A Race Centre (or Racing Centre) is a facility offering public access to one or more racecar simulators. Race Centres have established a usage that lies somewhere between Karting Centres and Race Circuits. They offer excellent Motorsport Entertainment facilities for Corporate Leisure, Stag Parties, Kids Parties and Individual Drivers. Many professional motorsport teams now have their own sim department, but for individuals who don't, race centres also offer a unique opportunity to practice on real world circuits as part of race preparation. With ever better hardware, racing sims, and venue control systems, the future of motorsport as a participant activity is looking good.

Qualification: There are an ever growing number of organisations active in the race simulation space. There are great advances being made with race simulators, simulator components and simulation software. There are also groups making simulators available to hire. We list organisations offering facilities in one or more locations to the public. The facilities simply need to be supported by a website listing their location(s), opening times, activity pricing and contact details.
Race centres make motorsport partipation more accessible to a wider audience, so we want to see more. We regularly review and update our listings, but we know we can do it better with your help. Additions and corrections to the above listings are always most welcome. If you know of facilities that we have not yet listed then we would love to hear from you. Thanks from all at RaceCentres.Com.
