Invite Only · 2 Founders Per School

The Paddock Society is an invite-only motorsport syndicate for those who want to race wheel-to-wheel with the next generation of collegiate drivers, fund the cars those students race, and live a year of bespoke paddock experiences.

When money isn't the constraint, having experiences nobody else can buy their way into is the ego trip.

Founders sponsor a real CRS car in their school's livery and watch students race it nationally. They bring their own car to grid alongside those students — in college colors and their company's branding, on TV. They open private circuits and curated international weekends retail capital cannot follow. They join a curated circle of founders, operators, and family offices for whom the paddock is the boardroom.

With the College Racing Series sanctioned by IMSA and 60+ universities on grid, the platform exists. The Paddock Society is its founder-tier membership layer — in formation for 2026, with the Cup activating once the cohort assembles and partnerships formalize.

Why Now

  • The College Racing Series launched April 2026, IMSA-sanctioned, NABME-backed, on the Spec MX-5 ND chassis
  • 60+ universities on grid — the scale is real and growing
  • The TPS Cup is being designed to run multi-class with CRS at IMSA weekends — 9 races / 3 weekends in the 2026 season
  • For the first time, alumni race in their school's colors AND their company's branding on national television
  • Founding seats capped at 2 per university and never reopen at the founding rate
  • Standard membership opens 2027 at $145,000 annually

The Four
Ego Pillars

Why Members Join

Membership stands on four pillars. Each addresses a different reason high-net-worth alumni and operators put real capital and real time into something. Together they make a position no other club offers.

01 Legacy Your school. Your name. On grid.

Sponsor a CRS car driven by students at your alma mater. Your livery, your school colors, your name on the car. Real college teams, racing nationally, on televised IMSA weekends. The grid becomes the legacy.

02 Social Your car. Your branding. Their colors.

Bring your own HPDE-style car to race wheel-to-wheel with the same students you fund. School livery + your company's branding, on TV, at IMSA weekends. The dual-branding moment no other club offers.

03 Access Globally. Privately. Curated.

VIP track experiences across the calendar — Magarigawa in Japan, Le Mans, Spa, Silverstone, IMSA paddocks. Manufacturer experiences, founder retreat, small-group legends dinners. Designed for what cannot be bought retail.

04 Network Founders. Operators. Builders.

A curated circle of business leaders, family offices, and operators connected by collegiate motorsport. Private Discord, member directory, founder retreat. Where decisions get made — in the paddock, not the ballroom.

Godliness
With
Contentment

Capital is a tool, not an end. The founding class is the foundation — once the cohort assembles, The Paddock Society partners with universities to fund the cars their student teams race. Generosity is built into the model, not a postscript.

A portion of every cycle is designated for giving — to motorsport development, scholarships at partner schools, and the next generation of drivers and engineers who fuel the sport's future.
