World of Racing - Pasadena, California

I went with my boyfriend and we both had a blast! Staff were super friendly and helpful. We were helped by Bradley and another guy but didn’t catch his name. The graphics were amazing and the motion sensor was realistic! When you’re driving, they blow air to simulate a realistic drive! My boyfriend and I had a coupon from our family but definitely would recommend coming here! We definitely will come again!

The simulators are fantastic! The force feedback in the steering wheels are smooth and can really feel the details of the road. The Heusinkveld Sprint pedals were quite responsive although for my personal preference the brake pedal was too soft and not able to trail brake due to hitting 100% in 20 pounds and not having enough travel. The motion sim was cool but needs to be dialed way back. It felt like being whiplashed at every shift point and was distracting to drive with. The whole time I kept thinking, “man if only I wasn’t being shaken like a ketchup bottle I could actually focus on a great lap time!” Overall very fun and awesome experience if you ever dreamt of driving like a race car driver! I did leave the facility feeling nauseous after driving in the whiplash simulator for an hour though.

I hosted my boyfriend’s 40th surprise birthday party here. It was SO MUCH FUN! We were all new to car simulation racing but being F1 fans, we all had so much fun racing the various cars and tracks. The instructors were really friendly and happily answered all of our silly novice questions.

The simulators were legit- three big screens to immerse your vision with comfortable but realistic seats that sat on hydraulics and moved in line with your race. We did 4 quali/races and raced among our friends. Communicated over race radio which allowed for jokes, banter, and general hilarity.

Because we were a private party, they allowed for us to bring our own food and drinks- there were tables In the back to set up.

We did 3 hours of the private booking and enjoyed every second of it!
Highly recommend and would do it again in a heartbeat!!

Took my partner here for an hour on the Nurburgring. Very reasonable rate at $39/hr. One of the sims steering wheel disconnected a few times, so we got an extra 20 minutes of race time which was quite generous. Overall, sims are very nice and so is the staff working here. It was a fun experience and I can see myself coming back here in the future!

I am an F1 and FD fan and thought it would make total sense to throw my birthday at World of Racing.

Because I was organizing my event there, they extended a discount on the Wedensday Race Academy. I decided to do the Academy session first to get used to the Sim rig, and I was so glad that I did. I don't get motion sickness at all in my day-to-day and have never gotten sick on an airplane. However, just a minute on the rig with the 3-screen setup had me dizzy and very nauseous.

I kept calling him "Brandon" but I am seeing other reviews call him "Bradley" (Yikes! What being dizzy and ready to blow chunks will do! Sorry I messed up your name!!!) was an absolute sweetheart. He kept checking in on me and even told me a white lie when I asked if I still looked green around the gills. I was as white as a sheet when I finally looked in a mirror that night. So technically, not a lie but I still hadn't shaken the dizziness.

On my birthday, I was prepared and took non-drowsy Dramamine and was a super happy camper. The racing was amazing and my entire group had a really good time. There are tables and chairs, where my revelers sat and talked smack.

Definitely going to go back and support a local business. This was an amazing experience that honestly makes one respect the pros because what they do is well harder than most give them any credit for.

Special thanks to Donovan, Ryan, Nacho and Chris as well for making this one of the best birthdays I've had in a long minute.

And I am sorry for butchering the name Bradley/Brandon. I appreciate you! You made the experience 1000% better! And I did not yak on your shoes! #win

Great experiencing going here with friends. If you like racing video games this takes it to a new level. I would have given this 5 stars but the only draw back is the price. It's way to expensive for a video game. I would highly recommend it for a one time experience. Reduce the price to 25 and you will have repeat business.

Nothing short of unbelievable and just completely remarkable. First and foremost the staff was incredibly personable and it was as it they have already known you. You can tell they’re passionate about what they’re doing. Secondly, the facilities they have put together is just absolutely incredible top-of-the-line equipment, clean friendly, and very well-maintained, great parking as well. In a good location highly recommend coming here if you want to have a blast.
