Brand Activations

Bring the Grid
to Your Event.

A fully staffed, turnkey sim racing experience delivered to your venue.

Grid Lounge Activations bring professional-grade racing simulators directly to your trade show, grand opening, launch event, or brand experience. We handle everything: equipment, setup, staffing, and coaching, so your audience gets an unforgettable experience and your brand gets the attention it deserves.

What’s Included

Everything handled.
Nothing left to you.

Professional Sim Rigs

Up to two full racing simulators with high-performance wheels, pedals, and displays. The same rigs we run at Grid Lounge. Not stripped-down versions.

Live Leaderboard

A real-time leaderboard tracks lap times and keeps the competition alive. Your audience will keep coming back to beat their score, and to beat each other.

Custom Branded Displays

Simulator displays are fully customizable with your company logo, event branding, or product visuals. Every lap your audience drives is branded to you.

Staffed and Coached

Grid Lounge staff attend every activation to handle setup, run the experience, and coach the drivers. We handle the racing while you focus on your event.

The Value

Why brands activate with Grid Lounge.

Dwell Time

People Stay Longer

The average trade show booth visit lasts under two minutes. A racing simulator keeps people engaged for five to ten minutes per session, and they come back for another lap. More time at your booth means more time with your brand.

Competitive Energy

The Leaderboard Does the Work

A live leaderboard turns passive visitors into active competitors. People challenge each other, share their times, and pull in their colleagues to beat their score. Your activation becomes the most talked-about experience on the floor.

Brand Integration

Your Brand on Every Screen

Custom displays on every simulator put your brand front and center during every session. Not a logo on a banner in the background. Your brand is part of the experience itself. Every driver leaves with your name in their head.
