The world's first official Formula 1 simulator is finally here.

From the Netflix hit series Drive to Survive to the upcoming F1 movie starring Brad Pitt (in theaters June 27), F1 has officially taken over the pop culture scene. With a global fanbase of 826 million and counting, the world’s first official Formula 1 is another indicator of that. A racing experience venue that combines the thrill of F1 with the energy of social gaming and immersive dining and drinks, the simulator can be found in PhiladelphiaBoston Seaport and D.C. Union Market.

In honor of F1: The Movie, guests can head to the F1 Arcade to enjoy:

  • The Pit Lane Perk: an exclusive limited-edition cocktail inspired by the film. This elevated take on the Espresso Martini is made with Belvedere vodka and crafted by LP O’Brien, winner of Netflix’s Drink Masters and F1 Arcade’s new Global Creative Director of Beverage. Served in a dramatic smoking F1 car, it’s a bold toast to F1’s Hollywood moment.
  • Epic Prizes: Across all three venues, guests have the chance to win tickets to F1: The Movie screenings, plus other exclusive giveaways.
  • Grand Prize Alert: Fans can follow @f1arcadeusa on Instagram for a shot at winning Paddock Club passes to the United States Grand Prix in Austin or a $100 credit to their Arcade Hub account.

Visitors can also enjoy bold branding, dynamic lighting, and immersive design, making it the perfect destination to get in the racing spirit before the movie hits theaters.
