What is a racing simulator?
A Races2U racing simulator is a mobile virtual racing setup featuring a dedicated race seat, realistic steering wheel with force feedback, and pedals — designed to give guests the feel of driving real race cars using high-quality simulation technologyWhat is a slot car?
A slot car is a small electric car that runs on a specialized track with a groove (slot). The car stays in the slot using a guide pin, so it follows a fixed path around the track.
What are the differences between an analog slot car and a digital one?
An analog slot car must remain in its original lane, and each car needs its own lane to operate, so to race six cars requires a track that is six lanes wide. These tracks can be quite large and cumbersome to set up. A digital slot car and track allows for multiple cars to compete on as few as 2 lanes, with special sections of track where the user can select to change lanes. Digital slot cars even have the options of pit stops, safety cars, and telemetry that is not available for analog cars.
What is an RC car?
An RC (radio-controlled) car is a battery-powered vehicle that you control wirelessly. You can steer, accelerate, brake, and drive it freely on many different surfaces.
Are there differences between simulators?
Simulators can vary widely in construction, size, features, and realism, as well as cost to rent or buy. From a basic wheel, pedals and seat to full motion, virtual reality, surround sound, multiple screens… even built into the shell of a real car! Depending on your space and budget, we can build or rent almost anything you need for your racing experience.What is a Pinewood Derby?
A successful Pinewood derby requires a lot of advance planning, because unlike the rest of our racing options, Pinewood derby participants design and create their own cars. This process can take days, and is usually done on an individual basis. Races2U will provide the necessary kits and instructions to create the cars, and we provide the track and attendants on race day. This is a great opportunity for participants to showcase their creativity and engineering skills, and is best used as a team building exercise, as it would be impractical for an event like a trade show.
Can Races2U come to my event location?
Yes — we’re a fully mobile service. Our team brings racing equipment, staff, and setup to your venue, whether indoors or outdoors, large or small.
