  • Stuart Mclaren

    Professional Driver - ARDS & BARS Driver Coach

    “Had a fantastic day @classicracesim today checking out their top-class SIMs and practicing some laps. Thank you guys so much, for the warmest of welcomes and well done on your fantastic simulators"




  • Adrian Russell

    Historic Formula Junior Driver

    “When I decided to complete in the Lurani Trophy, it's all foreign circuits and I'd never been to any of the tracks before. The sim has been an absolute godsend! I can't imagine what it would have been without it — turning up at a circuit that you've never raced at before with limited testing time, it's very dangerous and can be a bit of a wasted journey so the sim to me has been an absolute godsend."

  • Luka N.

    Enthusiast

    "If you want to sit in a historic Lotus 49 Formula 1 car and drive it around Spa, Monaco and Silverstone all in one afternoon - Jim Hill can make that happen for you. Motorsport is unquestionably an expensive hobby, but the simulators Jim makes give you the best ROI possible. Being able to race any track, anywhere in the world within a few clicks is just unbelievably valuable."

we take you through the process, step by step

Starting with an initial call and testing session with Jim, we guide you through the process of setting up your race simulator to meet your needs.


We do limited runs, making sure every clients project gets the attention it deserves.

best-in-class racing components

We’ve tried everything on the market & make our own pedals and shifters due to nothing meeting our high requirements.


The pedals and wheelbase are arguably the most important components within a rig - but we take things further by using the very best components on the market & adding base shakers (transducers) to replicate the feel of the track and give you precise feedback from your car.

25Nm Direct Drive Steering motor

We always use a 25Nm Direct Drive steering motor to give you the best fidelity & feedback along with pre-programmed tuned settings for the type of race car you are driving.

Wheel Rim

Classic lotus, Momo, GT3 wheel with shifters and dual clutch - you name it, we’ve supplied it. All wheels come with high-end quick release systems to allow you to change configurations to match the car you're driving.

OBP or Zenith Precision Pedals

Ask any experienced simracer which high-end component shaves off the most time and they’ll all tell you — the pedals. Our hydraulic brake pedals with pressure sensor will enable you to threshold and trail brake with a feel of a true race car system.

Zenith Precision H-Pattern Shifter

Most gear shifts on the market are much larger and heavier than in original race cars. We have spent over 2 years developing our gear shifter to be light, small and capable of adjustment from a “tight” modern box to the “long throw” examples from the 1950’s.

Seat

You can choose from Formula, GT or Kart seats that emulates your driving position and gives you the comfort required for extended race sessions & replicate the seating position of your car if required.

Next-level immersion with bass-shakers & wind-sim

We’ve developed our own stereo bass-shaker system that delivers the feel of every gear change, rumble strip and clash with competitors on the track. Additionally, we have developed and built our own system with dual fan outputs to create the true feeling of speed (and keep you cool).

Step 3

high-end simulator pc & software

Most commonly used by Formula 1 teams themselves — We install rFactor2 for all our clients. This has been our “go to” software for over 7 years.


rFactor 2 is probably the most realistic game you can get today in terms of physics, and it earns our vote as the best simulation game available. It’s known for it’s accurate replication of how tyres feel in terms of grip, how it relays force feedback to your steering wheel and features many laser scanned tracks from around the world.

Choose between

Triple Monitors

Wrap around screens available in multiple sizes. 27" for more compact spaces, 32" for our standard Zenith setup & 40"+ for ultimate immersion.

Virtual Reality (VR) Headset

Unrivalled depth perception and spatial awareness with our best-in-class VR headsets. When combined with our wind simulators it really does feel like you're there.

Installation & on-going support

We pack and ship the simulator to your door, anywhere in the world & provide ongoing support for all of our customers.

1

Unlimited track time

Track days in person cost time, tyres, fuel, hotels & travel — with our simulators you're at the track in the click of a button & there's no queueing or time limits. It's truly unlimited.

2

Test new set-ups

Our simulation software is so precise that you can adjust gear ratios, brake bias, suspension and more in the simulator and then carry those settings through to real life.

3

Perform at your best

Even the fastest drivers can have a hard time performing when driving a new track for the first time. By getting laps in on the simulator you build valuable experience that crosses into real life performance.
