Here we find ourselves at the Lets Race simulation centre located a stones throw away from Gatwick airport in Horley, Surrey.
LetsRace is the only venue in the United Kingdom that boasts publicly accessible motion platforms available all year round.
The simulators are networked together allowing people to show up and race each other to get a loose idea of what its like to drive a F1 car.
We had a fantastic time chatting with the staff as well as other people at the LetsRace venue even bumping into fellow Sim-Racers which was quite a surprise as we all know only 6 exist in the world.
It was clear that the simulators are set up to make them publicly accessible with steering torque/FFB set relatively low, along with brake and accelerator pedals that more closely resemble the feel of a road car than that of a race car.
All in all I think the appeal of LetsRace is that it allows anyone to simply jump-in and drive with no prior experience giving a good taster of simulated racing to people who would otherwise never know about it.
If you happen to be near Gatwick airport in the UK and felt like a bash in a simulated F1 car then I'd certainly recommend checking it out, if not just for the interesting experience of sitting in a motion platform.
LetsRace not only offers its simulator experiences but the venue contains a full bar as well as facilities to accommodate the younger wannabe race drivers with non motion simulators running Gran Turismo.
I'd like to thank the staff and people we met at LetsRace for making our visit so enjoyable and look forwards to seeing you all again in the future.
