What you’re hiring
Virtually Entertained hires racing simulators for corporate events, exhibitions, product launches, weddings and parties across the UK. The fleet is eighteen simulators strong: sixteen full-size F1-style sims and two GT sims, all built to network together and race head-to-head or via a laptime leaderboard.
All events are staffed by our expert team. We deliver, set up in around two hours, welcome your guests, get each driver comfortable in the seat and run the competition from the first lap to the last.
Delivery is included within 100 miles of Silverstone and we cover the rest of the UK with a small additional delivery fee per event.
Alongside the sims we hire Batak reaction boards, and we can brand the whole grid to match your event.
Hotlap is a rolling fastest-lap time trial. Each guest jumps in, sets their fastest lap and hands over the seat. The leaderboard ranks every driver’s best time across the whole event, so the competition builds all day and nobody waits for a full grid.
It works well for exhibitions, trade show stands and drop-in sessions, because it keeps a steady flow of drivers through the sims.
Head-to-head is a live race. Up to sixteen F1-style simulators start together on the same circuit, wheel to wheel, with positions updating on the leaderboard in real time.
It’s the format that gets a room shouting, a favourite for team building, awards nights and grand finals. Many events combine both: hotlap qualifying through the afternoon, then a head-to-head final between the fastest drivers.
Whichever format you choose, the price you’re quoted is fully itemised. You provide a dry space and a standard 13A socket shared between up to two simulators. If you want to run head-to-head racing, you’ll need an internet connection as well. We handle everything else.

GT & rally simulators
Our GT simulators offer the opportunity for GT and rally driving with the same live timing as the rest of the fleet. The seating position is closer to a road car, which suits showrooms, dealer launches and guests who want a familiar wheel in their hands.
GT sims network with the F1-style grid, so a mixed fleet still races on one leaderboard. GT simulator hire is £840 a day for one sim or £940 for two, plus VAT.
Branding & wraps
Every simulator can carry your branding, and so can the racing itself: seat-back decals start at £42 and run right up to a full wrap that turns the sim into your own team car, with your livery on the cars and your boards around the circuit on screen. All the options and prices are on our branded simulator hire page.
The wrap in the photo is one of ours, built for Mercedes AMG Petronas F1.
Send us your artwork and we do the rest.
