Apex One Westfield

“This was my first time at a simulator lounge. I can say that I was impressed with the vibe and look of the place. I attended a recent F1 Watch Party and the staff was super friendly. I will say that Seamus runs around to keep everyone happy and rectifies any issues should they come up. He walks around at the start of the simulator race sessions to ensure everyone is properly situated and resolves any questions should they come up mid-race. The current Simulator setups are phenomenal. I will 100% be in attendance at future events. I see that they host Time Attack Events which are super enticing as well. I personally am most excited to see the new rigs he gets as I attended during the transition period from the old motion rigs to the new motion rigs. Unfortunately, I am unable to speak on the motion rig quality but I look forward to it in January, I believe that is what Seamus mentioned. Regardless, it felt like what I believed a lounge of this sort should be. Great people, chill vibes, and nice aesthetics.”

“Had a great time celebrating a special occasion with my fiancé and a few friends. We booked a day pass and really got well worth our money for the entire day of fun we had. We are big F1 fans, and this was such a great experience. Special thanks to Hugo, who was not only accommodating for our many questions, but also very patient and helpful with first time drivers. Excited to come back once the upgrades are in to tryout, the new rigs!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3-Star Review Apex Lounge has a lot of potential, and overall the experience was solid - especially for my first time at a sim racing lounge. The race watch party was cool, the food was good, and it’s definitely a fun spot to watch people compete. A few of us got VIP tickets, so we were excited to actually race after the watch party. That said, the place felt like it was missing some engagement from the staff. For a setting that’s supposed to be high-energy and interactive, the staff seemed pretty uninvolved. Nobody was rude, it just felt like they weren’t really tuned in to the guests or the experience happening around them. At times I had questions or needed help, and workers said they’d check on something and never came back. The rigs themselves were temporary while they wait on new motion simulators, and you can tell. Some seats didn’t have sliders, some setups were uncomfortable, and one of my paddles kept sticking mid-race. I mentioned it and didn’t really get any follow-up. The other issue is that the timer starts running before you’re fully set up, so if the rig needs adjustments or troubleshooting, your actual track time gets eaten up. (They give you an extra 3-5mins to settling in and get set up) All in all, still a decent time - especially if you’ve never been to a sim lounge before - but a few things made it feel more “okay” than “great.” I’m giving it three stars for now. This might just be how these lounges generally run, so I’ll try a few more places and update this rating later if needed”
