RACING EXPERIENCE
You eat, you drink, you race and earn rewards. Here are our top tips for how to make the most of your experience.
If you have a booking we ask that you turn up 15 min before your reservation so we can explain how it all works and show you to your sim.
You race in a full-motion simulators and choose what skill level so don’t worry if you have never done it. Before, during or after you can choose incredible food items and seriously good drinks. Stick around after your booking, join us in the bar and enjoy the evening while DJs pump up the volume.
Find out about our race modes here
Team Racing (for 4+ people) is the ideal race mode to give you the ultimate F1 Arcade experience. Your group will be randomly allocated into teams where you will then compete against each other to see who comes out on top. Best of all, we’ve designed this to be just as appealing to first-timers as seasoned pros. Our bespoke points system and five skill levels get you out on track and competing on a level playing field. Each team has its own simulator so there’s plenty of time to eat, drink, and cheer on your teammates around the track.
For example, in a 12-person booking, you will be split into 4 teams and allocated 1 racing sim per team, so there will be 4 sims in play.
Find out about our race modes here.
Head-to-Head (for up to 3 people) gives you a shorter and more intense driving experience. When it’s just you and a couple of friends, you can jump into your own sim, 3 races against each other back-to-back, then head to the bar to order yourself a well-earned drink!
The whole session lasts for 30 minutes, which includes induction, three back to back races with quick breaks in between plus the summary of results at the end.
The breaks between each race are quick pit stops, so make sure you fuel up at our bar before or after your session.
A group of more than 3 guests will be split into teams. A team is the people allotted to a racing sim, representing an F1 constructor, e.g. Mercedes, Haas, Alpine, etc - So, if 16 of you showed up, you would be put into 6 teams of four people each, with each sim getting their own sim against the other teams.
Your booking duration will depend on the game mode you’ve booked and the size of your group.
Team Racing is our longer, more social experience and a booking time will range from 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes depending on the size of your group.
Head to Head will last approximately 30 minutes and is a more intense session for smaller groups.
F1 Arcade is designed for all different abilities with 5 levels available. As you set up the game, you’ll select your difficulty level choosing from Rookie, Casual, Semi Pro, Pro or Elite. This ensures everyone can race together, regardless of skill level.
Find out more about our skill levels.
We recommend starting on Rookie or Casual if you haven't raced before but you can choose a different skill level each race so if you want to go up or down a level, you can.
Don’t worry, you’ll only ever race against those in your booking party.
If you’re a large group, we set you up as teams.
You get more racing time when you are a group and it’s more fun.
You get mixed up as a team, so you compete against each other and there’s a team winner.
You get loads of points for different actions, so everyone is contributing.
This is Social Gaming. So as a larger group you’ll be allocated an event space with a number of sims to race, eat, drink, and socialize.
When split into Teams, you will still get to race in a sim against other teams in your group, the same amount of (approx) four-minute races as the Head-to Head racing, it’s just a much longer booking so everyone has time to race - you’ll alternate with your teammates, race as a team and (hopefully) win as a team.
It is possible. But bear in mind, this game has been designed with you in mind!
When we say that F1 Arcade is Racing for All – by ‘All’ we mean those of you who don’t think they want to race and those of you who are not confident in your racing ability. That’s why we built a whole new game – one that’s super fun and can be enjoyed by newcomers just as much as racing and gaming fans... zero embarrassment factor!
We built this to be accessible for all, and four-minute race in a full motion sim is an intense and thrilling experience, more than enough for almost everyone.
If you are seasoned existing sim racer or race gamer, and you really want a longer session, check out our Head-to-Head game mode for smaller groups and you can select 5 races for 6 minute each.
Each race will be a random track so you can experience a number of iconic F1 tracks, from Suzuka to Silverstone, and test your skills!
There are very short breaks, 1-2mins, in between races for Head to Head bookings.
For Team Racing, you will each take it in turns to race so there is plenty of time between races.
It isn't the official F1 game but our in-house tech team have developed a personalised experience leveraging racing simulation platform rFactor2.
Your lap times and stats will be displayed on screen after you finish your race so you can see how you did but at the moment you cannot download or access these after you leave.
At the moment, we only have 2 race modes, Head to Head and Team Racing but we are in the process of developing our next race mode... coming soon.
The Arcade Hub is the centre of our universe, and it is where you can access your Arcadian balance, find the latest news, access exclusive content and enter prize draws to win huge prizes.
All drivers require an Arcade Hub profile to race.
Arcadians are our in-venue credit system/currency and can be earned when you race in-venue.
