// 03

Creates
Conversation

Cheering, trash-talking, high-fives. Real human energy that no brochure or giveaway can match.

FAQ

Questions event planners ask

How much space do you need?

A standard single-sim setup fits in roughly a 10' x 10' footprint. Multi-sim setups scale from there. Send us your venue layout and we'll confirm what fits and what flow works best.

What about power requirements?

Our simulators run on standard 110V wall outlets — no special electrical needs. For multi-sim setups, we'll advise on dedicated circuits if the venue requires them.

Do you travel outside of Tampa?

Yes. We service events throughout Tampa Bay and across the state of Florida. Travel costs are factored into your quote based on distance, duration, and complexity.

Can we brand the simulators?

Absolutely. Custom vehicle liveries in-game, branded loading screens, leaderboard branding, and physical rig wraps are all available. Bring your logo — we'll handle the rest.

How many people can race per hour?

Depending on session length, expect 15–30 racers per hour per simulator. With multiple sims running in parallel, that scales up dramatically. We'll help you plan throughput based on your event.

What's the booking process?

Submit a quote request with your event details. We'll send a tailored proposal within 1 business day. Once approved, a deposit secures your date and we handle the rest from there.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry full commercial liability insurance and can provide certificates of insurance (COI) for venues that require them.

Can you handle last-minute bookings?

When we have availability, yes. Our schedule fills quickly during trade show and holiday seasons, so the earlier you reach out, the better. Reach out anyway — we'll tell you what's possible.

Make your next event
unforgettable.
