Racing car simulator

[atticattack]

I’m looking at buying into a business that provides a racing car simulator for parties, children adult that sort of thing, and I’m hoping you can give me a little feedback before I take the plunge It really is a lot of money and I want to see if there’s a market out there first

The simulator is amazing it’s like nothing you have seen before, it’s not like a play station game, it’s used by racing drivers to hone their skills (apparantly). it’s based in a self contained trailer about the size of a horse box and it has 4 seats for four people to race directly against each other, not the computer.
So it’s very different in that sense, it does need a average sized drive to place it though.
I’m told it’s great for parties and comes with pit style passes for the kids, or any racer that hires it. And some other goodies too.

It is aimed at the party market and is hired in two hour slots, What I was wondering is would this be ever something you would consider renting? The rental charge is £365 for the two hours, but the business owner says you can be flexible on the price, I.e 3 hours for £365. How does it sound? Would that be something you would hire at that price?

Feedback would be greatly received

Thanks guys

I don't think I'd pay that much for something like that, even if it is divided between 4 players.
I could get a decent trackday event for that driving Ferrari's round a race track or somthing!

Way expensive mate....I love stuff like that but there is no way I would pay that much for two hours.
There is a lot of things I could spend that sort of money on that lasts a lot longer than that.

Little bit more info (images etc maybe?) may make me think differently but it seems an awfull lot of money for such a short time.

I think for most parties it might be a little too expensive.. Then saying that, taking 20 kids to go-karts/laserquest isn't cheap either.

I'd maybe expect better success at Corporate Entertainment/Team Building events.

Also, parties are likely to be weekends so doing the business thing would maybe be better during the week.

Not sure about other companies but pigs will be flying before I ever get something like that on a team building day... simply too pricey.
