Inside the new F1-themed attraction opening in the UK – where you can race your mates
F1 fans can live out their dreams of racing in a brand new attraction opening in the UK.
Visitors will also be able to enjoy cocktails and food while getting behind the wheel of a Formula 1 simulator when it opens its doors in November.
The UK’s first F1 Arcade was launched in London last November.
Now, another is set to start welcoming racers in Birmingham, offering the experience to other F1 fans across the country.
Regardless of whether you’re a rookie or an experienced racer, you can choose your skill level, making races even between all competitors.
The F1 Arcade website claims: “There’s a driver setting to suit all skills, meaning the absolute beginner can go wheel to wheel with the seasoned pro.”
F1 say the new experience is designed “to make everyone feel like a champion” and that the F1 Arcade brings “all the excitement, the glamour and the thrills of Formula 1 to Birmingham”.
However, the game is the main attraction and it has been designed to “reward drivers of all abilities”.
The website continued: “We’ve got four different race modes to suit all occasions and a unique points system that rewards all drivers not just the best.
“Whatever you need, whatever you want, there’s racing for you.”
In total, there will be 53 of the bespoke full-motion racing simulators, which have been uniquely designed by a leading simulator design company in conjunction with F1.
They will feature both motion and audio-visual effects helping guests to become fully immersed in their races.
Alongside the full motion racing simulators, there will be food and cocktail menus.
Dishes like wagyu beef burgers, Spanish seabass ceviche and wild miso mushroom tacos will feature alongside an “extensive range of stylish drinks inspired by F1”.
As well as racing on the simulators, guests can turn up on Grand Prix weekends for watch parties, which will be hosted at the arcade.
DJs will also perform on weekends to add further atmosphere to the facility.
Adam Breeden, CEO and Founder of F1 Arcade said: “Birmingham was the obvious choice for our second venue opening in partnership with Formula 1 and we are thrilled to bring one of the world’s most sought-after hospitality experiences to the city.
“Birmingham’s legendary automotive heritage and, of course, the fact it was once host to the thrilling Super Prix, makes this city the perfect home for F1 Arcade.
“We can’t wait to become a part of the city’s vibrant leisure scene.”
The new arcade will open in Birmingham on Tuesday, November 21 at Paradise, Birmingham.
Bookings are already open via the F1 Arcade website, which can be found here.
Meanwhile, this world-first F1 driving attraction is also set to open in the UK this year.
And a new £250m waterpark is going to be built in the UK.
