Los Cristianos: 100% FullMotion SIMRACING for groups or individuals

You can race like an F1 driver. This FullMotion SIMRACING session in Los Cristianos gives you a full-motion FAST plus simulator plus the freedom to choose your Assetto Corsa car and track, with clear coaching to get you going. One thing to note up front, it is not suitable for children under 12.

I like that it is built for both first-timers and people who take lap times seriously. You drive in a safe, controlled setting, and you still get the adrenaline rush, then leave with your fastest lap and session times. The drawback is simple, you only have 25 minutes on the rig, so you will want to decide your track and car early.

Key Things To Know Before You Go

• Full-motion FAST plus simulation built for real race feel without real-world risk
• Pick your car and circuit from the Assetto Corsa catalog
• You get performance feedback with your fastest lap and session times
• Small-group setup with up to 6 participants at a time
• English, German, Polish, Spanish help at the center in Los Cristianos

Full-Motion F1-Style SIMRACING in Los Cristianos

Los Cristianos on Tenerife is not usually the first place you think of for racing, but that is exactly why this works. ARC Actoracer Canarias runs FullMotion SIMRACING that is serious about the driving feel, using a FAST plus full-motion setup that moves with you.

I love that it is positioned as an F1-style experience without the usual hassle. There is no racing suit fitting, no gear bags, no safety briefing theater. You show up, get set up, and you are racing in a way that is fun even if you are new to SIMRACING.

The other thing I like a lot is the vibe. The session is described as a safe and pleasant environment, and the reviews back that up with praise for friendly, helpful operators. It sounds like the kind of place where staff actually want you to do well, not just “line up and go.”

Entering the Center and Getting Set Up for Your Race

When you arrive in Los Cristianos, the staff sets up a Full Motion FAST plus simulator specifically for your session. Initial settings and instructions are included, so you are not left guessing how to drive, how to start a session, or what your options mean.

That matters more than people think. SIM racing has a learning curve, and the difference between a good first run and a frustrating one is usually whether someone helps you get the basics right quickly. Here, they walk you through the setup before your driving time begins.

And you set the limits. That phrase may sound marketing-y, but the practical meaning is clear: you choose what you race, and you control the session you want to run. If you want a calmer drive, you have options. If you want maximum intensity, you can push toward that too.

Choosing Your Car and Track in Assetto Corsa

This is one of the most valuable parts of the experience, because it turns a generic “ride the simulator” stop into a personal race. You pick the circuit and the car you like from the Assetto Corsa catalog.

I love that choice because it lets you aim the experience at your interests. If you have a favorite track, you can test how it feels at speed. If you have a particular type of car you enjoy in racing games, you can focus your session around that.

One small caution: take a minute to decide before you start. With only 25 minutes in the simulator, you do not want to burn your best time wandering through options. The upside is that once you commit, the whole session becomes about driving and improving your fastest lap, not about menu navigation.

Your 25 Minutes on the Simulator: What You’re Really Buying

The core driving window is 25 minutes on the simulator. That is the heart of the value, because that time is long enough to learn the controls, find your rhythm, and still have enough runs to chase one standout lap.

You are set up to drive as many laps as you can in that window on your chosen track and car. You will receive your fastest lap and your session times, which gives you something concrete to take home. That feedback turns the experience from pure adrenaline into a mini time trial, even if you do not consider yourself a “racer.”

Here is the practical way to think about it: you are not trying to master a full race weekend. You are trying to get that first true lap, then build on it. If you treat it like a sprint, you will get more satisfaction out of the session.

Also, this is full-motion. The point is to feel connected to the car. When you hit a brake point or get through a corner, the simulator response is part of the thrill. It is not just watching a screen, your body gets cues from the machine, and that helps you stay locked in.

Why This Is a Big Deal for F1 Fans (and Not Just Gamers)

The listing pitch is that it is the only F1 simulation center in the Canary Islands, and that is the kind of detail that changes who should book. If you are an F1 fan, you might not care about every racing sim feature, but you will care about the idea of driving something that feels like an F1 session.

At the same time, you do not need to be a hardcore SIM person. The center provides instructions, and the session is designed to be safe and pleasant. That makes it a fun “race day” activity for adults who want something different than beaches and viewpoints, while still feeling doable.

If you already love sim racing, you might enjoy it even more. The reviews specifically mention state-of-the-art full-motion simulators and the ability to choose level of difficulty, track, and car. That combination matters: difficulty settings let you tune the challenge, so the session can fit your skill level.

The bottom line: you get the adrenaline and the feedback, without the pressure of real motorsport.

Groups, Celebrations, and Multiple Simulators for Friends

This experience works for solo drivers, but it also clearly caters to groups. There can be up to 6 simulators available for friends or special celebrations, and small group size is limited to 6 participants.

If you are planning a group outing, this setup is practical. You can keep it social without turning it into chaos. Each person gets their own session time on a full-motion rig, which also makes it easier to share the excitement without stepping on each other’s driving.

It also sounds friendly for repeat visits, because the core loop is flexible. You can come back and race a different combination of car and track. That turns the activity from a one-off thrill into something you can vary.

If you are a Tenerife resident, the center mentions special events. That is worth keeping in mind if you live on the island and want something race-themed that feels closer to a local activity than a generic tourist stop.

Price and Value: What $26 Buys You

The price is listed as $26 per person for 15 to 30 minutes total, with 25 minutes spent on the simulator. For most people, the value question is not about whether the price is high or low. It is whether you are paying for actual driving time, good setup, and clear performance feedback.

Here, you do get those three essentials:

• 25 minutes of real simulator time
• Initial settings and instructions included, which helps you get started faster
• Fastest lap and session times so you leave with numbers, not just memories

What is not included is also important. The session does not include use of PRO (XTRON) or EXPERT (ULTIMATE) simulators because those have different prices. So if you are comparing this to other SIM centers, make sure you are comparing similar simulator tiers. If you only want the FAST plus experience, the listed price likely feels fair for what you get.

Who Should Book, and Who Might Want to Skip It

This is a great fit if you want a high-energy activity that feels techy but still straightforward. You like driving games, racing culture, or just activities where you can measure improvement in the moment.

It also works well if you want something indoor that still feels physical. Full-motion rigs make it feel less like sitting and more like participating. For people who get bored with passive sightseeing, this is a nice change of pace.

You may want to skip or think twice if:

• You are traveling with kids under 12, since it is not suitable for them
• You want a longer session where you can fully practice multiple setups, because your simulator time is capped at 25 minutes
• You are expecting PRO or EXPERT simulator tiers included in the base price, since those are not part of this option
