, and we love to see it.
