Denver is getting a new place to put the pedal to the metal without actually leaving the city limits.
Peak Sim Racing is preparing to open at 1236 South Broadway this fall, bringing a 3,200-square-foot racing center to Denver designed for both seasoned motorsport enthusiasts and those looking to learn more about the sport.
For founder Eli Sevilla, however, the concept is about more than simply putting people behind a steering wheel. “So you should expect a nice friendly place where if you’re already an enthusiast of motorsports or just someone looking to learn, it’s a nice place to come hang out with people who are interested in similar things,” Sevilla said.
That community-first approach is at the heart of Peak Sim Racing, which describes itself as a place for Denver’s motorsport community to race, compete and connect. The space is being designed as a home base for people who already live and breathe racing, as well as newcomers who simply want to see what the experience is all about.
At the center of it all will be 12 racing simulators, split between two tiers: 10 standard setups and two premium setups. “They will all be motion full motion simulators,” Sevilla said. For anyone unfamiliar with what that means, the simulators are designed to physically respond to what’s happening on the virtual track.
“What that means is they’ll have four actuators, one on each corner, and every bump, crack, curve on the track, you’ll feel it in the sim,” Sevilla said. The simulators will also feature direct-drive wheels, load-cell pedals and full-motion systems, paired with wraparound screens, spatial audio and force feedback. Racers will be able to track lap times, sector splits and improvements from one session to the next, giving them something to chase each time they return.
While the technology is built to deliver a serious racing experience, Sevilla wants Peak Sim Racing to remain approachable.
No racing experience is required, and the business says its staff will help first-time visitors get set up and comfortable before they hit the track. That means someone who has spent years following motorsports can share the space with someone who has never driven a simulator before – and both can find a reason to come back.
Peak Sim Racing is also planning to accommodate private events, with the venue available for corporate gatherings, private parties and team experiences. For those who want to become part of the community before the doors open, Peak is offering a founding membership program capped at its first 100 members.
The first 10 founding members will receive three months of membership free, while members in positions 11 through 50 will receive one month free. All 100 founding members will also receive perks including a private pre-opening test session, founder merchandise, an invitation to the grand opening and priority booking.
Peak Sim Racing is currently targeting a fall 2026 opening, with the exact date still to be announced. The business is accepting names for its waitlist ahead of the launch. For Sevilla, the goal is ultimately to create a place where the racing doesn’t have to end when the session does, a space where enthusiasts can meet, newcomers can learn and Denver’s motorsport community can have a place to call home.
And if Sevilla’s description is anything to go by, the bumps, cracks and curves won’t just be something you see on screen. They’ll be something you feel.
