This racing simulator is well worth its $50,000 starting price, as pro-racers agree it’s as close to motorsport as you can get without burning rubber.

You can choose from a range of pre-programmed motorsports including racing, rally, or anything else.

And with professional rally and racing drivers agreeing that the Racemore racing simulator feels up to 90 percent like the real car, it’s set to shake up the world of motorsport gaming.

The racing simulator design

With a full display complete with a rev meter, pedals, gears, and handbrake for rally driving – Racemore is the closest to feeling like you’re in a race car that gaming can get you.

The visible computer below the seat showcases the groundbreaking tech.

With each unit handmade in Sweden, this is all about player comfort and attention to detail.

You can opt for a wheel of your choice and an adjustable seat in a bespoke shade of carbon fiber, Alcantara, leather, or other luxury materials to match your supercar, home, or team.

The high-performance computer can be used with any PC-based driving game, including Asseto Corsa Competizione, iRacing, Dirt 2.0, Richard Burns, F1, and Kart Kraft.

The story behind Racemore racing simulator

Swedish entrepreneur Fredrik Axelsson had an unquenchable passion for cars and motorsport.

But a stunning sports car in his garage and sponsoring Swedish Championship Rallycross driver Gustav Johansson just wasn’t enough.

When he saw Johansson’s homemade simulator, which he used for training, Fredrik decided to build one for himself—and he wanted it to match his supercar.

So, the pair pooled their expertise in engineering, software development, cars and motorsport to found Racemore in 2022.

As well as Sweden, units are now being shipped to Saudi Arabia, the USA and all over the globe.

What pro-racers have to say

The Scandinavian racing and rally team use the GT 600 model for practice.

That’s because the full-motion simulator – whether a pro-racer or gamer is in charge it’s able to simulate pitch, roll, and yaw, as well as surge, sway, and heave motions.

This holistic experience ‘six degrees of freedom simulator’ uses six motors to control the heavily oversized actuators.

It outshines stationary and 3-4 DOF simulators, offering a more realistic replication of driving dynamics.

Despite its compact design, it can help users develop crucial skills, control, and reflexes as drivers regardless of whether they’re spending any time on the track.

The models

The GT 600 base model works best for those who want to drive rally, rallycross, or drifting.

At the other end of the range, the custom Formula 600-C is completely bespoke, allowing gamers to match the racing simulator to their supercar via paintwork, leather or Alcantara upholstery on the seat and the shape of the steering wheel.

With 32″ screens and an impressive sound system – if that doesn’t get your proverbial engine revving we aren’t sure what will.
