Frequently Asked Questions

Paddock SimWorks is a Long Island, NY-based motorsport entertainment company. We bring professional racing simulators directly to your event — whether that's inside a venue or at an outdoor gathering using our climate-controlled race trailer wrapped in Paddock SimWorks livery. Our simulators feature direct-drive wheelbases and 49” curved ultra-wide displays for an immersive racing experience.

We primarily serve Long Island, NY (Nassau and Suffolk Counties) and surrounding areas including the greater New York City metro area. Contact us if you’re outside these areas and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

We have 4 professional simulators. All 4 can be set up to race head-to-head in the same virtual lobby simultaneously, or each can run independently for individual sessions.

Our race trailer is approximately 28–35 ft and fully climate-controlled, so it operates comfortably in any weather — rain, heat, cold. Inside are 4 direct-drive simulators with 49” curved ultra-wide displays. Outside, a 25 ft retractable awning creates a spectator area. The trailer has an onboard generator so no venue power connection is required (though we can hook up to venue power if preferred).

Trailer Events use our climate-controlled race trailer, which is brought to outdoor venues, car shows, festivals, and large events — all 4 sims, Nassau & Suffolk.

Onsite Events have us bringing the simulators inside your venue — offices, event halls, venues, homes — without the trailer. Local (Nassau & Suffolk) or NYC corporate programs.

Every rig runs Assetto Corsa with Content Manager and an extensive content library — 270+ cars, from F1 and GT3 to touring cars and classic racers, and 175 track layouts from Spa to Watkins Glen. Fully offline by design, so we don't need your venue's wifi to run a race. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned sim racer, we have something that'll blow your mind.
