How will the F1 Arcade work?

The F1 Arcade in Birmingham will feature bespoke racing simulators designed especially for the venue, featuring motion and audio-visual effects to immerse guests in the race. The idea takes inspiration from the world of Formula 1.

Each guest will get a minimum of four races in a session. There are custom built race screens and bespoke point scoring systems, which will guide you through your booking, letting you know who is up next, handy tips to get you racing and who is in the lead on points.

The F1 Arcade will join other entertainment businesses around Centenary Way - including Dishoom, Albert’s Schloss, Rosa’s Thai and Yorks at Paradise.
