Made for Kids: Fun Tracks and Full Driving Assists
It’s not all serious circuits. We have crowd favourites like Rainbow Road and Thomas the Tank Engine to keep younger racers grinning. And for kids or first timers, we switch on full driving assists, ABS, traction control, throttle assist and brake assist, so the car is easy to keep on track and they have the best time from the very first lap.
Fun for the Whole Family
One of the best parts about sim racing is that everyone can join in.
Parents versus kids. Brothers versus sisters. Friends versus friends. Everyone races together, laughs together and celebrates together.
It’s not just about who wins. It’s about sharing an experience you’ll be talking about long after the chequered flag falls.
