The F1 Arcade is the second location in the U.S. to open an arcade in Washington, DC .

All 83 simulators inside this huge DC space are the same: an all-in-one machine built by a company called Vesaro .

It has a steering wheel and two pedals and a seat that rumbles and moves as your car does in the game.

The arcade rents simulators in 30- or 45-minute increments, the way you’d reserve a lane to bowl.

Each simulator has two ultrawide, 49-inch ROG Strix displays, stacked vertically in front of the seat.

There’s a huge, upscale bar, with a menu overseen by Lauren Paylor O’Brien , the champion of the first season of Netflix 's Drink Masters.
