A new Formula One simulator racing experience is coming to the United States.
F1 Arcade is a bar and arcade that offers "the world's first premium F1 simulator racing experience." The brand, which is officially licensed by Formula One, opened its first location in London in 2022, a second in Birmingham last year and has just announced its opening date for its third location in Boston, Massachusetts.
The third location will open its doors in the Seaport District in the South Boston Waterfront on April 22.
“We are thrilled to bring the F1 Arcade experience to Boston this Spring. After the incredible success ofour London and Birmingham locations, we can’t wait for guests in the US to experience our high-energyhospitality and entertainment venue,” Adam Breeden, founder and CEO of F1 Arcade, said in a statement.
According to a press release, the Boston location will boast 69 full-motion racing simulators and a 37-foot-long bar in a space that spans 15,500 square feet across two floors. Its address is 87 Pier 4 Blvd., Boston, MA 02210.
