Haven't heard of any new tracks .

If you're referring to the track at the Porsche experience center near L A X , not completed as of yet .

Likely, as mentioned above, the new Porsche center, by LAX, but I hope I'm wrong and someone surprises us with a brand new track nearby. Thermal, about 2 1/2 hrs is the newest track nearby.

The Porsche Experience Center is a fair bit south of LAX in Carson.
Can't think of where by LAX they could even build a track. It pretty much built up

Nice list Spyerx

The Porsche Driving Experience Center in Carson CA is due to open in 2016. It is adjacent to the 405 fwy southbound lanes & a mile or 2 south of the 110 fwy. It was intended to be open this fall, but delayed to "2016", I assume Porsche is waiting to see if there will be a pro football stadium built nearby.
Porsche Motorsport will move to the same site also.

The experience center will be very accessible as long as you pay the entry fees.
Go to the website for more info.

I had an option to buy into Thermal, but that's too rich for my blood. Would have been awesome to have a garage at that track, though.

Head over to Wikipedia and research the difference between "Socialist" and "Communist."

Please do not impugn the People's Democratic Republic of California in the future, imperialist dog.
