G3 Game Carlton

G3 puts three racing simulators within a Carlton gaming venue: two static rigs and one motion platform. Choose a static rig if F1 25 is your priority. It also runs Assetto Corsa, with a Simagic Alpha EVO 12 Nm direct-drive wheelbase and a 55-inch screen. The motion rig costs more and adds movement under the seat, an Alpha EVO Pro 18 Nm wheelbase and three screens. It currently runs Assetto Corsa; F1 and iRacing are listed as coming later on that rig. Make the choice on the game and experience you want before reserving.

A static rig is A$35 for 30 minutes and the motion rig is A$60 for 30 minutes, per rig with GST included. Staff set up the seat and assists for your experience level, so a first visit can start with automatic gears and driving aids. Assetto Corsa runs across all three rigs, with Mount Panorama at Bathurst, Monza, Spa and the Nürburgring among the listed circuits. A short session is an easy indoor stop; a group can arrange all three machines on a private server for racing together. Give G3 at least two days’ notice for that setup and agree the track, cars and discounted group price by phone.

The venue opens every day from 10:00 until 02:00 the following morning. Walk in when a rig is free, or reserve the static or motion option online and pay at the venue. Go to 135–139 Leicester Street and check in at the front desk before driving. Children are welcome, but visitors under 15 must stay with a parent or guardian, and children using the motion rig need parental supervision. The racing seat, pedals and wheel still need to fit each guest: discuss reach and transfer assistance with staff before reserving. G3 does not allow alcohol on the premises, so make this a gaming stop before drinks elsewhere.
