Frequently Asked Questions
How does a mobile racing simulator rental actually work?
At FastLap Sim-Racing Rentals, our trailer rolls up to your venue with up to four fully-built rigs inside. We handle delivery, installation, calibration, and breakdown. You just need space for the trailer and guests who want to race — everything else is dialed in before the first green flag.
Why don't you offer VR headsets with your simulators?
We run Samsung Odyssey 49" ultrawide curved monitors instead. VR causes motion sickness for a surprising number of guests, raises hygiene concerns with shared headsets, and slows rotations between racers. Ultrawides give immersive peripheral vision without any of that friction.
Why do you use rFactor 2 instead of a console racing game like Forza or Gran Turismo?
rFactor 2 is what actual professional racing teams use for driver training. The tracks are laser-scanned, the tire physics are accurate to the millimeter, and the cars model real-world behavior.
How long does a typical race session take per guest?
Plan roughly 8–12 minutes per guest per rig — that's a few practice laps plus a timed hot lap. With four rigs running, a 100-person event comfortably fits in about 4 hours. For tournament formats with brackets and finals, budget closer to 15 minutes per driver.
Do I need any racing or gaming experience to drive one of your rigs?
None. Our on-site staff gets first-timers comfortable in about 60 seconds — the direct-drive wheel and loadcell pedals are actually more intuitive than arcade gear because they behave like a real car. Most guests post their fastest lap in their third or fourth attempt.
What kind of space do I need at my venue for the trailer setup?
We need room to park the trailer (similar footprint to a large pickup with a box trailer) plus a level area nearby for guest queuing. Indoor venues need a loading door we can stage near. At FastLap Sim-Racing Rentals, we do a quick site check before the event to confirm access and power requirements.
What kind of hardware do you use in your racing simulators?
Every rig runs a Simagic direct-drive wheelbase and wheel, Sim-Lab loadcell pedals, and a rigid Trak Racer or Sim-Lab aluminum chassis, paired with a Samsung Odyssey 49" ultrawide monitor and rFactor 2 software. Think pro-team driver-training gear, not arcade parts — the same caliber components real sim racers run at home.
