Race Sim Zone
An App for a Sim-Racing Lounge

The Starting Point:
Less Hassle for Customers and Staff

Race Sim Zone offers in-person sim racing on high-end simulators. Bookings and event registrations, however, were handled by hand: cumbersome for customers, lots of admin for staff. They needed a channel through which customers can get information, book sessions and join events without calling.

The task: an app for iOS and Android that becomes the racers’ first stop.

My Approach:
Keep the Three Main Paths Short

The app had to be simple enough that customers actually want to use it. So I focused on three flows: get information, book a slot, sign up for a race.

One Codebase for Both Platforms

With Ionic/Capacitor, I built the app for iOS and Android from a single codebase. That saves development time, and the app behaves the same on every device.

Simple Flows, Solid Backend

The interface is deliberately plain. Behind it sit a Strapi CMS and an SQLite database. The main features:

• Slot Booking A clear calendar view where customers reserve simulators.

• Event Registration One tap and you are signed up for the next race. No call, no email.

• Push Notifications from the Backend Staff trigger updates, reminders and offers directly from the Strapi backend. The lounge reaches its customers in real time.

The Result:
Book Instead of Call

Customers now have bookings and information on their phone. Staff have less admin and a direct line to the racers.

What this project shows about how I work:

• I understand what a service business with walk-in customers needs.
• I build cross-platform apps with Ionic/Capacitor.
• I connect mobile apps to a headless CMS such as Strapi, including push notifications.
