Racing Simulator Hire Northampton

Local supplier

Northampton is home turf

Virtually Entertained is a Northamptonshire company. We are based at the Silverstone Innovation Centre on Silverstone Park, NN12 8GX, which is roughly 20 miles from Northampton and around 30 minutes up the A43. Our whole fleet of 18 simulators, 16 F1 and 2 GT, lives at that one address. When your event is in Northampton, the kit is coming from inside your own county rather than up a motorway from a depot in another one.

In practice that changes three things. Delivery costs you nothing extra, because every price already includes delivery within 100 miles of Silverstone and Northampton sits at about a fifth of that. Timings flex, because a 30 minute run home means we can load in first thing or break down late without an overnight, so we work to your venue’s schedule instead of our driving hours. And site visits are simple. If you want us to walk the room before you commit, we can be there and back inside a morning.

Northamptonshire is also about the best county in the country to bring a racing simulator into. Formula 1 teams sit at Brackley and at Silverstone, and the roads between them are lined with race teams, engine builders and precision engineering firms. Motorsport is a local industry here, not a novelty. That shows up on the day. Guests know the circuits, plenty of them drive past the Silverstone gates on the commute, and the arguments about lap times start before the first driver is strapped in. Mercedes AMG Petronas F1, a team headquartered in this county, is one of our clients.

We cover the town and everything around it. County hotels and conference centres take a full grid in a ballroom or a suite, and venues such as Whittlebury Hall near Towcester or Sedgebrook Hall at Chapel Brampton are the sort of rooms sims were made for. Business park offices work well too, and Brackmills, Moulton Park, Grange Park and Swan Valley host plenty of firms with an atrium, a warehouse bay or a covered yard that fits six sims comfortably. Sports club hospitality suites are a strong option in Northampton, with Franklin’s Gardens and Sixfields both running event space. Country house and rural wedding venues around the county, Delapré Abbey and Holdenby House among them, take sims neatly in a marquee or a converted barn.

The practical detail is the same wherever you put us. Setup takes around two hours. Each simulator needs one standard 13A socket and about 1.61m by 0.6m of floor. Every booking arrives fully staffed, because we do not drop the kit and leave. Send us your date and venue and you will have an itemised quote within 24 hours, Monday to Friday. If your event is at the circuit rather than in town, start at simulator hire Silverstone instead.
