The entertainment hub will feature F1 racing simulators, as well as a range of food and beverage options. F1 Arcade, the immersive racing simulator and social gaming experience, will launch its latest US entertainment venue on August 14 in Chicago, Illinois. The venue will have 70 full-motion racing simulators, which are designed in conjunction with Formula 1. Located within an old brewery, visitors can expect to enjoy a Formula 1-inspired sim racing experience built for group celebrations, from birthdays to bachelor and bachelorette parties.

Racing around iconic tracks, players will be able to take on up to two friends in head-to-head races, or for larger groups split into teams earning points in each race. First reported in December 2025, F1 Arcade Chicago is the brand’s seventh US location, joining social gaming venues in Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Denver, Las Vegas and Atlanta. The entertainment brand also operates two venues in the UK, as well as a franchised location in Madrid, Spain. Operated by Top Racing Iberia, F1 Arcade Madrid features 68 full-motion racing simulators and opened in April earlier this year.
