Circuit & Paddock
A technical members’ circuit, event paddock and professional driving infrastructure.
Where the racing line meets the shoreline.
Selamat Datang · Welcome
Seventeen thousand islands taught Indonesia how to welcome the world. We envision a private driving destination within that welcome — where the paddock gives way to white sand, the podium toast continues at a beach club, and ramah tamah, the Indonesian art of treating a guest like family, shapes the experience.

Singapore · Batam · Bintan
Singapore brings international access, capital and collector culture. Batam brings scale and connectivity. Bintan proves the Riau Islands can sustain an established luxury-resort and golf ecosystem. Montagno connects those strengths through one defining destination.

The Destination
Our founding destination is planned for Batam Island — a short crossing from Singapore, yet a world away. The vision brings together a coastal technical circuit, collector-car services, country-club hospitality, family karting and trackside residences within an Indonesian archipelago of beaches, reefs and legendary hospitality.
Location
Batam, Indonesia
Getting There
Approximately 30–45 minutes by scheduled ferry from Singapore
The Development Vision
The location and final masterplan will be announced when the appropriate development framework is in place. The program is already clear: performance, hospitality, family experience and ownership designed together from the beginning.
01
A technical members’ circuit, event paddock and professional driving infrastructure.
02
Dining, hospitality, wellness and private gathering spaces overlooking the action.
03
Townhomes, condominiums and villas designed around collector garages and club access.
04
A welcoming first step into motorsport for children, families and new drivers.
05
Marina, resort and hospitality links extending the experience across the Riau Islands.
Why Batam
Singapore is one of Asia’s most connected centers of wealth and collector-car culture, yet offers no permanent members’ circuit. Batam creates the possibility of a private driving destination within a short ferry crossing.

“A short crossing from restraint to release.”
Beyond the Track
The circuit is the crown jewel — but the vision is a complete multi-day destination where racing, the sea, family and Indonesian hospitality share one island experience. Race by day, then the archipelago takes over.
A short crossing from Singapore. A world away.
Cross from Singapore in under an hour, then discover the Barelang Bridge — Batam’s own Golden Gate — and the island landscapes beyond.
The crown jewel — circuit, karting, dirt.
An FIA-grade technical layout for members and international events, karting for every future racer, and a paddock village where the garage is part of the villa.
From pit lane to open water.
A marina in the Nongsa tradition for yachts and boat racing, island-hopping through 300 islands of the Riau archipelago, and reef diving off Abang Island.
Your car lives where you do.
Villas in the jungle canopy with the sea beyond — conceived with collector garages so the machines become part of the home and the wider club experience.
Spa, golf, beach — the family never leaves.
The other half of a race weekend: Indonesian spa rituals in the jungle canopy, infinity pools over the strait, championship golf next door, long lunches of archipelago cuisine over the water and a beach the kids never want to leave.
The engines stop. The night doesn’t.
Podium celebrations become beach-club nights — international DJs, pool parties and the paddock lit like a festival.
Destination Partners
Two hours from the paddock, the Riau Islands do something Batam’s coastline does better than anywhere: nothing at all. Telunas has spent twenty years perfecting it — Malay-inspired overwater architecture, family-style tables, and a village-first way of operating that made them the archipelago’s most quietly admired hosts. Members arrive through the same Sekupang harbour that brings them to the circuit.
A haven for families and groups for over a decade. Malay-inspired overwater architecture across four room types, family-style dining in a communal overwater hall, a jungle pottery studio, and daily scheduled activities included in every stay — shrimping, deck jumping, sea kayaking, village tours and waterfall hikes.

Fifteen 90 m² overwater villas with children’s lofts and furnishings built from upcycled wooden boats, plus five adults-only Ridge Villas with private plunge pools above the sea. An infinity pool and bar, an overwater massage pavilion, and limited-choice blackboard menus from the executive chef.

Founded in 2004 by Mike Schubert and Eric Baldwin, Telunas grew from one dock and six rooms into two resorts funded entirely by retained earnings — never investor capital. More than 100 local staff, an average tenure of 8.5 years, and a foundation that reinvests in the surrounding villages. It is the standard Montagno intends to hold itself to on this coast.
