Racing Simulator for Car Shows & Motorsport Events

Static displays are over. Let them drive. Real GT3 RS rig. 47 laser-scanned circuits. Real physics.

◆ Why it works

Static displays are over. The guests at your concours, your cars-and-coffee, your club track day can admire paint all day — but when they sit in a real Porsche GT3 RS bucket seat, put on a real motorsport helmet, and turn the first lap at Spa-Francorchamps, they're not looking at paint anymore.

The M1CR simulator is built for an automotive audience. This isn't an arcade machine; it's a precision engineering exercise. Force-feedback steering replicates real tyre slip. The Stage Five 6-DOF motion platform pitches under braking, rolls through a corner, launches under acceleration. Car people get it immediately.

47 real-world tracks, laser-scanned. Laguna Seca, Spa, Silverstone, Bathurst, the Nordschleife. Not approximations — the actual track geometry, cambers, and surface characteristics.

◆ Event types

Where we integrate at motorsport events.

Concours & car shows

From looking to driving. That's the upgrade.

The rig positions in pit lane, display court, or as a standalone activation within the show grounds. Guests who've just admired a 959 can then lap the Nürburgring in a 992 GT3 RS. The contrast between looking and doing is the entire value proposition.

Cars-and-coffee

The queue starts when the first leaderboard entry goes up.

A lightweight half-day format works perfectly for morning events. The rig opens as guests arrive, runs through the event, and clears out with the cars. Fastest lap competitions with prize integration are straightforward to run. The competitive dynamic raises the energy of the whole event.

Club days & track events

Sim laps while they wait for their on-track slot.

We've run alongside active on-track sessions. Guests without a run in the current session get simulator laps. Guests who are running use it for circuit familiarisation before their actual session. A race coach can debrief simulator telemetry the same way they'd debrief a real onboard.

Porsche marque events

The rig is a GT3 RS. The fit is obvious.

Porsche Club of America events, Porsche Drive activations, dealership launches and owner days. The rig is a Porsche GT3 RS concept: OEM bucket seat, Centre Lock wheels, GT3 RS bodywork. No explanation needed to a Porsche crowd.

Charity events & automotive galas

The simulator session is the auction lot that actually sells.

A dedicated session with a race coach and a certificate of performance is one of the most consistently successful charity auction lots we've seen. The winner gets something genuinely rare — not a gift basket. It works every time.

◆ What they're sitting in

Car-literate crowds ask questions. Here are the answers.

The chassis
Full Porsche GT3 RS concept build

OEM bucket seat. Centre Lock Porsche wheels on the surround. GT3 RS bodywork panels. Real interior materials.

The motion platform
Stage Five 6-DOF

Six degrees of freedom: heave, surge, sway, pitch, roll, yaw. All six axes operating in real time off the telemetry feed. Follows sim data, not a pre-programmed routine.

The wheel
Fanatec Podium GT3 RS — direct drive, 25Nm

The understeer wash when a front tyre locks is real. The kerb vibration through Eau Rouge is real. Car people immediately recognise what they're feeling.

The tracks
47 real-world circuits, laser-scanned

Laguna Seca. Spa-Francorchamps. Silverstone GP. Bathurst. Nürburgring Nordschleife. Not approximations — actual track geometry, cambers, and surface data.

The display
Triple 32" screens — 180° field of view

Wide enough to catch a following car in your mirrors. Optional motion-blur overlay for visual feedback. The visual field is the closest thing to a real cockpit without being one.

The timing
Live telemetry — live leaderboard output

Sector times, lap delta, best lap, overall ranking. All output to the leaderboard in real time. The competitive format is built in.

◆ FAQ

Motorsport event questions.

Can you run alongside a live track day?

Yes. We've integrated with live on-track sessions — sim laps for guests waiting, circuit familiarisation for drivers before their session, and telemetry debrief afterward. Provide us your run sheet and we'll coordinate accordingly.

What's the space requirement at a car show?

Approximately 6m × 8m including crew area and spectator space. For tight shows, 5m × 7m. Contact us with your site map and we'll confirm placement. See full rig specifications for the trailer dimensions.

Which tracks are available?

47+ real-world laser-scanned circuits: Laguna Seca, Spa-Francorchamps, Silverstone GP and National, Bathurst, Nürburgring Nordschleife and GP, Monza, Le Mans, Daytona, Sebring, Imola, Suzuka, and more. Every surface is laser-scanned — not approximated.

Can guests race head-to-head?

Sessions run one driver at a time for the full motion experience. Guests compete via the live leaderboard — best lap time across the event. For events requiring bracket-style knockout heats, contact us — we can configure a heat race format. Book here to discuss.

Do you work with Porsche Club events?

Yes. The rig is a Porsche GT3 RS concept — it's a native fit for PCA events, Porsche Drive activations, and dealership events. We've worked Porsche-aligned activations and are experienced with the PCA vendor process. Contact us to discuss pricing and partnership formats.
