Sprint Social | Your New After-Work Activity

Your New After-Work Activity | Sprint Social

The clock strikes five, the laptops close, and the same question starts to circle through the office and the group chats: "What are we doing tonight?" For too long, the answer has been a rotation of something predictably familiar. Happy hour at the same bar, a pub quiz night where you argue about the capital of a country you've never heard of, or maybe (if you’re feeling adventurous) an escape room.

It's time for a shift, and after-work activities don't have to be routine. They can be thrilling, energising, and something to look forward to at the end of a long week. If you're looking for fun after-work activities, social events near you, or ways to meet new people, F1® Arcade is redefining what a night out can look like.

Welcome to Sprint Social at F1® Arcade, a weekly event that transforms your night out into a thrilling racing experience. Unwind, connect, and compete with mates, new or old.

What is Sprint Social?

Sprint Social isn't your average evening plan, it's the ultimate social activity, serving up 90 minutes of hosted, tournament-style racing (followed by free-play laps), flatbreads, and bragging rights, for just £25. Race every Tuesday from 6PM to 9PM in Birmingham, or every Tuesday from 7.30PM to 10.30PM in London. Make sure you don't miss out on:

90 Minutes of High-Stakes Tournament Racing

We're talking more than a few laps here. Get 90 minutes of hosted, tournament-style racing before free play kicks in, going head-to-head against your friends, coworkers, or total strangers who might just end up in your happy hour group chat next week.

Unlimited Gourmet Flatbreads & a Free Drink

We keep the laps fast and the flatbreads flowing, sharing-style, with options to suit every dietary need, including gluten-free and vegan. Every racer also gets a free welcome drink (beer, wine, or a soft drink) to kick things off.

How it Works

Picture this: you’ve clocked out, left your stress at your desk, and now you’re stepping into a venue bursting with energy. You check in and hear the low hum of racing simulators revving in the background. Enter the Gridmaster, who lays out the game plan for the night and gets your crew ready to trade spreadsheets for speed. Before you know it, you’re behind the wheel of a world-class simulator, racing side by side with your friends like your Mario Kart skills suddenly got a glow-up.

Free play eventually flips into a team tournament, and suddenly your coworkers-turned-teammates are screaming like it’s the actual Grand Prix. There’s also time to mingle at our stunning bar, grab a signature cocktail (we recommend our “Pole Position”), and cheer on your friends (or rivals) as their races are broadcast on massive screens throughout the venue.

Who’s the Gridmaster?

The Gridmaster will be your host for the evening. They’re the ones who welcome you in, lay out the game plan, and make sure the energy stays high from the first lap to the final showdown.

A Vibrant Social Event Atmosphere

Whether you're planning after-work activities for coworkers, trying to find fun after-work activities with friends, or just exploring ways to meet people, Sprint Social gives you the perfect blend of friendly competition and casual camaraderie. This isn't just another after-work hangout. It's the kind of night that ends up in group stories, inside jokes, and maybe even your Instagram bio.

Better Than Ordinary Group Activities

It’s a fun activity for adults that turns your competitive side into pure entertainment. You don’t need to be an F1® fanatic to enjoy it. What matters is the thrill of the moment, the laughter after a spin-out, and the shared celebration when someone clinches first place.

This is an ideal event for a group of friends wanting to switch up their social plans, or even individuals looking to meet new, like-minded people via a fun and social activity. If you’re wondering how to meet new people near you, this is how it happens naturally, without feeling forced, awkward, or overly structured. Take it one race at a time and on a weekly basis.
