Racing Simulator Hire – Who Has the Fastest Lap?
Looking for racing simulator hire in Nottingham? Our twin Racing Car Simulators put two guests side by side in authentic racing cockpits for head-to-head races, each with its own high-definition screen (no split screen) and a force-feedback steering wheel and pedals that make every corner feel real.
We take pride in offering the best Racing Simulator Hire in Nottingham, Derby and the East Midlands. Whether you call it a racing sim, an F1 simulator, a car racing simulator or driving simulator hire, we deliver and set up everything for you.
Take your seat in a high-performance race car, line up on a famous British circuit and race your colleague in the next cockpit. Each session gives drivers up to 8 minutes to set their fastest clean lap. Some stay for the full 8 minutes to master the circuit, while others hand over the wheel after 2–3 minutes, and everyone watching gets to see who is quickest.
Challenge Your Guests to Set the Fastest Time
Everyone thinks they are the best driver in the room. Now they can prove it.
The Racing Simulator is quick to pick up, easy to understand and naturally competitive, so guests keep coming back to shave a few tenths off their time and claim the bragging rights. Every driver races the same car on the same track, and only clean laps count, so cutting corners won't help. Lap times are directly comparable and every leaderboard is fair.
Who at your event will set the fastest lap of the day?
Perfect for Corporate Events, Christmas Parties & Exhibitions
Our Racing Simulator Hire works brilliantly at corporate events, Christmas parties, team-building days, exhibitions, product launches, university events, private parties and family fun days.
Often booked as F1 simulator hire for corporate events, its head-to-head format makes it ideal for exhibition stands and brand activations where you want an interactive attraction that gets people to stop, play and compete.
Simple, Competitive & Great for Spectators
The Racing Simulator isn't just fun for the drivers. Spectators gather round to cheer on colleagues and friends, and guests can run their own knockout races or leaderboard competitions throughout the event.
Need more drivers at once? Link up to four simulators with our 4-Car Racing Simulator Package.
Delivery & Setup Included
Our trained team will deliver and professionally set up both simulators, test them and leave you with an easy-to-use attraction that's ready for your guests.

Racing Simulator Hire FAQs
What age are the racing simulators suitable for?
Our racing simulators are suitable for drivers aged 8 and over. The seat slides forward so shorter drivers can reach the pedals comfortably.
How long does each race last?
Each session runs for up to 8 minutes, with drivers setting their fastest clean lap of Brands Hatch in a Mercedes. Most drivers race for 2–3 minutes, and the session can be reset at any time with the pit button on the steering wheel.
How many guests can use the racing simulators per hour?
Around 40–60 guests per hour with 2–3 minute turns, or around 15 per hour if every driver stays for the full 8 minutes. For larger events, add extra linked simulators with our 4-Car Racing Simulator Package.
Can we run a leaderboard competition?
Yes. Only clean laps count, so every lap time is fair and comparable. Add a standard, digital or branded leaderboard to show the fastest times throughout your event.
Can the racing simulators be branded?
Yes. We can brand the screen surrounds and leaderboards with your logo or campaign artwork. Artwork requirements and lead times apply. Please note all branded items must be paid for in full upon making a booking.
What power do the racing simulators need?
One standard 13amp socket within 30m. Where mains isn't available, generator hire can be confirmed per booking.
Can the racing simulators be used outdoors?
Only under cover, such as in a marquee or gazebo, on a hard surface or grass. Indoors on a hard surface is ideal.
Do you provide staff to run the simulators?
The simulators need adult supervision. Event staff hire is available, and our staff keep turns moving, reset sessions and manage the leaderboard. Without staff, we show you how everything works on delivery.
