Racing car simulator is ready to put visitors in the driving seat

Sheffield city centre visitor destination, Orchard Square, has signed up Simulation Station as its latest attraction, and first of its kind in South Yorkshire.

Bringing its simulated motor racing experience to the city, Simulation Station is set to offer visitors an immersive, action-packed, experience.

Family and friends can choose to race each other on laser-scanned tracks with more than 100 cars to choose from.

The new venue will also host a car-themed bar for visitors.

Simulation Station owner, Daniel Eshelby, said: “I’ve loved motorsport ever since my dad bought me a go-kart when I was 13-years-old. As a teenager we travelled up and down the UK racing at different tracks and I went on to manage a kart track for several years.

“Karting is seen as the gateway to Motor Sports but it is very expensive, and the cost can put off a lot of people.

“My ambition with Simulation Station, having visited over 30 kart tracks from Northern Ireland right down to Cornwall, is to launch and nurture the new grassroots of motorsports, offering a much cheaper way to enjoy and get involved in a competitive motorsport without compromising on enjoyment.

“Orchard Square offers Simulation Station the perfect city centre location with high footfall and a great reputation for attracting families and visitors of all ages.”

Shay Murray, Orchard Square manager, added: “We know parents in particular are always looking for the next big thing for birthday parties and celebrations, but this is a completely new experience that will wow both adults and kids alike.”
