Dallas (KDAF) – Racing enthusiasts and those looking for a new night out or daytime experience have a new destination in Dallas. Velocity Sim Racing Lounge, a Texas-exclusive hospitality concept combining advanced racing simulators, chef-driven dining and nightlife, is now open at The Hill at 9830 N. Central Expressway. Founded by Viet Tran, Velocity is designed to offer more than a traditional racing simulator experience. The Dallas location features more than 30 racing rigs, ranging from setups designed for beginners to advanced equipment for experienced racers. It’s the largest sim racing destination in Texas. “We have different levels of racing rigs from first-time racer to wanting to race like the pros,” said Viet Tran, founder of Velocity. “Each rig has a unique feeling and real-life accelerating feeling of being on the racetrack.” The experience also allows guests to watch friends race in real time on a large format TV wall or gather around the central bar for food, cocktails and watch parties. Tran said Dallas was a natural choice for the company’s second location. “We love the car community and family-focused community here in Dallas and want to be able to cater to both,” Tran said. The Dallas location also puts a major emphasis on its culinary program, offering a globally inspired menu designed to complement the racing experience. Guests can choose from shareable appetizers, entrees, handhelds and desserts. Favorites include the warm feta dip, Mediterranean steak tacos, apple turnovers, cauliflower wings and crispy avocado tacos. Velocity also is looking to become part of the Dallas community through events and programming. That includes girls’ nights, watch parties and other opportunities for guests to socialize beyond the racing. Tran said the goal is to make Velocity a place where people can come together whether they are serious racing fans or simply
