The Florida International Rally & Motorsport Park, or FIRM, is a multi-use motorsports venue tucked away in Keystone Heights, Florida. Situated inland between Gainesville and Jacksonville, the FIRM offers something different from the coastal racing scenes. Expect a focus on diverse driving disciplines beyond just tarmac circuits, with dedicated areas for rallycross, a traditional road course, and even off-road trails. It's a place where you can test your car control on loose surfaces as much as your cornering speed on pavement. The FIRM's multi-surface appeal makes it a bit of an outlier in the Florida racing landscape. Unlike venues geared solely towards road racing, the FIRM caters to a broader range of motorsport enthusiasts. If you're looking to hone your rally skills, get sideways in a controlled environment, or even explore off-road adventures without venturing too far from the main track, this is a spot worth checking out. It's especially well-suited for drivers who appreciate a challenge and want to expand their motorsport horizons beyond the typical track day experience.

Know Before You Go
- Mixed-use schedule
- Multi-use facilities run different events on different weekends — road course one weekend, autocross or drag the next. Always check the calendar before you drive.
- Membership tiers
- Many multi-use complexes are private clubs with tiered membership (full / track / social). Day-passes for non-members are possible but often capped per year.
- Programs offered
- Look for HPDE days, time attack, drag test-and-tune, drift, kart races, autocross, and car-club rentals. The same lot of pavement hosts very different programs.
- Family-friendly
- Most multi-use parks welcome spectators with paddock access on dry days. Some host car shows, food trucks, and kart rentals between bigger race weekends.
