Nothing about the simulated Formula 1 car gives me pause until the “reverse” gear.
“What’s reverse for an F1 race?” I ask, settling into a seat at the new Formula 1 Arcade Las Vegas at the Forum Shops at Caesars. The space opens to the public Tuesday.
“It’s for when you hit the wall,” says Lizzie Norris, an expert on F1 experiences. “You’ll need to back out.”
There was no “if” about this. I soon learned why. I hit the wall in turn 12 times in three laps. On the third pass I spun into the pits, where the garage door slammed shut and the game shut down.
