About Race Line Social

Who We Are

Race Line Social is at the forefront of redefining motorsport entertainment. Nestled in the heart of Chicago, we're pioneering a unique space where passion for cars and the thrill of racing unite. Our mission? To create an immersive hub for motorsports enthusiasts of all levels, from beginners to seasoned pros.

What We Do

We bridge the virtual and real-world racing divide, offering an unparalleled sim racing experience. Our facility features state-of-the-art equipment, including the most popular sim racing software and meticulously selected wheels and pedals, ensuring authenticity and excitement. Whether it's navigating the twists and turns of the world's most popular racing tracks or competing in a friendly yet competitive environment, Race Line Social is the go-to destination.

Why We Exist

Our genesis was driven by a simple observation: unlike golf, which has seen a resurgence through venues like TopGolf, motorsport lacked an accessible, inclusive community hub. This realization sparked Race Line Social. We cater to everyone – whether you're looking to understand "how much is F1 arcade?" or diving into "your first sim racing setup". Here, sim racing isn't just worth it; it's a gateway to new skills, friendships, and real-world driving improvements.

Your Journey Starts Here

Getting started in sim racing might seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be. Our guides, facilities, and community are designed to make your transition into sim racing as smooth and enjoyable as possible. From selecting your first set of wheels and pedals to mastering the most popular tracks, Race Line Social is here to support every step of your racing journey.

Discover why our community keeps growing and why we’re considered one of the coolest sim racing facilities. Whether it’s for the thrill, the skill improvement, or simply the social atmosphere, find your place in the racing world with Race Line Social.

With a rich background in product development and technology, Justin brings a wealth of knowledge and a fresh perspective to the racing entertainment sector.

The spark for Race Line Social ignited from Justin's observation of a missing link in the motorsport world—a communal space that welcomes fans of all levels, much like the environments created for other sports enthusiasts. Motivated by this insight, he set out to create a concept that merges the thrill of sim racing with the warmth of community gathering, aiming to make the world of racing more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
