- What is the structure of a private party?
-
Events can be customized to you, though a typical party consists of:
- Welcome & Introduction: Our friendly staff will greet you and your guests, provide a brief overview of the racing simulators and event itinerary, and introduce the controls and features.
- Warm-up Sessions: All racers have a warm-up session to familiarize themselves with the simulators and the chosen race track.
- Qualifying Race: All racers will compete in a qualifying race to determine their starting positions for the main event.
- Main Race: The excitement peaks with the 15-minute main race, where racers will put their skills to the test and compete for the top spot on the podium.
- Podium Ceremony: Following the main race, the top three finishers will be awarded medals during a podium ceremony.
- Can Children Drive?
- We use full-sized, professional simulators, so we have age guidelines to ensure that all guests have the best experience. Being able to reach the pedals and have some basic driving abilities—such as knowing how to engage reverse, re-center a steering wheel, and use the gas gradually to avoid spinning—are key to enjoying the session. We use age guidelines rather than strict rules, as each child is different. If you think your child would be able to use the simulator and enjoy it, you are welcome to bring them in. We have had kids as young as 3 sit on a parent's lap to drive, and we encourage this as a family activity. Our staff are on hand to help everyone use the simulators. With one staff member looking after our guests, we do not have the time to teach younger guests how to drive. However, we can assist new drivers with; automatic transmission, extra stability control, simpler car & track selection and cushions for added comfort and better reach
