For the guests who don’t dance
Every wedding has the uncles at the bar, the friends who came to talk and the ones waiting for the buffet. The sims give them somewhere to go and something to win.

Why it works at a wedding
The bit of the night everyone talks about
The dance floor takes care of half your guests. The simulators take care of the other half. Two sims in the corner of the room turn the quiet hour after dinner into the part of the evening people photograph.
Teenagers and grandparents alike
Seats and pedals adjust for drivers from 125cm tall, ages 8 to 88. Your nephew and your nan can set a lap on the same car, and one of them won’t stop talking about it.
A talking point
Full-size single-seaters look the part in a marquee or a function room. Guests can queue beside them, film each other racing and your photographer gets unique shots nobody else has.
Formats
Three ways to run the racing
Bride vs groom grand prix
Two sims race the same circuit from the same start. Both sides of the wedding party pick a driver and the room takes sides, and it’s ten minutes of racing people bring up for years.
Family knockout
Head-to-head heats run through the evening, with the winners going through to a final before the last dance. Our team runs the bracket and reads out the results so nobody has to organise anything.
Fastest-lap leaderboard all evening
One flying lap each, fastest time on the live leaderboard. Guests drift over between courses and speeches, drivers rotate quickly and the top spot changes hands all night.
You don’t have to choose now. Tell us your running order and our team will pick the format that fits around the speeches, the cake and the first dance.

Quick answers
Wedding questions
Can guests race in formal wear and heels?
Yes. Drivers sit down into a fixed racing seat rather than climbing over anything, so suits and dresses are fine. Most guests slip their heels off for the pedals and put them straight back on. Our team helps every driver in and out.
How late can you stay, and is there a surcharge?
Weddings run late and we plan for it. Standard hire covers 8 hours on site, with the two hour setup inside that. A finish after 10pm carries a £300 late finish surcharge, and hours beyond the standard day are charged at 10% extra per hour. Tell us your timings and it’ll all be itemised in your quote up front.
How much space do we need in a marquee or function room?
Each simulator is roughly 1.61m long, 0.6m wide and 1.42m tall, plus room for the driver to get in and a couple of people to stand and watch. Two sims sit comfortably along one wall of most function rooms. Setup takes around 2 hours, so we build before your guests arrive.
Do you need mains power?
One standard 13A socket runs up to two simulators, drawing no more than 1kW each, so there’s nothing special to arrange and no trip risk for your venue. Most function rooms and marquees already have what we need. Send us a rough layout and we’ll plan the setup around the sockets.
