Sim Racing
Race for fun or race competitively Race by yourself or with friends
Almost 50 years ago the first car racing video game made it’s debut in pizza parlors, technology has come a long ways. Today the very best race teams and drivers around the World us the same software and hardware that we use here at Yellowstone Grand Prix.
The tracks and cars are laser scanned and modeled from their real world counterparts to not just look like real life but to feel and sound like real life. We have hundreds of tracks to race one including infamous circuits like Spa and Laguna Seca to regional dirt and asphalt circle tracks such as Hickory Motor Speedway and Daytona. We offer almost as many cars from F1 to late model dirt cars, from a Porsche GT3 to a Mazda Miata.
The hardware is manufactured by Fanatec, the wheel bases are direct drive systems, they provide exceptional feel and feedback, you will have a hard time telling that it’s not real. Drop a wheel off into the grass on the inside of turn 2 and you’ll know it, racing the Nurburgring you’ll feel every little crack in the legendary asphalt. Like the wheels, the pedals provide amazing feedback and operate just as a real car as do the gear shifts and handbrakes.

Drivers Search
Many of you have aspirations to go car racing in the real world, we’re going to make it happen!
We are taking one sim racer each month, May through October, to the races. Putting them in our race cars, paying their entry fee, working with them at the races to be faster drivers and maybe, just maybe win their class that day.
Just like the GT Academy from the Gran Turismo movie, we will use sim racing to help and hopefully launch your dream of racing in real life.
Drivers can choose from four cars to use on our sims, each of those cars is the same (or similar) to what they can race in real life.
Each month we will pick one sim driver, not necessarily the fastest driver, to fill the seat of our real race cars at the next race. While speed matters, racing requires: finesse, quick reactions, car control, smoothness and the ability to read situations.
There is no added cost to be evaluated, simply ask for the Driver Search Evaluation when you come int to sim race.
For liability insurance purposes, in order to be awarded a seat in a real race car, drivers must be at least 18 years of age and have a valid drivers license.
This is all possible thanks to our sponsors; Mentor Motors, Rhino Rush Energy and Demon Tweeks all have the same goals, to get more people racing.
