Planning Your Event
Racing simulators draw families to school fundraisers. Learn how to set up a simulator booth, charge per session, and maximize donations for your school. Good planning is the difference between a memorable event and a stressful one. Here's everything you need to know to get it right.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Define Your Goals
Start with what you want to achieve. Are you building team camaraderie at a corporate event? Creating a memorable private party? Generating leads at a trade show booth? Each goal shapes the setup differently — from the number of rigs to the competition format to the branding options.
2. Choose Your Venue
A racing simulator needs approximately 10×10 feet of floor space per rig, a standard electrical outlet (15-20 amp), and reasonable ceiling height. We deliver to event venues, hotels, offices, private homes, outdoor spaces, and even yachts. Our team visits the venue beforehand to confirm placement, power, and logistics.
3. Plan Guest Flow
With one rig, expect to run 10-15 guests per hour (5-8 minute sessions). For events over 50 guests, we recommend at least two rigs. Our live leaderboard keeps spectators engaged while they wait, and a professional race engineer manages the queue so nobody waits too long.
