What is a VR racing simulator?
A VR racing simulator is a high-tech driving experience that combines virtual reality, motion feedback, and real-world racing controls to create an incredibly immersive environment — all without leaving the seat. Instead of watching a racing game on a screen, you wear a VR headset that places you inside a fully 3D-rendered race car. You can look around the cockpit, check your mirrors, and see the racetrack from a first-person perspective, just like a professional driver. But it’s not just visual — with force-feedback steering wheels, pedals, and a motion platform that moves with your driving, you feel every bump, curve, and acceleration in real time. SimDrive Chicago takes it a step further by placing all this technology inside a real car, creating the ultimate blend of realism and fun. Whether you’re drifting through corners or flooring it down a straightaway, a VR racing simulator tricks your senses into thinking you’re on the track — not in your driveway or at a party. It’s used for everything from professional racing practice to unforgettable event entertainment.
SimDrive is versatile and exciting, making it a perfect entertainment option for a wide range of events: Birthday Parties: Kids and adults both love the thrill of virtual racing — it becomes the main event. Corporate Events: Great for team-building, friendly competitions, and breaking the ice at mixers or company picnics. Trade Shows & Expos: Draw huge crowds and boost your booth’s engagement with interactive VR racing. School Functions: Add a safe, age-appropriate adrenaline rush to field days, carnivals, or fundraisers. Festivals & Community Events: SimDrive stands out in any crowd and keeps attendees coming back. Church Groups, Sports Teams, Youth Nights: Interactive, clean fun that entertains teens and adults alike. Our simulator brings a unique “wow factor” that traditional party rentals like bounce houses or arcade games can’t match.
We serve the entire Chicagoland area, including but not limited to: Downtown Chicago Naperville Schaumburg Evanston Oak Brook Arlington Heights Aurora Elmhurst Bolingbrook And many more! If you’re within 60–75 miles of Chicago, we’ll likely be able to bring the SimDrive experience to you. Just reach out and we’ll confirm availability for your area.
Yes , SimDrive is completely safe and adjustable based on the age and experience of the driver. While the simulator offers a realistic driving experience, there are no high speeds, physical risks, or intense g-forces involved. Our team carefully guides each participant and can tailor the settings for younger children or first-time users. We’ve successfully run events for ages 6 and up, and we ensure every session is fun, safe, and unforgettable. Safety harnesses, instructor guidance, and emergency shutoffs are part of every setup.
The SimDrive racing experience is as close to real-world racing as you can get — without stepping onto an actual racetrack. From the moment you sit in the driver’s seat of our fully-equipped simulator — which is built into a real car — you’ll feel every bump, turn, and acceleration thanks to our full-motion system, force-feedback steering wheel, and immersive VR headset. The motion platform reacts to your driving in real-time, tilting, swaying, and jolting to simulate G-forces and road texture. You’ll feel the rumble of the track, the resistance in the wheel, and even the tension of sharp corners. What truly sets SimDrive apart is how it engages your senses. You’re not just watching a racing game on a screen — you’re inside the car, fully immersed in a virtual environment with 360° visuals and lifelike sound. It's the same cutting-edge technology used by professional drivers for training, now available at your event. Whether you're a seasoned sim racer or it's your first time behind the wheel, SimDrive delivers a thrilling, authentic experience that makes your heart race and your adrenaline pump.
SimDrive Chicago is a mobile, full-motion virtual reality (VR) racing simulator built into an actual car. When you sit in the driver's seat, you're not just watching a screen , you’re fully immersed in a high-speed racing environment.

Every turn, bump, and acceleration is physically felt, delivering an ultra-realistic driving experience. It’s the perfect fusion of video game excitement and real-world simulation, and it comes directly to your event location. Whether it's a corporate event, birthday party, school carnival, or trade show, SimDrive sets up and brings the racetrack to you.
