# Honda’s Virtual Racing Theme Park Is Your Perfect Weekend Escapade

After spending the last few weeks at home [binging on all the good automotive and racing content](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/32624/what-are-the-best-car-shows-and-movies-to-binge-watch-in-quarantine>) the internet has to offer, you're probably willing to trade your six-year supply of toilet paper for something—*anything*—to occupy your attention. Fortunately, you needn't make such a trade, because Honda has launched a "[Virtual Motorsports Land](<https://global.honda/motorsports/virtualmsland/top-page.html>)" with many hours' worth of entertainment, all for the cost of *free* ninety-nine.

If racing is what you miss most about life without quarantine (and it probably is), and you're not averse to watching sim racing, the site's [Racing Zone](<https://global.honda/motorsports/virtualmsland/racing/top-page.html>) will stream replays of sim races in which Honda-backed racers have competed. Both closed- and open-wheel series are represented, by Esports WTCR and [Indycar](<https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/33170/f1s-lando-norris-comes-to-virtual-indycar-wins-from-pole>) respectively, and if you prefer fewer wheels on your racing vehicles, the site also has MotoGP on tap.

Should you prefer to design or build your own race cars, the [Fan Zone](<https://global.honda/motorsports/virtualmsland/fan/top-page.html>) features printable coloring sheets for Honda racing bikes and Formula 1 cars of yore, not to mention papercraft plans for recreating Honda-powered F1 cars from the 2019 season. Either can serve as a good distraction for you or your kids, which, as recent events have shown, [might start an auto theft ring if left unsupervised](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/33237/thieving-band-of-children-somehow-steal-46-cars-worth-1-1-million>). If all you need is something pretty to liven up your laptop or phone, hi-res wallpapers can also be found here.

But if these newfangled, 21st-century hobbies aren't your bottle of kombucha, you're still covered, because the [Heritage Zone](<https://global.honda/motorsports/virtualmsland/heritage/top-page.html>) boasts a wealth of information on the marque's more than 60 years of racing history. There's even [a virtual tour of the Honda Collection Hall](<https://www.honda.com/collection-hall-gallery>), which we'd imagine is mind-blowing with a [virtual reality](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/30103/watch-a-man-remotely-drive-an-rc-car-with-nearly-zero-latency-thanks-to-teleoperation-tech>) headset—not that you need such to experience it. A phone screen and your limb of choice should suffice.
