Events

Bring the grid to your event.

Professional simulators branded to you, with transport, setup, staffing and coaching all handled on our side.

What it takes

A flat surface and power. We bring everything else, set it up before your guests arrive, and run it all day.

Simulators
One or two as standard, more if you need them.
Day rate
From $1,200. Travel and lodging quoted separately.
Floor space
About 40 sq ft per simulator, so 80 for a pair.
Setup
An hour for one simulator, 90 minutes for two.

What you get

The full setup, run by us.

Professional Sim Rigs

Full racing simulators with high-performance wheels, pedals, and displays. The same rigs we run at Grid Lounge. Not stripped-down versions.

Live Leaderboard

A real-time leaderboard tracks lap times and keeps the competition alive. Your audience will keep coming back to beat their score, and to beat each other.

Custom Branded Displays

Simulator displays are fully customizable with your company logo, event branding, or product visuals. Every lap your audience drives is branded to you.

Staffed and Coached

Grid Lounge staff attend every activation to handle setup, run the experience, and coach the drivers. We handle the racing while you focus on your event.

Three steps, and none of them are yours.

We Handle Everything

Equipment, travel, setup

We transport, set up, and test everything before your guests arrive. No venue prep required on your end. Just point us to the space. If there’s a flat surface and power, we can make it work.

Your Audience Races

We run the show

Our team manages the entire experience on-site. We brief drivers, coach them through their sessions, manage the leaderboard, and keep the energy going all day. You get all the engagement, none of the logistics.

A branded Grid Lounge simulator in use on a client stand at a trade show

It looks like your stand, not ours.

The simulator arrives in your branding: your logo on the displays, your colours on the screens, your event name on the leaderboard. The only Grid Lounge thing on the floor is the person running it.

That matters at a trade show, where every stand is competing for the same few seconds of attention. A queue forms around a racing simulator, and the queue is standing in front of your wall.

Why it works

A simulator holds a room.

People Stay Longer

Dwell Time

The average trade show booth visit lasts under two minutes. A racing simulator keeps people engaged for five to ten minutes per session, and they come back for another lap. More time at your booth means more time with your brand.

The Leaderboard Does the Work

Competitive Energy

A live leaderboard turns passive visitors into active competitors. People challenge each other, share their times, and pull in their colleagues to beat their score. Your activation becomes the most talked-about experience on the floor.

Your Brand on Every Screen

Brand Integration

Custom displays on every simulator put your brand front and center during every session. Not a logo on a banner in the background. Your brand is part of the experience itself. Every driver leaves with your name in their head.
