The room was great fun with lots of interesting gadgets so that was interesting. They were able to put in an addition slot to accommodate our group and assist with our possessions left behind. My 5 and 6 year olds were able to join in too!

Team Sport Southampton Don’t hold back when racing around TeamSport Eastleigh’s 400-metre incredibly wide track, providing ample overtaking opportunities. The magnificent exit corner from the bridge allows speeds of up to 40mph down the Hanger straight before the Dunlop curve, a high-speed double apex corner with a tight entry and wide exit providing a test of determination and skill. Two exciting hairpins running in opposite directions are the last obstacles before its time to get back on the accelerator giving it full throttle over the flyover!

4. The Race Centre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 24 reviews
We began our journey over 10 years ago as the first race car simulation venue in the UK and have since gone to become the first chain of simulation venues with our sister venue in Halifax. Each of our ten race pod simulators has it's own 2.8m HD screen, allowing each driver to become completely immersed in the experience whilst racing around world famous circuits. The Race Centre provides an amazing modern alternative to karting making it ideal for Corporate Events, Stag Parties, Kids Parties, Private Groups and Birthdays, as well as for individual racing practice.

Sitting as near as damn-it on the floor in a race-type cockpit staring into a large screen, plus steering wheel feedback and engine sound coming through the headphones made for a GREAT time. The guys at the centre were also helpful, pleasant to talk to and shared some laughs. For first time visitors, the centre is 'unusually' located within a 1970's type shopping precinct, with parking located around the outside of the complex which has a 2 hour maximum stay period. I found it full up when I arrived (on a Friday afternoon), so parked within the Industrial Estate area up the road near to the railway station and walked for a few minutes to the centre.

I brought my son along to the summer party this afternoon. It was brilliant and he had a great time. The bbq theme food was really nice and the extra little touches my son loved (chips in a cone with a wooden fork) The games and balloon making and face painting were an added bonus. Always clean and tidy and the staff are amazing. Megan on face painting was really good with my son, and Macky is so good with the kids and makes sure they're all having a great time, nothing is too much trouble. Having a membership paid monthly is such good value and the party tonight was excellent. My son cant wait for the next time we visit.
