Here’s the questions people are asking about F1 Arcade Birmingham

At F1 Arcade you eat, drink, race and earn rewards — it’s a full social racing experience. If you’ve booked a session, arrive 15 minutes early so the team can brief you, help you choose your skill level, and get you settled into your simulator.

You’ll race in full-motion F1-style simulators, designed for complete beginners through to seasoned pros, so no racing experience is needed. Before, during or after your session you can enjoy great food, cocktails, mocktails and bar snacks.

Once your race is finished, stay for the nightlife vibe — the bar, music and DJs keep the energy high long after the chequered flag drops.

Team Racing is F1 Arcade’s most popular race mode for groups of 4 or more, designed to give everyone — beginners and pros alike — an exciting, level-playing-field experience. Your group is randomly split into teams, each with its own simulator, and you’ll compete against the other teams to see who comes out on top.

A bespoke points system and five different skill levels mean everyone can race confidently, whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth. With shared team simulators, there’s plenty of time to race, eat, drink and cheer each other on between sessions.

For example: a group of 12 would be split into 4 teams, each with one dedicated sim, so four simulators run at once. Team Racing sessions last at least one hour, with longer durations for larger groups.
