Few people get a chance to wield a 1,000 horsepower engine. Formula One's new arcade in RiNo might be as close as most will get.

The big picture: The F1 Arcade Denver officially opens Sept. 10, but booking for one of its 69 state-of-the-art simulators is now live.

State of play: The arcade is capitalizing on a recent surge in popularity for the motorsport.

There are nearly 52 million fans in the U.S. alone, with many hooked by the popular Netflix show.

The vibe: Denver's 15,000-square-foot arcade includes an outdoor terrace and island bar. It will also host Formula One watch parties and private events.

How it works: The simulators feature dual screens — one showing the driver's perspective and the other a wide race view — plus a cockpit outfitted with a steering wheel with paddle shifters and racing pedals.

You can compete with two to four or more players, with five difficulty levels ranging from rookie to elite. Prices start at $22 per driver for three races.

Stop by: Denver's F1 Arcade is located at 2734 Walnut St.
