Getting It Right

Product launches need memorable experiences. A racing simulator creates the wow factor, generates social media content, and keeps guests engaged for hours. Planning well means your guests have an incredible time and your event runs smoothly from start to finish.

The Essentials

Every successful simulator event comes down to three things: the right venue, the right format, and the right team running it. SimsForHire handles the third part entirely — from delivery to setup to operation to teardown. Your job is choosing the venue and deciding how you want the competition to run.

Venue Considerations

We deliver to 120+ event venues and 150+ hotels across South Florida. Key requirements:

Competition Formats

Choose the format that matches your event type:

  1. Open sessions: Guests jump in whenever they want — casual, low-pressure, good for mingling events
  2. Time trial: Everyone gets the same car and track — the leaderboard crowns the winner. Best for competitive groups.
  3. Team relay: Teams of 3-4 take turns, combined times determine the winner. Perfect for corporate team-building.
  4. Bracket tournament: Head-to-head elimination rounds. Creates drama and a clear champion. Great for smaller groups.

What's Included

Every SimsForHire rental includes delivery, setup, a professional race engineer, the live leaderboard system, and teardown. We offer custom branding for corporate clients. For events at our sister company's location, visit Shift Arcade in Miami.

If you host events regularly, consider buying a simulator outright. Non-motion rigs start at $8,000. Full-motion installed from $17,500, delivered within 150 miles of Miami. Call (754) 228-5654 or inquire online.
