    Default iLounge Racing is Open at HFL, Welcome to the UK's Premium Demo Space for Racing Sims

    Hi Everyone,

    I know that this isn't HiFi but I just wanted to mention it on here as it's situated at HFL and with so many of our customers being PetrolHeads it kind of makes sense, for all the info and updates going forward please keep an eye on www.iloungeracing.co.uk.

    I'm really happy to announce that iLounge Racing is now open, from what started with a chat in a van 18 months ago has now resulted in a demo space where we have 4 simulators on demo from around £2000 to over £100,000.

    I'll keep it brief but the idea is that you can come along, experience how amazing simulators are now, try a few options, spec your preferred system and we will deliver and install.

    Whether it is a tool to get you quicker on track for racing or trackdays, or some online racing for fun or even single player, we've got you covered.

    We have partnered up with the major players to give you the best experience and support and to give you the ability to be as quick as anyone out there.

    Below are a few pictures and a video overview.

    If you'd like to come along or have a chat please feel free to give me a call on 01767 448121.

    Cheers,

    Paul.

    Good luck on the new venture.
    Out of interest, what is the dash on the rig in the smaller space?

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Getting the Radical SR1 in the Showroom!

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm full off good ideas me, as I am not racing the Radical at the moment as going to concentrate on racing the Lotus Elise for another year I thought it would be a good idea to put it in our new iLounge Racing Showroom as a centrepiece.

    Firstly it wasn't as easy as I thought due to the big step up to the room and also now it is in there I've not got something new coming to replace it so now it has got to come out, doh

    Anyway, please find some pictures below of the fun and games, thanks to the guys help, anyone fancy help getting it out

    Cheers,

    Paul.

    Musical Cars, Something New For The iLounge Showroom!

    Hi All,

    When we decided to open a dedicated motorsport simulator showroom it wasn't intended to be a Gulf themed room but it certainly ended up that way but to be honest what Livery is more iconic than the Gulf one.

    So as cool as it was having my race Radical SR1 in the showroom it didn't really fit the theme so I came across something online a few months ago that would fit in perfectly so the order was placed and it now sits proudly in the iLounge showroom to finish things off nicely.

    For me the late 60's/early 70's were a real golden era, especially in sportscar racing, with my 2 favourite cars of all time racing then, the Ford GT40 and Porsche 917, so anyone who visits the iLounge showroom will see the inspiration behind the theme, especially now that we've added the cool 917 from Half Scale Cars, it is basically a 70% scale model of one of the most striking looking and successful cars of all time, it even has an engine and can be driven, please find a link to their site and if you would like any info just let me know and I can put you in touch with the guys there -

    https://www.halfscalecars.co.uk/

    Anyway I just wanted to show a few pics of the fun and games of getting the Radical out and the 917 in, there is one last job to do, the 917 sits very low so we are having a plinth made for it to sit on to just raise it a touch.

    As an update on how iLounge is going, we have sold a few systems now and we also have Jonathan helping run it so onwards and upwards, will be amending the site soon with some bundle prices + new products + we will finally be holding a launch / open day early in 2023 ��

    Time Lapse Video -

    We also put this short video together of the fun and games.























    Cheers,
    Paul.

    Adding the Finishing Touches to the Showroom Porsche 917!

    Hi All,

    So around 2 years after the idea popped into my head of starting a Retail Demo Facility for Motorsport Simulators for home it is finally finished with the addition of a plinth for the Porsche 917 to sit on to make it more of a centre piece for the showroom as it was getting a bit lost just sitting on the floor, please find some pics below of the finished space and if you would like to come in to try any of the simulator solutions we have set up please feel free to get in touch to book an appointment.

    In other sim racing news, we are now proud to sponsor the Radical Sim Racing League where we are participate in the Radical World Cup Championship in the Pro Class and Endurance Championship, these are broadcast live on Friday and Sunday evenings with full commentary from James Parfitt, you can find the links below, don't expect me to be overly competitive as these are some of the best Sim Racers in the world but it is great fun to compete against these guys, the last race at LeMans was amazing, never thought coming 10th could be so satisfying -
