What is a SimWerk Pro Shop?

A Pro Shop is a SimWerk-certified sim racing venue: its rigs are connected to the SimWerk app, so the laps you drive there in person can be Verified. The first one, Pro Shop 01, is SimWerk's test lab, inside Auto Squad OC in Laguna Hills, California.

Booking
Free laps are booked by slot, online. Longer sessions, coaching and group nights are by arrangement: ask us.

Your first visit: the First 6 Laps

Never driven a sim? The First 6 Laps are free, once per person, booked slots only: 6 laps counting your out-lap, or 10 minutes of driving, whichever comes first. You drive a Ferrari 296 GT3 at Laguna Seca in Assetto Corsa Competizione, on the 4DOF motion rig. No experience needed.

  1. Check in & seat fit

    Scan the waiver QR code, get fitted to the rig, then get a two-minute briefing: brake in a straight line, look ahead, and know that the Corkscrew is Turn 8.

  2. 3 coached laps

    Follow a SimWerk coach on the next rig in the same lobby: our line, our braking points, right in front of you.

  3. 3 laps solo

    Run on your own while your coach calls out one fix per lap. Your best lap is recorded, and you see lap 1 against your best.

More driving after your 6 laps is by arrangement: ask us.

Your laps, Verified

Check in with the QR code on the rig and every lap lands on your profile in the SimWerk app. Clean laps are Verified because you drove them in person at a certified Pro Shop, checked in at the rig, in Assetto Corsa Competizione or Assetto Corsa. The app keeps leaderboards by game, track and car.

For venues

SimWerk sells rigs and its software to sim racing venues, dealerships, performance shops and tracks. Once a venue is certified, its rigs issue Verified laps, whatever their brand, and the venue keeps its own seat-time revenue. Large orders can get their own co-branded brackets, and prices are by quote. Every rig is connected to SimWerk, so guests check themselves in and problems show on the venue's Staff page.
