167-TDS_Inside F1 Arcade, Character-Themed Scooters, and Arcade Monsters Expansion Ever dreamed of hitting the Formula 1 tracks without the risk of a real crash? We're taking you inside Boston's newest thrill, the F1 Arcade, where luxury meets velocity. Imagine the roar of hyper-realistic simulators beneath you as you sip on top-notch cocktails and savor gourmet bites without ever taking off your racing gloves. Our experience was nothing short of exhilarating, with adjustable difficulty ensuring everyone—from the racing rookies to the circuit veterans—gets a taste of the podium. Here's the kicker: they even bring the culinary delights to your simulator, so you never have to take a pit stop from the action. Switching lanes, we cruise through the whimsical world of motorized, character-themed rideables that are redefining city tours. Picture yourself zipping along the streets, ghost-hunting or taco-tasting, all while astride a scooter disguised as your favorite animal. We chat about the charm that these rideables are bringing to the streets of Phoenix and the potential they have to franchise the fun nationwide. No doubt, it's an adventure that beckons the young at heart, and we discuss how these vehicles are turning heads and making city explorations a magical affair. Lastly, the joystick juggernauts among us will revel in our exploration of Arcade Monsters' expansion throughout Florida. This is not just a gaming hub; it's a community where cosplay gets you a discount and every machine is set to free play. We mused over how this arcade renaissance is fostering a new type of camaraderie among gamers and non-gamers alike. Then we ventured into the future of interactive gaming arenas, dissecting how technology is melding with physical play to keep us coming back for more. You won't want to miss our insights on how these spaces could become the new frontier of fun. No guests joined us this time, but strap in for future episodes where we'll invite fellow aficionados to share their own electrifying stories!

🏁𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗶𝗺 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀!🏁 🚀 𝗙𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗰 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗽𝗶𝘁! It is pretty simple, looks light on weight and tries on the price - Fanatec launched its CSL Cockpit starting at 400€. This cockpit has been teased last year already during the CER WRC championship round (our team was on site), and the release came after some waves at the Fanatec headquarters. Indeed, historic CEO Thomas Jackermeier has been dismissed for what looks like financial management reasons. If the business is running well for the german brand, the cashflow seems to still be a struggle and banks have entered the scene. We'll see how it develops over time, but it shouldn't be a concern, more a market correction to a growing business that invested/spent too much at some point. 💼 🎮 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗵 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀!

Two weeks ago, Gran Turismo launched a collab with fashion brand Bareen. The collabs in merchandising is not a first for Gran Turismo, and this one find success. Everything was nearly sold out in 1 day, only trousers are available on the website.
