The Racing Challenge
Racing Challenge….the only 4 and 8 driver racing car simulators in Europe
Everyone enjoys the challenge of winning a race...young and old, male or female, novice or professional, and with over 1 million birthdays for ANY age group EACH WEEK in the UK, Racing Challenge offers a unique and exciting experience for both private and corporate eventsThe Racing Challenge Franchise provides two distinct business opportunities
The SUPER 4 trailed unit is compact, with 4 drivers racing each other, very versatile and easy to use in operation. Primarily designed for the private party, it is also now exciting more and more corporate clients.
Alternatively its bigger sister, the SUPER 8, has 8 drivers in a race, is truck mounted with an optional large 450sq.ft hospitality awning and has an impressive string of delighted Blue Chip clients to its name.
The simulators offer people the chance to race against each other, in the same race at the same time, on a choice of actual Grand Prix race tracks. This gives an ultra realistic driving and racing experience - at a venue of the client’s choice. This explains why our clients have a fantastic experience many do not forget (just read a selection of our testimonials below).
Racing Challenge now has both Super 8 and Super 4 franchises available throughout the UK
Demand for our services continues to grow, as people attend private parties and then book the experience for themselves -and our corporate workload is just as busy, which explains our need for further UK franchisees.As a Super 4 franchisee, you are assigned the rights to your own area, the size of which will relate to local demographics. You will be able to build your own UK franchise business, working from home usually, and possibly even on a part time basis.
As a Super 8 franchisee, you are assigned the rights to your own region. Definitely full time, you will need storage facilities for the Super 8 Race transporter and its associated equipment in order to build your successful business.
