The closest real sim racing to Palm Beach Gardens
Sim to Grid sits in Stuart, about 35 minutes south from Palm Beach Gardens near PGA Boulevard and Alton. For drivers in Palm Beach Gardens, Alton, BallenIsles and Mirasol and the rest of Palm Beach County, it's the nearest place to get real seat time on a professional-grade racing simulator - not an arcade game, the same class of rig pro drivers train on.
Palm Beach Gardens drivers usually already know what they are doing. What they lost when PBIR closed is anywhere to practice. Coaching here tends to be about tenths rather than fundamentals - brake release shape, rotation, tire management over a stint - and about arriving at Sebring or Homestead already dialled in rather than using session one as a warm-up.
Northern Palm Beach County is full of interesting cars and drivers who attend track days at Sebring or Homestead a few times a season. What it doesn't have, since PBIR closed in 2022, is anywhere local to actually practise. Coming north to Stuart is shorter than either circuit and the work transfers directly.

Simulator rates & bookingPalm Beach Gardens - questions
Palm Beach International Raceway closed - where do people go now?
Sebring or Homestead-Miami, both a serious drive. That is exactly the gap. Coming north to Stuart is shorter than either, and the sim work transfers directly to whichever circuit you end up running.
Is this the same as a simulator at a dealership or entertainment venue?
No. Those are demos. This is a direct-drive rig with a load-cell brake and full telemetry capture, with a coach reading your inputs lap by lap. Different equipment, different purpose.
Is there a racing simulator near Palm Beach Gardens?
Yes. Sim to Grid is in Stuart, about 35 minutes south from Palm Beach Gardens, at 8010 SW Jack James Drive. We run a professional direct-drive racing simulator with live-telemetry coaching - the closest real sim racing to Palm Beach Gardens and Palm Beach County.
How much does it cost?
Sim rental is $40 for 30 minutes, $70 for an hour, $130 for two hours. With a coach it's $150 for an hour or $250 for two. On-track coaching, car rental and setup are quoted per event.
Do you coach Palm Beach Gardens drivers on real tracks?
Yes. Simulator work happens in Stuart; on-track coaching runs at Sebring International Raceway, Homestead-Miami Speedway, Daytona and karting facilities across the region. We prep you on the sim, then go to the track.

We coach drivers from six years old through professional racers. Junior karting families from Palm Beach Gardens are some of our most regular visitors.
