Done a loop of Kathipara Urban Square and wondering what else is around? There's a sim racing lounge minutes from the junction: two proper racing seats, a wheel that fights back so you feel the road, and your lap times live on a big screen. We're in the SIDCO Industrial Estate in Guindy, close enough that it's the obvious add-on to anything you're already doing at Kathipara.
Kathipara sits where GST Road, Mount-Poonamallee Road and the Inner Ring Road meet, so we're a quick run from Alandur, St. Thomas Mount, Ekkatuthangal and Guindy station — and straight up GST Road from the airport.
Simulator gaming, not an arcade
These aren't coin-op cabinets. Force-feedback wheels, real pedals, a gearstick, and telemetry read straight out of the game. Closer to driving a car than anything else you'll find near Kathipara.
Indoors and walk-in
Air-conditioned, so the Chennai sun and the monsoon both stay outside. Scan the QR at the door and you're in a seat within minutes — no booking to plan around.

Had an amazing experience at Box Box Box F1 Car Sim! 🏎️🔥
The owner was extremely friendly and made the whole experience even better by patiently explaining how to play and helping me get comfortable with the setup. The simulator itself was awesome, especially the MOZA setup — the overall feel, feedback, and realism really made me feel like I was actually behind the wheel of an F1 car!
The adrenaline and immersive experience were fantastic. If you’re into F1, racing, or just looking for something exciting to try, I definitely recommend checking this place out. 🏁🔥
