F1 Arcade is making its European debut in Madrid. For the first time, Formula 1 will open an official venue on the continent, offering fans an immersive experience like never before.
Formula 1 continues to expand beyond the track, selecting Madrid as its latest strategic location. F1 Arcade Madrid will be the first official F1 venue in Europe and is set to open in the early months of 2026. The launch will coincide with the symbolic timing of the new Spanish Grand Prix on the Madrid city circuit. The goal is clear: to bring Formula 1 into fans’ everyday lives. It’s not just about watching races on TV, but experiencing the thrills in person. Madrid will become a hub for European motorsport enthusiasts, strengthening the community and attracting new fans.
What the venue offers
The venue will cover 1,500 square meters across two floors and will accommodate up to 400 guests simultaneously. At the heart of the experience will be 71 state-of-the-art full-motion simulators, each faithfully replicating the sensations of driving a Formula 1 car. The movements are dynamic, and the feedback is highly realistic, catering to both beginners and experienced drivers.
F1 Arcade Madrid will feature two VIP areas, a 12-meter central bar, and dedicated spaces for private events. It will also include the Briefing Room, a facility with 18 simulators designed for corporate groups and large parties. The experience goes beyond virtual driving: guests will enjoy a high-end international menu and signature cocktails. Every detail is designed to complement the adrenaline of the races.
Visitors will have the chance to compete head-to-head or in team races. Immersive watch parties for live Grand Prix events will also be possible. The venue’s ultra-immersive design will feature starting lights, neon track layouts, and walls inspired by iconic circuits to create a thrilling atmosphere.

F1 Arcade Madrid will be located at Paseo de la Castellana 103, one of the most prestigious areas of the Spanish capital. The choice of location is strategic, as the area sees daily traffic from residents, tourists, and professionals. The venue will be easily accessible and seamlessly integrated into the urban landscape.
