Team Building at Sun Hydraulics / Helios Technologies

Actually fun team building — no trust falls.

Team building at Sun Hydraulics / Helios Technologies doesn't have to involve trust falls or escape rooms. A full-motion racing simulator turns Sun Hydraulics / Helios Technologies into a tournament arena for a half-day or full-day offsite, and the energy it produces is the opposite of the standard HR-led exercises your team has already endured.

Why sim racing works for team building events at Sun Hydraulics / Helios Technologies

Shared experience that gets the introverts and extroverts equally engaged.

How this event plays at Sun Hydraulics / Helios Technologies

The format that works: arrive at Sun Hydraulics / Helios Technologies, split the team into bracketed groups, run qualifying laps, then run elimination rounds through the day with a final showdown between the top seeds. Every guest drives. Every guest has a moment on the leaderboard. And the cross-department rivalry that forms over lap times is the actual team building — people who didn't interact before lunch are coaching each other by dinner. Our operators facilitate the whole format: explain the cars, coach new drivers, run the bracket, MC the finals. Your people leaders at Sun Hydraulics / Helios Technologies just show up and participate.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a team building event at Sun Hydraulics / Helios Technologies run?

Half-day (4 hours) fits a 15–40 person team with a qualifying + single-elimination bracket. Full-day (6–8 hours) suits 50–120 person teams and allows for multiple rounds, lunch integration, and a final showdown with awards.

What if some people on the team have never driven?

Perfect. Our operators coach every new driver through the basics — seated posture, steering, braking — before their first run. Most guests are setting competitive times within two sessions. The leaderboard rewards improvement, not just raw speed.

Can you do a customized bracket or format at Sun Hydraulics / Helios Technologies?

Yes. Common formats: departmental teams, cross-functional teams, "seniority handicap" leagues, and custom themes. We build the bracket with your people ops lead and run it end-to-end.

What does a team building event cost at Sun Hydraulics / Helios Technologies?

Typical half-day packages at Sun Hydraulics / Helios Technologies run $2,500–$4,500. Full-day with 2 rigs, branded overlays, and awards runs $6,000–$10,000. Quarterly-recurring teams get preferred pricing.

Is the simulator intense for less-active team members?

No. The physical demand is equivalent to driving a car — anyone who can drive a street car can participate. The motion platform is adjustable and we can reduce or eliminate motion for any guest who prefers static driving.
