Frequently Asked Questions

Q   How many drivers can compete in against each other in one race?
A   Indoors: We are currently able to offer a total of 30 simulators for hire. 16 is the maximum number of simulators that we are able to link together for Drivers to compete against each other in the same race. Therefore if hiring 30 simulators the simulators would have to be linked in two banks of 15 simulators or 5 banks of 6 simulators.
Outdoors: Our outdoor event shelters enable us to host 6 linked simulators in each. We are currently able to supply two shelters, therefore the total number of linked simulators hosted in the two shelters combined would be 12.
Our Mobile Exhibition Unit Features 6 Seated Driving positions and a maximum of 6 standing positions, enabling a total of 12 Drivers to compete against each other in a single F1 race when the side door is closed.
In good weather we can open the side door to host an additional 2 seated simulators on the stage area increasing the race capacity to 14 (8 Seated & 6 Standing). Placing 2 Simulators on the stage and 4 units outside of the unit increases the capacity further enabling a 16 player race featuring 12 seated positions and 4 standing positions. Our event shelters can be combined with our mobile exhibition unit to enable us to host a full 16 driver race outdoors.
