The Ferrari World Esports Arena introduces a groundbreaking concept that reimagines entertainment at theme parks. It’s not your typical ride, show, or gaming zone it’s a dynamic, live experience where guests take centre stage as competitors, the audience fuels the thrill and the boundaries between real and virtual collide in a pulse-pounding fusion of speed, light and sound.
The moment guests step into the arena; they’re dropped straight into the heart of a Ferrari racing universe. At the core of the experience are 20 Gran Turismo simulators, 14 designed for adults and 6 for younger racers.
All sleek, streamlined and ready to transport players to legendary circuits around the world from Monza to Yas Marina, the arena rotates through nine world-class tracks, with a new circuit added monthly to keep the challenge fresh and competitive.
And then there are the motion base F1 simulators - the stars of the show. Realistic, reactive and fitted with custom-built F1 steering wheels, they offer a thrill so close to the real thing. Once the race begins, guests are no longer in a simulator, they are transported to the cockpit of a Ferrari, with turns with the roar of a 180-degree LED screen surrounding them.
But what truly makes this experience innovative is its live competitive edge. A central stage setup allows up to 14 players to race head-to-head, with HD LED displays broadcasting every overtake, every turn and every dramatic comeback. The result? A full-on spectator experience that turns a game into a shared event, part motorsport and part digital gaming.
And yet, the magic of the Ferrari World Esports Arena isn’t just in the hardware. It’s in its soul, in the accessibility, the community and the inclusivity driving every detail. Two of the simulators are custom designed for People of Determination, ensuring that the thrill of racing is open to all. Kids race alongside parents; pros challenge rookies and strangers cheer each other on like lifelong fans – an attraction where the audience has just as much fun as the participants.
The arena doesn’t just host casual racers, it’s already made waves on the global esports’ scene. In December 2024, the arena was the proud stage for the Ferrari HP Esports Series finale, a championship event that crowned its winner in front of a live audience and marked a major milestone for competitive gaming in the region
The Ferrari World Esports Arena is more than just a ride, it’s a destination in its own right. Purpose-built for the next generation of fans, it reimagines what a ride can be: interactive, inclusive, and entirely unforgettable. The park invites every guest - whether a motorsport enthusiast, gamer, or first-time visitor to step into the world of Ferrari racing and take control.
