Questions

Do I need a membership to use the shop?

No. Memberships are optional — you can rent a lift bay, run the sims, or just hang out in the lounge without one. A membership is there to bring the hourly rate down and add perks if you come often.

When can I actually sign up?

Memberships go on sale when we open on Saturday, October 10th. Join the list below and we’ll email you before that happens, so you get first pick — particularly if you want one of the five Founders spots.

What is the difference between monthly and annual?

Annual bills once for the price of ten months, so you get two months free. The benefits are identical either way — it is purely how often you pay.

What makes Founders different?

Founders includes unlimited lift bay and sim racing time under a fair practice policy, a member locker, the longest booking window, and a shirt. Bay sessions run up to six hours when you book at least 30 days ahead, or three hours inside that — and anything longer is negotiable in the shop, depending on the day’s schedule. It is capped at five members and stays capped.

How does the points programme work?

Core and Premier members earn one point for every dollar spent on the site, including membership dues. Five hundred points is a free hour of bay or sim time, and points don’t expire. Founders don’t earn points — their tier already includes the time.

Can I bring my own tools and parts?

Yes. The bays are stocked so you don’t have to, but plenty of people bring a favourite tool or their own parts. Our full shop rules go up with the site at launch.

Get in early

Tell us which tier you’re leaning toward and we’ll email you before memberships open on Saturday, October 10th. No charge, no commitment — and Founders spots go to the list first.
