Had a great time here this afternoon. We had a head to head 5 race session on a Sunday afternoon for two people. Booked ahead but it was quiet anyway. Staff were polite and friendly and explained the session quickly. Great session, had a few drinks too.

A very exciting place to spend some time with friends. A stylish bar with state of the art race simulators. I might suck at diving a race car but it was fun to give it a go. There was a problem with one of the simulators we were using and the staff could not have been more helpful and let us re-do the race.

Had an amazing time at F1 Arcade Birmingham! A fast and furious racing simulation experience that’s perfect for groups — we went for a birthday celebration and absolutely loved it. The bar has a sleek design with a great selection of shots, beers, and cocktails. Food options are more on the snacky side, but that suited the vibe. Overall, a really fun and unique outing. Highly recommend for something a bit different!

Came for the most recent Silverstone watch party and it was absolutely unreal! The atmosphere and amongst the full venue of die hard F1 fans was electric! The staff there were awesome and gave such an amazing service. The food was unbelievable too, would defo recommend the Chicken Burger! After being in venue for this event, I saw an advertisement for something called Sprint Tuesday and spoke to manager Molly and a tech guy, think his name was Jack, but they were both very helpful about giving information on the event and what to expect. I then managed to go to one of the events with two others friends and my god, for £20, amazing value for money!! Can’t recommend this enough! Wish there were more events like this.

The place is amazing. Had a wonderful time here. It's amazing. I met Imani, and she was amazing, friendly, and kind. She taught me everything about the place and the game. Thanks a lot for the time and effort you gave. In total, the F1 arcade is amazing.
