Oro is 4.1km and oddly enough Barrie is actually a real city. Calabogie still suffers from the complete lack of anything around it

Let's hope this actually happens and it's not another of those projects that dies early.
They actually had a layout started if I remember the last photos I've seen.
And the facebook page has regular updates, so it's not a ghost project or atleast not yet. (https://www.facebook.com/orostation)
We'll see.

Bunch of nothing updates just “sponsors” Apparently they want to be racing next summer. I’m sure something will come of it but perhaps not the big scheme. There is literally nothing there. No utilities. Etc. Just piles of dirt and large weeds

Unlikely it seems.
It's super expensive and a huge investment for MAYBE 5 weekends of proper championships that generate revenue every year, that's if the americans want to come race there. If it's just for fun and you're a billionnaire then go for it, to make money, absolutely not.
There's a certain Ozarks raceway that opened last year in the USA, turns out they designed the track and can't get a FIA approval because of safety concerns. Forget about any type of reasonable-level type of racing happenning there anytime soon. Spec miatas and track days it is then...

Oh yeah Ozarks looks really pretty. In the hills and all.
Do you know why they can't get FIA safety approuval?
the Snells don't want loud racecars disturbing their family grave

Only bonus is Oro Track is across the street from a busy GA airport and surrounded by nothing.

Something about track width, distance of barriers from track, height of pit wall.
Not sure they actually thought this one out properly lol.

Dangereux en criss le pit exit.
Un virage high speed avec un pit wall (mur simple) à l'extérieur, c'est plus que dangereux lol.
Pit lane en pente, pas pratique pour les pit stop avec driver change et les championnats qui permettent pas de laisser ton auto en gear, si ton char prend en feu avec une trainée de fuel ça s'en va dans les autres pit box.
Un vrai désastre lol.
