The Midwest region has seen rapid growth in sim racing demand, and Illinois reflects that trend. From major metros to secondary cities, most Illinois residents are within 60 minutes of a sim racing center.
Sim racing centers give drivers access to professional-grade cockpits, direct drive wheels, load-cell pedals and triple-monitor or VR setups running titles like iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, rFactor 2 and Automobilista 2. Most venues offer walk-in sessions, team races and corporate bookings. Expect sessions to run $39–$120 for 30 minutes of rig time.
