A motor racing simulation venue is set to open its doors on Church Street, in Sheffield city-centre, after signing up for space at Orchard Square.
The venue allows visitors to race on a host of laser-scanned tracks, with more than 100 cars to choose from and will also host a car-themed bar featuring racing memorabilia.
Simulation Station owner Daniel Eshelby said: “I’ve loved motorsport ever since my dad bought me a go-kart when I was 13 years old. As a teenager we travelled up and down the UK racing at different tracks and I went on to manage a kart track for several years.
“Karting is seen as the gateway to Motor Sports but it is very expensive, and the cost can put off a lot of people.

“My ambition with Simulation Station, having visited over 30 kart tracks from Northern Ireland right down to Cornwall, is to launch and nurture the new grassroots of motorsports, offering a much cheaper way to enjoy and get involved in a competitive motorsport without compromising on enjoyment – and where better to start that in Sheffield and my home region of South Yorkshire.”
Shay Murray, Orchard Square manager, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Simulation Station to Orchard Square – a unique racing experience you will find hard to match without actually getting behind the wheel of a racing car.
“We know parents in particular are always looking for the next big thing for birthday parties and celebrations, but this is a completely new experience that will wow both adults and kids alike.”
