Racecentre, is set to dramatically change the way fans interact with motorsport. There are only a handful of professional racing simulation centres open to the public around the world, and now Australia can boast some of our own.

We provide dynamic racing experiences for groups to race against each other in our custom built full-motion, surround screen and surround sound race car simulators. Race yourself or race your mates! It’s the closest thing to actual racing you can get.

Racecentre uses sim racing software that is innovative and user friendly. All our simulators have outstanding full-motion effects, precision surround sound and state of the art graphics. This is not an arcade game - these are authentic simulators.

Negative experience: Absolutely rude staff working today on the 30th December 2020 at 5pm. Called the shop at 3:30pm since the shop was closed on arrival and was told there will be someone in the shop at 5pm as they have a booking although the door and Google review show that it is opened between 12pm - 7pm. That aside upon returning to the store at 5pm and asked if we could have a 30 minute session for 2, the staff rudely and abruptly responded "NO I'M BUSY and cannot fit you in, I have bookings to deal with and I have another job!" First off I can understand if you are fully booked and if you politely advise to book another day we could. However you were clearly not busy and just sitting at the front seeming to give attitude to every single walk in customer prior to us. When prompt that I had called earlier he responded with that the phone number was to staff in Queensland and had nothing to do with the Sydney staffs schedule. Called back to the advertised number on Google to give feedback on the experience received back to he Queensland staff (which either sounded the manager or owner) and was promised a callback. In the end nothing had happened. If you really dislike dealing with customers please go find another job, don't think you are doing customers a massive favour by letting us experience your arcade, we are paying for the service, still we won't feel privileged and think that because we are paying we can be rude to you. On the other hand it seems the Sydney staff can be rude to customers because we are giving him business and apparently much more work than he was supposed to be doing for the day!

Hi Jun, We do apologize for your experience. Between our manager being away in QLD, managing to get to see is parents for the first time in over 12 months, and our staff member running from one part time job, to another, we ended up with a number of unexpected PC issues on start up which needed to be resolved. Unfortunately I was unable to contact the staff member as he was speaking to tech support, and therefor was unable to get back to you. If we can offer you a free session at another time, please be in contact. Regards, Enda Murphy

Negative experience: Staff (at 17.25 30th December 2020) gave us extremely impolite and rude attitude. If you cannot serve people right, just tell us, no need making others wait and waste their time. Arcade game racing is even better than this.

Orsi Toth-Pal 4 years ago

Negative experience: I made an order nearly a month ago. The suggested shipping date was 2 days ago but the order is still 'Pending' in the tracking info. I tried to get info through customer service where I was connected to a robot that couldn't help. I asked to get me connected to a real person but apparently they are 'busy helping other fans'. This was a birthday gift to a friend, I am very frustrated and still no solution.

Hi Orsi. We do not use robots, nor do we have an order pending. Can you please advise what you think you have ordered? You must have us confused with another store. Can you please remove this review, as it does not relate to our business.

Positive experience: Great simulation and easy to use

Chris 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was a little skeptical after a mistake with my booking (they close at 8pm on Saturdays). But after that was rectified with professionalism, we had a great time. Trent was an awesome guy who delivered a nice experience and has quite a bit of knowledge about real racing too. In short: it's worth the money, it's worth a visit!

Negative experience: Good fun. But no data collected or provided at the end of the race. Just a 10 sec review of results on the screen, not enough time to even take a pucture of results. I would be coming back , and a few times , if this improves.

Fantastic experience: We went there as a group of co-workers and it was really fun except the time when I broke the wheel because I turned it too much. Well, I was a beginner and sorry about that Race Centre. btw, we got voucher and tax refund for our session.

Fantastic experience: The staff were amazing especially Tom. He was really helpful and my husband really enjoyed his F1 racing experiences especially on his birthday. Thank you , Tom for making this day a special one for both of us. We will definitely come again.

Hi Riya, Thanks for your great feedback. Please ask the staff for a complementary membership for Tom on his next visit. That way he can race as long as he wants for $50 next time!! Cheers Enda

Negative experience: I will preface by stating that the experience was a good experience. Clearly a lot of money has been invested into this, and the motion feedback from the car in the seat was a nice touch, the sound was good, the gear was good except for the fact that i could pickup and put down the sequential shifter. That is why i have selected two stars. I would choose 0 if i could because you did use false advertising. I came in on the 13th of August and intended to do a 15 minute session, as indicated possible on your website. When the gentleman at the front desk asked me how long i would be using the simulators for, i said only 15 minutes, because i wasn't experienced. He said that was not possible, only, and i state clearly, ONLY, for 30 minutes or half an hour. I had come to the shop just for this so obviously i wasn't going to turn around and go home, so i had to dish out the $50 for the half hour. As a beginner, this was disheartening. Wont be returning. I should also add the fact that when we chose project cars we could only use Bathurst? which i found a little weird but acceptable i guess.

Fantastic experience: We had a 1 hour and 20 minute drive, spent $30 on parking to arrive at 8pm Saturday and find Racecentre closed. Both the website and Google clearly say 9pm close on Saturdays?!

Hi Joe. Apologies that the store was closed when you arrived on Saturday night. As we did not have any bookings, we must have closed a bit early. Our advertised hours should have reflected this. Please let us know when you can make it in again and we would be happy to offer you a complementary session. Thanks, Enda

Negative experience: Not worth the price. Unpredictable as the arcade games are more real life rather than the race centre one. Shakes so much and lost control so many times for no reason. Help button was a BONUS. The breaks weren't working normal and the gears there was no point in a clutch. Could've played arcade games for that price. Know for next time.

Hi NN. Sorry to hear you did not enjoy the experience. There is certainly a lot to take in, and most people cannot believe it can take the first hour, to just settle in a find your groove. The motion and controls take some time to adapt to, and to have to learn how to keep your selected race car on track, is something most people are surprised by. We do try to offer a more "real" experience than arcade machines, so comparing them, is not a good comparison. Thanks, Enda

Negative experience: Big Rip off So I went here about 3 weeks ago and when asked which cars I would like to use i said the "F1 2017". I then received a rude response "u can't their exclusive to League races. For $80 I should be allowed to use what every I want. In addition I was expecting them to have some high end wheels like TSPC racer or Fanatec club sport instead I was greeted by a g29 which is anything from the guaranteed realistic experience. If I'm paying $80 I expect better equipment if u own a rig with a T300 wheel u will get just as good expirence at home for free if not I recommend the grid Melbourne where the quality and customer service is 10x better. Don't WASTE YOUR MONEY

Racecentre
Racecentre

Hi Joey, it would be great if you had contacted us in the last 3 weeks, to see if we could resolve your complaint. We pride ourselves both on the quality of our customer service, and our equipment. We do have some exclusive content for our members, but the reason this is not offered to the general public is many times we are testing mods, and do not want to offer, what can be a glitch filled experience, to somebody who is not a member and would not understand what we are doing. I am not sure how you can compare our Motion simulator offer, against a non motion offer, but everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I know your friends at the Grid in Melbourne do a great job, and I wish you well in your sim racing career. Regards, Enda Murphy

Positive experience: Hubby raced & LOVED it, although he would of liked to have been informed to have to change out of gear into reverse to get off grass or sand in order to continue racing.

Hi Ms W. Glad your husband had a good experience. There is certainly a lot to take in, and most people cannot believe it can take the first hour, to just settle in a find your groove. Hopefully we can get your husband back again and would be happy to offer some extra time, if you let us know when you are coming. Thanks, Enda
