Watch: We went virtual racing at Birmingham's F1 arcade and felt like Lewis Hamilton

Here at Birmingham World, we’re all for trying something new, especially when it comes to experiences.

With race season in full swing, a lot of eyes have turned toward Birmingham’s F1 Arcade in Chamberlain Square.

The unique venue allows you to race like Lewis Hamilton - without the danger and sickening G-Force!

Using advanced F1 racing simulators, participants can experience driving on some of the world's most famous tracks, with different race modes including team racing and head-to-head competitions.

So obviously, I HAD to go and try it for myself.
