What we offer

Racing Car Benz is a sim racing centre in Bonn-Beuel with 10 full-motion racing simulators made by Actoracer. Our 220 m² arena is set in a former vintage car workshop and was founded in 2018 by Anna and Dominic Benz. You choose from over 170 cars and over 40 tracks, running on Assetto Corsa. A big screen lets friends and colleagues follow the race while they wait.

Who it is for

Expats living in the region, visitors to trade fairs in Cologne and Bonn, tourists and anyone who loves cars. You do not need any experience and you do not need a driving licence. Our team sets up each simulator for you and explains steering, throttle and brakes before you start. Driving aids make the first laps easy.

Requirements

Drivers need to be at least 140 cm tall so the seat and pedals fit, there is no minimum age. Children under 14 need an adult supervisor on site. The weight limit is 130 kg, and very tall people over 200 cm may not fit into the simulator, so please ask us first. Comfortable shoes you can drive in are all you need. Glasses are no problem.

Prices

Single sessions are priced per simulator: €35 for 30 minutes, €60 for 60 minutes, €85 for 90 minutes and €100 for 120 minutes. Groups of 4 to 10 people pay €63 per person for 90 minutes of event time, including 60 minutes of driving. For 20 people the package costs €1,260, for 30 people €1,890. Children's birthday parties start at €16.50 per child on weekdays, from 6 children. For 10 to 20 children there is the Arena package: all 10 simulators for 2 hours, €800 for the whole group.

Groups, team events and stag parties

Stag and hen parties, team events, birthdays and Christmas parties all work well in our arena. In challenger mode you race against each other, every lap is timed and the live ranking runs on the big screen. Catering can be added on request. If your team cannot come to us, we bring mobile simulators to your office, venue or trade fair stand.

Getting here

You will find us at Königswinterer Straße 107A, 53227 Bonn. Take tram line 62 to the stop Limperich Nord, from there it is about a 5 minute walk, and Bonn-Beuel station is about 10 minutes on foot. From Cologne, the RE 8 and RB 27 trains run from Köln Messe/Deutz, the station at the Cologne trade fair grounds, to Bonn-Beuel in about 20 minutes. Until 13 December 2026 there is construction work with replacement buses on this line, so please check your connection before you travel.

By car

From central Cologne it takes about 30 minutes by car. Free parking is available right in front of the arena. If your group wants to celebrate afterwards, the train is the easier choice, so nobody has to drive.
