F1-style Simulator Hire
Full-size single-seaters, networked for head-to-head racing on one Top Gear style live leaderboard, and delivered, built and run by our team at your venue.
Trusted by
The rigs
Full-size sims, built for events
Flight-cased for events
The kit travels in flight cases and builds cleanly in ballrooms, marquees and exhibition halls.
Wheels that fight back
Force feedback wheels push and pull like real steering. With pro pedals underneath, the first corner feels real.
Adjusts to the driver
Seats and pedals adjust for drivers from 125cm tall, ages 8 to 88.
Any title, any circuit
Any modern racing title, on any circuit you like, Silverstone included.
Networkable up to 16
Up to 16 F1-style sims race the same circuit on one live leaderboard, the biggest mobile grid in the UK.
How the racing works
Hotlaps or head-to-head
Hotlap leaderboard
Every guest gets a flying lap and the fastest time tops the live leaderboard. Drivers rotate quickly, queues keep moving and the top spot changes hands all day, which suits exhibitions, open sessions and big guest lists.
Head-to-head grid
Up to 16 F1-style sims race wheel to wheel on the same circuit at the same time, and the first across the line wins. It suits team building, finals and settling office arguments.
Our team runs both, and many events mix the two: hotlaps through the day, then a head-to-head final to finish. Run it however you like.

Asked about F1-style sim hire
Which games and circuits can we race?
Any modern F1-style title, on any circuit you like, Silverstone included. Tell us the field you want on track and we’ll set every sim up the same before your guests arrive.
How many guests can race in an hour?
Each simulator gets through roughly 8 to 10 drivers an hour on hotlaps, because the sessions are short fastest-lap runs, while longer race formats take fewer. Tell us your guest count and timings and we’ll recommend the right number of sims in your quote.
Can the simulators run outdoors?
Yes, under cover: marquees and covered outdoor spaces work well. Each sim needs a dry, level surface, and one 13A socket runs two of them. If your venue is open air, tell us about the weather cover and we’ll advise.
