The world’s first official Formula 1® simulator racing experience to put socialising at its core is to open its first US location in Boston’s Seaport district early 2024.
The first-of-its-kind hospitality concept has seen more than 8,000 fans and non-fans visiting its flagship London venue each week to enjoy competitive socialising at its finest since it opened late last year.
Boston Seaport will be the first to bring the excitement and thrill of F1® Arcade across the Atlantic as part of an ambitious plan mapped out across the US, targeting more than 20 permanent venue locations in the next five years.
The social gaming concept has revolutionised the traditional idea of a game-centred Arcade by bringing in best-in-class food and drink offerings and creating an experience taking inspiration from the iconic, glamorous world of Formula 1®, by introducing innovative and deluxe venue design. The space boasts an enormous feature cocktail bar, several imposing F1®-circuit inspired ceiling chandeliers and vibrant race telemetry wall neons, along with a set of high-end private rooms which can be combined to achieve capacity for up to 200 guests. All complemented by high-end finishes and glowing warm lighting, to create a truly unique hospitality setting.
Covering 16,000sq ft, the new F1® Arcade takes inspiration from the world of Formula 1, with 69 racing simulators designed especially for the venue, each equipped with cutting edge motion and audio-visual effects to fully immerse guests in the race. Combined with a premium food and drink offering, the venue promises to match the famous F1 hospitality enjoyed at Grand Prix around the world.
The gameplay experience, created by Motorsport Games via its RFactor2 racing simulation platform, allows guests to choose from a variety of racing modes to compete against each other individually, in teams, or as part of all-venue racing formats. Different modes are available for all ages and abilities, making the experience competitive and exhilarating for all who race.
