Ever wanted to feel the rush of racing without ever leaving the valley? Welcome to Circuit Sim Racing in Woodland Hills, the ultimate adrenaline-pumping experience that brings the thrill of the racetrack to you—no pit crew required.
Nestled on Ventura Boulevard just west of Canoga Avenue, Circuit Sim Racing isn’t just another gaming center; it’s a high-octane playground for speed junkies and casual drivers alike. Whether you’re a die-hard motorsports fan or someone curious about the world of racing, this spot offers an immersive experience that’s as close as you can get to the real deal without strapping into an actual race car.
Inside, you’ll find a fleet of professional-grade simulators designed by an actual race team. With over 50 real-world tracks to choose from—including legendary circuits like Laguna Seca—and a variety of race cars on offer, the facility caters to every level of driver. From Formula 1 and GT cars to IndyCars and prototypes, there’s a machine for every type of racer. And the best part? No prior racing experience is necessary. Even if you don’t have a driver’s license, you can jump in and start experiencing the rush of real-time competition.
I had the chance to chat with Vatche on this episode of Eat Live Love San Fernando Valley, the visionary behind Circuit Sim Racing, who shared the passion and story behind this innovative venture. He explained how his lifelong love of racing and a desire to create a community hub for enthusiasts led him to launch the business. Originally dreaming of a private garage for his buddies, Vatche transformed his vision into a full-fledged sim center—one that’s welcoming to families, friends, and even professional drivers looking for a safe, cost-effective alternative to the racetrack.
What truly sets Circuit Sim Racing apart is the attention to detail. Each simulator is equipped with real race car seats from Kirkey, high-performance pedals, and a steering wheel complete with programmable buttons, paddle shifters, and carbon fiber finishes. The simulators go beyond mere visuals; they incorporate actuators that mimic the sensations of acceleration, braking, and even rear-end slide, so every turn feels as genuine as if you were speeding down a true racetrack. Imagine feeling the G-Force as the seat belts pull you back when you hit the brakes—it’s an experience designed to fool your senses into believing you’re actually behind the wheel of a race car.
Not only does the center offer a realistic racing simulation, but it also provides options to tailor your experience. Adjust the weather from a sunny day to a downpour, switch between daytime and nighttime racing, and even select cars that are easier to handle if you’re just starting out. It’s a setup that invites both casual fun and serious competition, making it the perfect destination for family outings, friends’ get-togethers, and even corporate events.
If you’ve ever dreamed of racing without the hefty price tag and physical risks of real-life tracks, Circuit Sim Racing is your ticket to the thrill. It’s more than just a game—it’s an experience that brings generations together and transforms the San Fernando Valley into a high-speed playground.
So, buckle up and get ready to experience the rush. Check out Circuit Sim Racing on Ventura Boulevard and see if you have what it takes to handle the track. And if you enjoyed this glimpse into the world of virtual racing, don’t forget to like, comment, and share. See you on the track!
