The Red bull eSports team will use the premises as a training center, and if needed as a competition room. The facility is yet to be named by fans who submitted over 4000 entries via a Red Bull Playseat competition.

The Team Manager has a Citrix data dashboard to his or her disposal in order to monitor training and events.
The competition area offers two Playseats rigs equipped with an AOC triple screen set-up and Fanatec direct-drive wheelbases. One of the rigs will features a full Fanatec drifting set up.
The console area, is a chillout zone where the Team can relax away from the virtual racetrack. The area is equipped with a 65” Philips OLED TV connected to a PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X console.
All the gaming is done from the comfort of two Playseat PUMA Active Gaming chairs. Soundwise, the room is fitted with a Sonos Arc with subwoofer and additional speaker setup for Dolby Atmos surround sound. This space will be up for hire during a select number of days each year.
