FAQs

Sim racing, short for simulation racing, is a type of virtual racing that mimics the physics and dynamics of real-world motorsports by utilizing realistic vehicles and tracks, often enhanced by sophisticated graphics and physics engines. The goal is to provide an authentic racing experience, whether you’re cruising around a track solo or competing against others online.

Sim racing can significantly enhance your driving skills. It helps you develop a strong understanding of vehicle dynamics, learn optimal racing lines, and improve your reaction times. Many professional drivers (like Max Verstappen) use simulators to practice tracks and refine their techniques. So whether you're a beginner or looking to sharpen your skills, sim racing can be a fantastic tool for you!

We don’t have a minimum age, but we do have a minimum height. In order to reach the pedals racers will need to be at least 4’4″ It is also highly recommendedthat each racer have used or experienced graduated pedals like what you would find in any car/truck/SUV/kart.

Experience will certainly help but ultimately is not required. Our pit crew will help guide you through the session and get you to grips with how to handle a race car.

Not a problem! This isn’t a video game. Although we use some similar technology this is race simulation. The software is actually designed to mimic the way these cars drive and handle in the real world on a real track. 

With the VR headsets we are able to put you right into the driver’s seat of cars that everyday people don’t have access to.

The cost of a racing simulator can vary widely depending on the level of customization, quality of equipment, and features you're looking for. At TracksVR, we offer a range of options to fit different budgets and needs, from entry-level setups to high-end, professional-grade simulators. For a tailored experience, we also specialize in custom-built racing simulators to match your exact specifications.

The short answer is not unless you want to. A lot of people will come in with friends and/or family to race with, but for anyone who comes in solo, we have a great community and it is up to you if you want to drive solo or ask if others want to race with you.

We kindly request that you remove outdoor footwear before entering the simulators. If you have brought racing shoes, you can wear them to race, we recommend those with a rounded heel and a thin sole for optimal performance. (Racing shoes are available for purchase at our venue)

A number of factors will dictate this including group size, how many breaks taken, questions, etc. For a 30 minute Intro Package you can expect for it to take up to 35 minutes, this includes our 2 minute tutorial. Return customers will only need to watch the tutorial again if they bring in new drivers.

Larger groups coming in for an hour can usually expect to be in the venue approximately 1 and half hours.

Every month our pit crew will choose a track and car combination to feature as part of our ‘hotlapping’ competition. A hotlap is when a driver tries to get the fastest lap possible in the feature car on the chosen track.

At TracksVR, we wrap each month of hotlapping with a month end race event where drivers will compete in one final race to claim first overall for the month. Throughout the month drivers will endeavor to set the best lap time they can in order to qualify for our month end race event.

Knowing is half the battle, and so we offer a comprehensive leaderboard with live analytics to help you and all other drivers track placement, the time to beat, and the telemetry to do that.

Check out our leaderboard to find out the monthly track/car and current results.
