The Thermal Club is a country club and motorsports circuit in Thermal, California. The venue was opened in 2012. It hosted a non-championship IndyCar event in 2024, the $1 Million Challenge, and a points-paying event in 2025, the Thermal Club IndyCar Grand Prix.
Thermal has three separate road courses that can be combined in up to 20 configurations, up to the GT circuit. Members must purchase an on-site villa which each have large private garages. Members also have access to a full-service tuning shop and other non-automotive amenities.
In 2017, BMW completed construction of their BMW Performance Driving Center West, which is home to the BMW Performance Driving School.
