Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! Over the last two years, D-BOX has teamed up with Vesaro—a British leader in high-end racing simulators—to bring the thrill of Formula 1® to life at F1 Arcade venues. This collaboration has been making waves in the world of motorsport, transforming how fans experience sim racing! 

 

F1 Arcade is a place where speed enthusiasts and competitive spirits come together to share their passion for motorsport! Each location features state-of-the-art racing simulators, ready for action by both casual racers and seasoned pros of all ages. However, there’s more to F1 Arcade than just racing; it's about creating lasting memories with friends and family and bringing the passionate motorsport community together in a fresh and exciting way!  

 

At F1 Arcade, visitors can enjoy a one-stop shop for food, drinks, and F1 simulator racing, making for unforgettable experiences in a casual and inclusive atmosphere. F1 Arcade is also poised to become the ultimate destination for watching Grand Prix™ events with their Race Weekend Watch Parties, making it a place where the thrill of racing meets the joy of community! 

Taking the Pole Position 

Building on the roaring success of our collaboration with Vesaro, D-BOX is now partnering directly with F1 Arcade. Our goal? To deliver racing simulators with jaw-dropping realism for everyone including motor racing enthusiasts!  

This partnership not only cements D-BOX as the go-to supplier of haptic technology for F1 Arcade racing simulators, but also paves the way for our haptic products to be featured in all existing and future F1 Arcade locations. 

The D-BOX Advantage: Feel the Difference 

What sets this partnership apart is the integration of our world-renowned & FIA licensed haptic technology, which offers sim racers several game-changing benefits: 

  • Unparalleled realism: Our haptic systems precisely mimic the subtle vibrations and movements of a Formula 1® car, so players can feel every turn, bump, and acceleration as if they’re on the actual track. 
  • Increased immersion: By engaging multiple senses, D-BOX’s technology creates an immersive environment that blurs the line between virtual and reality, enhancing the overall experience. 
  • Greater engagement: Realistic and responsive feedback keeps racing fans hooked, making each session more thrilling and rewarding than the last. 

A Winning Streak for Expansion 

Since late 2022, F1® Arcade has been winning over fans with locations in London, Birmingham, and Boston, each equipped with 50 to 70 racing simulators powered by D-BOX’s haptic technology. The checkered flag of success has F1 Arcade planning a global expansion, with new locations in Washington D.C. opening in October 2024 and Las Vegas in mid-2025, and 30 venues planned worldwide by the end of 2027!

Be Extra Immersed with Grand Prix™ Watch Party Events 

Imagine this: you’re seated in a D-BOX-equipped simulator at an F1 Arcade venue during a Grand Prix™ event. The simulator syncs in real-time with the telemetry of the cars on the track, allowing you to "follow" your favorite driver throughout the race. Every acceleration, brake, and corner is mirrored in the simulator, offering an unparalleled sense of being in the driver’s seat. This unique experience, powered by exclusive telemetry data from Formula 1® teams, lets fans physically feel the challenges faced by their favorite drivers, deepening their connection to the sport and creating unforgettable memories. 

D-BOX: Pushing Boundaries and Redefining Experiences 

The exclusive partnership between D-BOX and F1 Arcade isn’t just about pushing technological boundaries; it’s about redefining the racing simulation experience. By making sensations once reserved for professional drivers accessible to everyone, we’re democratizing Formula 1® and opening exciting new avenues for the future of motorsport and immersive entertainment. 

As F1 Arcade races towards its global expansion, one thing is clear: thanks to D-BOX’s cutting-edge technology, Formula 1® fans around the world will soon enjoy a racing experience that’s as real as life.
