Since 2008, we have been collaborating with both professional and amateur race car drivers to develop SimCraft motion technology. These years of extensive collaboration with competitive drivers have resulted in racing simulators that truly feel like authentic racing experiences.

What the Pros Say: Real Testimonials from Champion Drivers

SimCraft’s racing simulators have garnered high praise from numerous professional drivers for their exceptional realism and effectiveness in driver development. Seven-time NASCAR Cup Champion Jimmie Johnson expressed his amazement at the authentic feel of the SimCraft APEX6, noting its unparalleled realism compared to other simulators. Similarly, IndyCar Champion Ryan Hunter-Reay emphasized the unmatched motion options, customizable features, and robust build of his personal SimCraft simulator, which he actively uses to prepare for IndyCar and IMSA competitions. Three-time IMSA Champion Jordan Taylor highlighted the APEX6’s ability to provide pure driving feedback, essential for both drivers and engineers. Champ Car Series Champion Paul Tracy shared that his SimCraft simulator has kept his driving skills sharp and allowed him to engage with the new generation of racers since his retirement. These testimonials underscore SimCraft’s commitment to delivering top-tier simulation experiences that meet the rigorous demands of professional racing.

After experiencing the SimCraft APEX6, I was amazed by its realistic feel and immediately knew I was hooked. I was even left wondering how such authenticity was achieved, given that nothing else I've tried can match the real-world vehicle experience, regardless of price. SimCraft takes driver training and vehicle development to an entirely new level.

As a professional athlete it is always difficult to stay at the top of your game. As a racecar driver it has become almost impossible with all the extreme limits on testing. There is only so much you can do in the gym. You need a real world interface to train and stay sharp. Now I train with the latest in state of the art technology and realism with SimCraft, it’s the precision of real driving technology.

In depth discussion with Scott Pruett about racing simulators
As an IndyCar driver who has spent endless hours in the very best professional racing simulators around the world, I am extremely picky and detail-oriented when it comes to my home simulator setup. For this reason, I chose SimCraft for my personal simulator, which I actively use in preparation for IndyCar and IMSA competition. The motion options, customizable features and robust build from SimCraft are unmatched in the industry.

Our SimCraft simulator is the best tool I have to get prepared for my race weekends. When we started racing in Europe in 2024, the sim was critical to get me up to speed quickly at many of these new circuits I had never been to before. Feeling every bump and curb in my APEX4 simulator makes me feel like I am actually there on the track! Amazing training tool that has been so valuable to my racing career so far.

SimCraft’s simulator is awesome—it feels just like being in a racecar! The way it moves and reacts helps me focus and improve, just like I am on the track.

SimCraft APEX Racing Simulators provide the best feedback and is the best representation of what we do as race car drivers in real life.

You can spend tens of millions of dollars on a driving simulator and you wouldn't even get what you get with a SimCraft APEX6. For me, it's the most pure thing you can find for a driver, it gives you everything you want from a driving perspective, the driving experience. Where as some of the other (simulators), they have tons of motion, they look fantastic, but they aren't giving the driver what they need to feel what the racecar is doing.

That's what the engineer needs, he needs that direct feedback that you are getting, and for me the SimCraft APEX6 is giving you exactly that.

Since retiring from full time racing in 2011, having my SimCraft has not only kept my driving and track knowledge sharp and track ready, it has also kept me in touch with the new generation of race drivers. To get online, get race ready, and play with these new guys is a lot of fun.

The SimCraft simulator is, by far, the most realistic simulator I have been in. I use mine regularly to prepare for upcoming events, and it has been spot on.

I have been in motion simulators before and they were not that accurate...and then I drove the SimCraft motion technology...it is second to none.

SimCraft is the most realistic simulation solution on the market. Not only is it a great training tool, but it’s incredibly fun, that’s the most important part. All of the controls feel super realistic and very connected to the software solutions. Having the unit at the race shop has been very valuable to our on-track performance.

There is no other race-day preparation better than my SimCraft sim time, period. Running a real car on a real track is extremely expensive and time consuming. Using my APEX6 machine, I get to learn a new track or refresh my memory of a familiar track. I get to dial in shifting, brake points, turn in points, apex timing, and real lap times for a specific car and tire.

For me, using my SimCraft before an event is equal to a half of running a real car at the actual track. Using this thought pattern, the APEX6 pays for itself within two races.

In recent years, as my racing career has expanded to global series, the SimCraft Apex6 has been instrumental in helping me get a feel for new tracks. This simulator has undoubtedly contributed to numerous pole positions, fastest laps, race wins, and even a GT3 Championship in 2024! The driver programming achievable with the fully immersive SimCraft Apex6 gives a distinct advantage. Bravo, SimCraft.

There is only one style of sim I can drive, it has to be a SimCraft APEX. SimCraft is the only sim I have driven where the motion feels natural, like driving a race car!

I used to strongly dislike sims until I drove an APEX6 from SimCraft, and before I finished my first lap, my opinion of sims completely changed. I had driven a couple before that moved the seat around and since my seat does not move around in my car, I found seat mover type sims unrealistic to drive.

As a professional driver and coach, having access to an Unlimited Seat Time Solution like SimCraft is invaluable. I'm able to keep my skills sharp daily and I highly recommend that all of my clients do the same thing.

I have spent years evaluating the best tools for performance enhancement, and nothing comes close to SimCraft’s racing simulators. Their motion technology delivers an experience that is so authentic, it replicates real-world racing down to the finest detail. The motion realism is unparalleled — it’s like being on the track, but from the comfort of your own space. Beyond the technology, their customer service is equally impressive; they stand behind their product with unwavering support.
