Why Simulator Racing?

We are Cornwall, Plymouth & Portsmouths first and only virtual racing centre! Using the latest Virtual Reality headsets we also provide realistic and comfortable Next Level Racing Seats with integration wind generation technology that helps give more immersion, as well as the butt kicker which helps provide the bumps and jolts along the way.

With VR Racing Simulators you can enjoy the thrills and endure the spills of racing on your choice of real world tracks and in a massive range of realistically recreated cars that include cars, track cars, stock cars and Formula 1 racers. So if you want a day out with the family, are planning a birthday party, want a unique stag, hen or work party then at Player Ready VR we will not disappoint.

WHAT ARE VR & SIMULATORS

4/5D is the latest development in virtual reality simulators. You wear a VR headset to enjoy the 3D effects of a fully tracked headset which allows you to look all around inside the car, check your mirrors, see hands gripping the steering wheel.

The butt kicker system sits underneath the racing seat and tracking information from the computer will help you feel the bumps of the track or a rough gearshift. Further to that we have added wind generation software to also generate air which blows faster depending on speed which increases the sense of immersion but also helps keep you cool. You really do feel the wind rushing at you as you hit 200mph on the straights.

GO KARTING VS PLAYER READY VR SIMULATORS

The first main advantage is price! VR Simulator Racing is around 60% cheaper than most go-karting, at £25 for 60 minutes of racing thats only 0.33p per minute, whereas go karting is normally £1-1.30 per minute* (based on Cornwall prices). 

Race against 4 human opponents and up to 14 A.I controlled opponents of a skill level to suit your ability. With more than 20 racers on the track things can get a little crazy. Especially on a sharp when but it does help offer a genuine track style racing experience.

Go Karting is also exciting and competitive but with our Player Ready VR Simulators we can offer all the benefits of go-karting but with a host of other benefits.

GREATER VARIETY

You don’t have to stick to the same old kart going around the same old track. You could spend an hour driving an EVO before you get into a  Audi R8 for a completely different experience. Or you could choose a classic car or if you want you can race a virtual go kart around American go-karting tracks before you take on some of the biggest and most challenging Formula 1 tracks the world has to offer.

FAIR COMPETITION

With go-karting you are relying on the karts all being of the same age, quality and maintained to the same level. We have all been there when your mate gets the kart the staff normally use which is tuned that little bit better and you have no way to catch him.

Or what if you are 20 stone and you mate is 10 stone, with Player Ready Simulators the weight difference will make no difference to the performance of the virtual car on the track. All simulators are built from the same components and no one has an advantage. But if someone in the group has more skill you can give the novice racers an advantage to keep things competitive.

SAFE AND RELIABLE

Driver Ready VR Experience tries to offer a lifelike experience while maintaining the fun. You can feel like you are wizzing along at 200mph, but if you crash you will feel little more than a bump. If you crash in the Virtual Reality Simulator depending on the rules set before the race, you can often just continue or wait until the next round and carry on. So if you book at hour – you will have an hour of racing without time for repairs or injury.

For younger kids 8+ that take to the track they can experience the thrills of high speed racing without their parents stressing about potential injury. This can make a great Childrens Party Option if you live near Plymouth, Cornwall & Portsmouth and looking for a great party experience.

HUGE CHOICE

The software behind Player Ready VR Simulators has a huge selection of tracks, track configurations and car types, colours and styles. You are limited to racing the same vehicle around a single static go kart track. With over 60 tracks including go kart tracks, Formula 1 tracks and even off-road or street circuits. With over 100 different cars for beginners as well as the most complex and challenging F1 or supercars.

Don’t worry the staff at Player Ready VR will help you pick cars, settings (such as automatic, sequential, driving line, auto brake assistance etc) to ensure your group has a fun experience. 

COMFORTABLE

Also most people find that a Virtual Reality simulator is more physically comfortable than being thrown around inside a go-kart. They can also be driven by all ages and by people with some physical impairment. 

While our simulators include force feedback and haptic feedback it will not be the kind of situation that can cause injuries such as whiplash or bad backs.

One downside to VR racing like all simulation it can cause about 10% of people to feel motion sick. Around half of these people are fine when they switch to using the large 50 inch Television mounted on the simulator. If you experience motion sickness normally – please come and take a free 5 minute test session.
