Live out your F1 dreams with a simulator experience at Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort

f1 simulator

Over the next few weeks, F1 fans in the Principality can get a taste of what it really feels like to be behind the wheel of a race car thanks to an exciting new simulator experience on offer at the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort. 

From 8th to 27th May, two F1 Phoenix Pro simulators will be set up on the terrace of L’Orange Verte restaurant at the seafront hotel.  

The machines, which are designed to be as realistic as possible, with the same chassis, cockpit, steering wheel and pedals used by F1 single-seaters, allow their drivers to hit a virtual circuit and take on other pilots in a fully immersive and adrenaline-fuelled experience.  

Those brave enough to take on the challenge must be at least 150cm tall. Reservations are not required, but are recommended – this is likely to be a very popular attraction given all the motorsports action taking place during the month of May in Monaco.  

Prices start at €35 for a 10-minute ride. Pairs can race alongside each other for €70 for a 10-minute session or €120 for 20 minutes on the track.
