The Race Centre

The Race Centre in Chandler’s Ford, near Southampton and Winchester, provides immersive motorsport simulation experiences for groups, companies and private celebrations. Guests take the wheel of professional race car simulators and compete on a wide selection of famous circuits, with sessions designed for complete beginners as well as experienced racing enthusiasts.

For corporate organisers, the centre offers private Grand Prix events for groups of up to 30 drivers, including registration, briefing, practice, qualifying, multiple races and a podium presentation. Team Endurance sessions are available for larger groups, with several teams competing against one another while managing driver changes and pit strategy. These formats work well for team building, client entertainment, staff socials, company away days and informal competitions.

The venue also welcomes private groups, stag and hen parties, birthdays and junior celebrations. Organisers can arrange private tournaments with different race formats, selected cars and circuits, live event data and structured race programmes. The experience is fully supervised, making it suitable for mixed-ability groups and participants who may not have tried a racing simulator before.

A licensed bar serves alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, while pre-ordered catering options are available for group bookings. The team can accommodate private events outside standard opening hours with advance notice, helping organisers plan around their schedule. With event support from arrival through to the final results, The Race Centre offers an energetic alternative to traditional karting and a distinctive group activity for events in Hampshire.
