Sim Racing Parties
In Tampa
Take over the whole lounge for two hours. A host runs the racing, your group drives, and the podium settles who was fastest. No experience needed and nothing to bring.
Party Packages
Both packages are a private buyout of the lounge, so nobody else is in the room. The host handles the racing format so you can enjoy the party.
- Private use of the whole lounge
- A host runs a short race format
- Podium and leaderboard results at the end
- Everything in the Pit Stop Party
- Qualifying and a full race
- Pizza and drinks

Who Books It
Something different from bowling or laser tag. Everyone gets a turn, everyone gets a lap time, and the birthday racer gets a podium.
A competitive start to the night. Run qualifying, settle the grid and let the race decide who gets bragging rights for the night.
Corporate teams use the lounge for outings because it gets everyone involved, including the people who have never driven a race car. See the Team Event for a staffed, structured version.
A private room with 8 simulators and a host makes an easy office or friend-group holiday party. Book a holiday team event by October 31 and 2 custom liveries are on us.
How It Works

Does anyone need racing experience?

The Pit Stop Party is for up to 10 racers and the Grand Prix Party is for up to 16. Racers rotate through all 8 simulators. For a bigger group, ask us and we will suggest a format.

A full lounge buyout gives your group the room and all 8 simulators: $249 for one hour or $449 for two Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, and $300 or $549 on Friday and Saturday. A party package adds a host who runs the racing for you.
