1.How do racing simulators work?
A racing simulator takes the idea of driving a racingcar to a much more in-depth and serious level. A basic simulator are equipped with a screen, steering wheel, pedals and a seat. This gives some feeling of driving a car.
The highest level of a racing simulator is the Racemore models, which are full-motion which creates g-force and movement in all directions. It is designed to mediate such as tyre grip, traction, suspension, aerodynamics and more, a simulator creates the most accurate representation of driving dynamics possible. All in all, This creates an outstanding feeling of driving a race car at high speed.
2.Why a Full Motion Simulator?
In all sorts of motorsport or track day training, a full-motion 6 DOF (Degrees of Freedom) simulator outshines stationary and 3-4 DOF simulators by offering a more realistic replication of driving dynamics. Its ability to simulate pitch, roll, yaw, as well as surge, sway, and heave motions provides a holistic experience close to real driving conditions. The use of a full motion simulator enables drivers to develop crucial skills in vehicle control and reflexes preparing them for the unpredictable challenges of driving. In a few words, a 6 DOF full motion simulator gives you a better feeling.
3.Where can I have a test drive?
We are always traveling and showing our simulators but we don’t have demo machines in all countries. We have simulators for testing in Europe, the US, and the Middle East. In Sweden, we also have a dealer close to the Airport in Stockholm. Just get in touch with our sales manager for the booking of your test drive.
4.Are there different models of the simulators?
Yes, there are different models, but first. The performance is the same in all simulators and you can drive all types of motorsport in all our models.
Formula 600 is the perfect simulator if you like driving in the position of a formula driver. GT 600 is better if you are sitting in the same position as in a race or rally car.
5.I have my own homebuilt rig but now I want a motion simulator? Will a Racemore be the right machine for me?
The Racemore are built to highest standard both for exclusivity but even more important, to give the driver the real stuff of feeling speed and movement when driving racing cars. The fullmotion feeling is outstanding, and it will take you to new levels of high-speed driving.
6.Do I need to pay the full amount in advance?
No, you pay 10% to commit the order, then 30% when your configuation with colour, seat and other stuff are made, then you full payment in moment before shipping to you.
7.How does buying a racing simulator work?
When you and our sales team have decided which design and which accessories your simulator should have, you pay a down payment. After that, production starts and racemore builds the simulator according to the specified spec. The software from the PC games will be downloaded depending on what type of motorsport you will drive. The simulator will be delivered to you, plug and play ready.
8.How many cars and tracks does the simulator come with?
We deliver the Racemore simulator ready-to-drive. When we say ready-to-drive it means the simulators high-performance computer, the motion system and the motion interface are installed. The only thing you do is chose your favourite game and install it by the publishers manual.
Today it is an almost limitless catalog of racing games at this point. The fact is, there is more content these days than could ever be loaded on a single simulator.

11.Does Racemore simulators improve reflexes?
Yes. We belive in the philosophy of 10 000 hours. The more you drive, the better you manage in the racetrack. The reflexes, eye calculation, racing strategy, checking rearview mirrors, test overtakes … by driving hours for hours, you will end in the professional seat ! (if not already!). To do the training in a fullmotion simulator gives you a result that can never be achieved in a stationary simulator. In a fullmotion simulator, you feel the slightest change in tire grip and you feel the cars movements throughout the body. This is what we call racing.
12.Why do your simulators have a serial number (VIN) ?
We produce every Racemore simulator as a car, it is all built by your choice! That is why, we don’t produce for stock, every Racemore is an experience machine with an individual serial number. The serial number are a 15 character VIN-number (system from car industry).
This number serves as the simulators fingerprint, as no two machines in operation have the same serial number. By this identification we can track when and where it was built, in which factory, the data specs, mechanical identity and subdelivers to the simulator. By the number we also internally can identify the colour number.
13.Do you offer finance agreements?
Yes we do. Please contact our sale departement. We offer a lease with a basic payment, then a monthly cost 24-48 months and after that period a final payment.
14.How to use telemetry data?
Everything in a racing car is tracked in special data boxes. The speed, gear data, breaking, G-forces in all directions, traction, temperatures and pressure in tires, engine, gearbox, just to mention a few of the data sensors. After a training session, the driver sits down with his coach and technical staff and analyze every lap. In some of the racing games this feature are included, check specifications for your game (iRacing/rFactor includes the feature).
