In Calgary, TracksVR compresses the essentials of a race weekend into a single hour: warm-up laps on an oval, targeted practice on a road course, and a head-to-head sprint that lets you test setup and technique. It’s a high-fidelity, coached introduction that puts realistic simulator hardware, telemetry feedback, and a wide range of cars — including Formula options — at the center of the experience.
