What We Make: Exsim's Racing Simulator Range
At Exsim, we focus on two main types of racing simulators: motion platforms and static rigs. Each does different things, suits different spaces, and serves different needs. Here's a quick look at both.

Motion Racing Simulators
Motion simulators are our commercial workhorses. These are the systems you'll find in sim racing venues, automotive showrooms, brand events, and anywhere physical impact matters.
The platform moves with what's happening on track, bbraking, acceleration, cornering. You don't just see it, you feel it. That physical element makes a real difference when you're trying to engage people who might never have tried sim racing before.
We design and build the motion platforms ourselves, which means we can focus on what actually matters in commercial settings: reliability, consistent performance, and handling daily use without breaking down.
Our VR5 motion simulator has been running in venues across the UK since 2017. It's been refined over the years based on real-world feedback from operators who use it day in, day out. We'll dive deeper into the VR5 in a future post.
Motion simulators are built for: Commercial venues, events, showrooms, anywhere you need memorable racing experiences for customers.
Static Racing Rigs
Static rigs strip away the motion platform and focus purely on driving precision.
For home setups, that's usually exactly what you want. A rigid frame, proper seating position, quality force feedback through the wheel, and consistent pedal response. No motion complexity, no special space requirements, just solid racing simulation.
Our static range uses robust aluminium frames that stay rock-solid under aggressive driving. That rigidity matters because it lets you feel everything through your wheel and pedals without the cockpit flexing or moving around.
These rigs fit normal spaces, a spare room, garage, or office. We assemble them as complete packages with components that work well together, so you're not figuring out compatibility on your own.
The TRK is our all-round static cockpit, built with the kind of precision and adjustability that serious home racers appreciate. More on that one later too.
Static rigs are built for: Home users, dedicated sim racers, anyone who wants serious driving without motion platform complexity.
Motion or Static?
It's straightforward:
If you're running a commercial space where engagement and physical impact matter, motion makes sense.
If you're building a home setup focused on driving precision and lap times, static typically fits better.
Both work brilliantly. They just work differently.

Welcome to Exsim: 15 Years of Racing Simulation Excellence
We've been designing racing simulators since 2009 because we care about one thing: authentic racing experiences. Not the flashy marketing stuff, the actual feeling of being in a proper cockpit, the precision when you hit the apex, and the reliability that lets you focus on driving.Fifteen years in, we've learned that good racing simulation isn't about cramming features. It's about understanding how people actually use these things. Whether you're chasing lap times at home, training real drivers, or running a commercial venue where the kit needs to work flawlessly every single day.
