Your First Step Into Sim Racing

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to sit in the cockpit of a professional racing car? At Racing Unleashed, you don’t need years of training or a millionaire’s budget—your first step into the world of sim racing starts right here, in our lounges. Whether you’ve never touched a simulator before or you’re a motorsport fan curious to give it a go, this guide will walk you through what to expect, where to start, and how you can progress.

‍

What to Expect as a First-Timer

‍

The first time you climb into one of our high-end simulators, the excitement is real. Getting in and out is part of the experience—it gives you the ultimate real racing feel, and just like in a real cockpit, it’s not as easy as stepping into a chair. Before you get in (and again when you get out), our staff will remove the steering wheel to make access possible.

‍

Once you’re seated, the steering wheel vibrates with every curb you touch, the pedals fight back under your feet, and the racing seat places you right in the middle of the action. And you won’t be left alone—our staff will be with you via radio every step of the way, guiding you through your first laps and your first race experience.

‍

We recommend starting with a 15–30 minute session. This is the sweet spot: enough time to get familiar with the simulator and experience the thrill, without overwhelming yourself with too much information at once.

‍

Entry price point:

15 minutes start at CHF 35 (Switzerland) / EUR 25 (Spain) / EUR 30 (Germany).

The First Challenges

‍

Like every new sport, sim racing has its learning curve. A few things you’ll discover right away:

• Braking feels different—timing and pressure are key.
• Precision matters—a slight mistake can cost you time.
• Concentration is everything—sim racing is both physical and mental.

It might feel demanding at first, but that’s exactly what makes it so rewarding. And remember: every professional sim racer started as a beginner.
