Los Cristianos: 100% FullMotion SIMRACING for groups or individuals

If you want adrenaline without the risk, this is it. In Los Cristianos, you get a FullMotion simulator session set up for you in a safe, fun space, and the center is often described as the only F1 simulation spot in the Canary Islands. It has the same big-race feeling, minus the headache of actually handling a real car at speed.

I especially like that you start with clear initial settings and instructions, so you are not left guessing what buttons do what. Then you get to choose your car, track, and difficulty, which makes it feel personal instead of like a one-size-fits-all ride.

The main drawback to plan around: the driving time is limited to a 25-minute session, so it is a hit of racing, not a long training block.

Key Highlights You’ll Notice Fast

• Only F1 simulation center in the Canary Islands: great if you want something that feels specific, not generic gaming.
• FullMotion FAST plus setup: the simulator moves to sell the sensation of speed and cornering.
• Pick your car and circuit: you choose from an Assetto Corsa catalog, not a fixed route.
• Difficulty and limits you control: you set the experience level before you chase your best lap.
• Fastest lap plus session times: you leave with real performance feedback, not just a memory.
• Small group scale (up to 6): more personal attention than huge, noisy attractions.

Arriving in Los Cristianos: Quick Setup, No Guesswork

This experience is based in Los Cristianos, Tenerife in the Canary Islands. You show up at the center, and they get the simulator ready for you, rather than handing you a screen and hoping you figure it out. That matters, because racing sims can be a little intimidating if you are new.

What I like about the setup is the rhythm: first you get your starting settings and guidance, then you move straight into choosing what you want to drive. It is practical and time-efficient, and it keeps the session from turning into a long wait.

Also, the team is used to mixed-language groups, with staff who can help in English, German, Polish, and Spanish. That is useful if your group has different comfort levels with the language.

Your 25-Minute Racing Session: What Happens After Setup

Once everything is configured, you get 25 minutes to run as many laps as you can on your selected circuit. You will feel like you are in qualifying-mode: the time pressure makes you focus, and the simulator motion adds stress to your decision-making in corners.

The experience is designed around a simple workflow:

1) They help you get started with initial settings and instructions

2) You pick your car and track (and difficulty)

3) You drive for a set session window

4) You get results like your fastest lap and session times

That last part is more valuable than it sounds. It turns the activity into something you can measure. You are not just hoping you did well; you can actually see how your best lap compared to your session overall.

Choosing Your Car and Circuit in Assetto Corsa

This is where you get to customize the day. You pick from an Assetto Corsa library, so you can select the car and track that matches your mood. Want something that feels like classic speed and slick cornering? Want a track that punishes late braking? The choice is yours.

I also like that the center does not treat this as “press start and go.” They include the initial settings, and they guide you through how the session works before you hit the track. For many people, that one detail is the difference between a fun try and a frustrating experience.

If your group includes people with different skills, the ability to choose difficulty level helps a lot. Everyone can aim for a good result without turning the session into a car-crash comedy show.

FullMotion FAST plus: The Point of Motion (and Why It Matters)

This experience uses a FullMotion FAST plus simulator. Even if you already play racing games, you might be surprised by how much physical motion changes the feel of braking, cornering, and weight transfer.

Here is the practical takeaway: the motion helps your brain understand what is happening, so you react faster and more naturally. In a normal racing game, you rely mostly on visuals and your hands. Here, you get added feedback from the platform movement, which makes it easier to stay focused on the racing line and timing.

They are careful about keeping it pleasant and safe, which is key. You are still in a simulator, so you can push toward your limits without worrying about real-world consequences.

Results You Can Actually Use: Fastest Lap and Session Times

At the end, you get your fastest lap and session times. That is not just trivia. It gives you a clean finish line and something to discuss after.

If you are going with friends, this is the fun part: you can compare tracks, cars, and difficulty settings. If you are returning to improve, it gives you a baseline to chase. You are not starting over with a blank slate each time.

It also makes the session feel more official. Racing is competitive by nature. Even in a simulator, performance data keeps it grounded.

Price and Value: Is $26 Worth It?

The price is $26 per person for a session, with total duration listed as 15 to 30 minutes and 25 minutes of simulator time. For what you are getting, that pricing can feel fair.

Why? Because you are paying for more than “use a game.” You are getting:

• a FullMotion FAST plus simulator session
• help with initial settings and instructions
• a controlled, timed run
• performance output (fastest lap and session times)

If you are traveling and you want one high-impact activity that is easy to schedule and does not require hours of training, this fits well. It is also a strong option for a group day where people want something that feels different from standard sightseeing.

One thing to note: the center mentions that PRO (XTRON) or EXPERT (ULTIMATE) simulators are not included. If you have your heart set on those higher-spec setups, you may need to budget differently.

Who This Works Best For (and Who Should Skip)

This is ideal if you want:

• a racing-style challenge without driving a real car
• a short, focused session you can fit into a Tenerife itinerary
• a way to choose your own car and circuit
• a group activity that stays structured (not a free-for-all)

It also suits people who like having a clear outcome. The simulator results make it feel real, even though it is entertainment.

But it is not suitable for children under 12, so keep that in mind when planning a family visit. If your group includes younger kids, you may want to split up activities or choose a different plan.

Small Groups and Celebrations: Up to 6 Simulators

The setup supports small groups, limited to 6 participants. If you go with friends or you are planning a celebration, the center notes that there are up to 6 simulators available, which means multiple people can race rather than waiting around all day.

That is a big deal for group energy. Nobody wants to spend a long time watching while they wait their turn, especially on a vacation.

If you are in Tenerife and want special events, the center specifically suggests letting them know so you can be added to resident-focused scheduling. If that applies to you, it is worth asking ahead of time.

Practical Tips Before You Sit Down

You do not need special motorsport knowledge to enjoy this. The key is to treat the session like a timed race, not a casual free-roam game.

A few things to do in your head before you start:

• Choose a car and track you actually want to drive, not just what sounds hardest
• If you are new, set difficulty so you can finish clean laps and focus on learning the feel
• Aim for steady improvement during the 25 minutes, since you do not have time for a full restart strategy

Also, because the staff can communicate in English, German, Polish, and Spanish, you can ask questions in whatever language you are most comfortable with. Getting your settings right early is the fastest path to a better session.

Should You Book This FullMotion SIMRACING Session?

Book it if you want a Tenerife activity that feels focused, modern, and genuinely fun. At $26 per person with 25 minutes of FullMotion FAST plus driving, you are getting a lot of excitement for a short window. The ability to pick your car, track, and difficulty (plus getting fastest lap and session times) makes it better than a generic attraction.

I would skip it only if you want something long and guided like a multi-hour training program, because the driving time is intentionally short. And if you are traveling with kids under 12, this one simply does not fit.

If you are the type who likes measurable results and a bit of healthy competition, this is an easy “yes.”
