About sml8r

sml8r.ai is an independent directory of every simulator experience center in the United States. We cover five verticals — racing, golf, flight, VR, and driving — with racing as the launch category.

We're built by simulator enthusiasts who were tired of Googling "sim racing near me" and getting nothing useful. There's no central listing for simulator experiences the way there is for restaurants, gyms, or concerts. sml8r fixes that.

The principles

• Directory first. The directory is the product. Blog, tiers, and advertising exist to feed value into the directory.
• Venue-neutral. Free listings are permanent. Paid tiers unlock more features, but don't change ranking.
• No visible favoritism. Every venue is treated equally in listing layout.
• Independent. No affiliations with any specific venue operator, hardware brand, or software platform.

Launch

We launch June 15, 2026, with ~95 racing centers across 50 US metros. Golf simulators (~500+ venues) follow later in 2026. Flight, VR, and driving round out 2027.
