Sim racing booking software
that fills empty bays.
Real-time bay availability, member self-service booking, automated reminders, and waitlists — built specifically for simulator rental facilities, not adapted from a generic appointment tool.
No signup required for the demo. Setup takes 2-5 business days.
The booking engine,
top to bottom.
Live rig schedule, today's run, walk-in board, and the revenue chart that runs the floor — the same booking engine, from four angles.
Why generic booking tools
break at sim racing facilities.
Tools like Calendly, Square Appointments, and Acuity were built for hairdressers and dentists. They model a single resource and a single price. That breaks the moment you have four bays, three membership tiers, and a 10-session package to track.
Spreadsheets get you to your first month. By month three, you're double-booking, missing renewals, and chasing payment by SMS. Members notice. Bookings drop.
GTLane's booking engine models the things sim racing facilities actually have: bays, tiered members, packages, blackout windows, and waitlists. Members self-serve. Staff stop being the booking system.
What spreadsheets can't do
- Show members live availability without staff intervention
- Auto-deduct sessions from a multi-session package
- Notify the next person on the waitlist when a slot opens
- Apply tier-based pricing automatically at checkout
- Block out a single bay for maintenance without taking the whole site down
From browse to booked in
under a minute.
Member sees live availability
On your branded booking page, members pick a bay and a time slot. Availability updates in real time as other people book.
Books and pays in one flow
Stripe handles payment. The booking lands directly in your dashboard. Confirmation goes out automatically.
Automated reminders fire
A reminder hits their inbox 24 hours and 1 hour before the session. Fewer no-shows, fuller bays.
Everything the booking engine
does for you.
Real-time bay availability
Members see live slot availability across every simulator. No double bookings, no phone tag.
Multi-bay calendar view
Manage every booking across every bay from a single calendar. Drag-and-drop reschedules. Color-coded by member tier.
Smart reminders & waitlists
Automated email reminders before each session. When a slot opens up, the next person on the waitlist gets first refusal.
Package bookings
Sell 5- and 10-session packages. Sessions deduct automatically as members book — no manual tracking.
Blackout date management
Block dates for maintenance, private events, or staff training. Members never see slots you can't fulfil.
Member self-service
Members log in, book, reschedule, and pay without staff involvement. Your team focuses on the experience, not the front desk.
Built for sim racing,
not adapted.
