Shift Arcade: Premium Sim Racing in San Ramon and Miami

Race your friends in the cars of your dreams

What is sim racing?

It is what driving a race car actually feels like

You sit in a full-size racing cockpit. The wheel loads up against your hands through a corner, goes light the instant the front tires start to let go, and kicks over every curb you clip. You feel what the car is doing before you see it.

Choose a motion seat and the cockpit moves with the car. The rumble of the engine comes up through your back, and the bumps, the curbs and the braking arrive through your seat.

Then race the people in the seats either side of you, or someone across the country. Everyone wears a headset, so you are in the ear of the person two seats over for the whole race. Most of that is trash talk.

It is easy to jump into and it suits everyone, from beginners and kids to enthusiasts and real-world race car drivers.
