MB ☛ F1 Arcade Experience
Depending on your party size, you’ll get a bank of sims that are linked together. The cost depends on the time of day you go, and how many races you want. We went early afternoon on a Saturday and selected 5 races, which ended up costing us about $45 each.
The races are 10 minutes each. You race who you are with, as well as virtual racers like what you’d see in a video game version. In fact, we think they may be using some kind of modified version of EA Sports F1. When your 10 minutes are up (and they give you warnings), the game fades out, the session ends, and you receive points based on a number of factors. Then after a bit of a break, the next race begins.
