When you put on our VR Headsets over your head you will see the racing world through 360 degree vision. Your view of the world will be in the same perspective as when you drive a real Car! You will move your head left, right, up and down - you can even turn your Head right around to look out of the rear window of the Car. It's difficult to explain

what Virtual Reality Racing is like - it's something you have to experience to understand.

We recommend trying Virtual Reality Racing for 30 minutes for the first time. If you've booked an hour racing session we recommend 30 - 35 minutes in VR and then to spend the remainder of your session racing using our large 4K screens. On completion of your Virtual Reality introduction you will be free to spend longer racing in Virtual Reality on your next visit.
