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.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
