Clive Bowen was commissioned as the motor sport consultant to HOK Sport London and appointed in 2002 to design and masterplan the Dubai Autodrome and Business Park, completed in October 2004. This project, a US$100 million investment includes a 5.4km FIA, FIM and FOM homologated Category 1 race circuit, a CIK Category A homologated 1.2 km kart circuit and multiple commercial ventures all integrated into a 270ha site in Dubai, UAE. Clive Bowen’s role in the project required the detailed design and specification of the circuit topography, the coordination of consultation with drivers, riders, governing bodies, engineering consultants, architects and local authorities, the specification of all safety criteria, the definition of the pit and paddock complex, detailed input into the spectator facilities, VIP facilities, commercial facilities and a major contribution towards the project master plan. To date (in 2006), a further US$3 billion has been committed to property development on the master plan footprint surrounding the race circuit, thereby proving the concept of an entertainment economy and motorsport destination.
