Virtex and AIX Racing Enter Technical Collaboration

Virtex is pleased to announce a technical collaboration with AIX Racing supporting their programmes in the FIA Formula 2 and Formula 3 Championships. The collaboration marks the start of a new era for AIX Racing, working together with Virtex's simulation solutions and expertise for their race preparation.

AIX Racing drivers and engineers work hand in hand with Virtex to run dedicated simulator sessions, combining setup development with detailed performance analysis on every track of the season. The work goes beyond session time: Virtex has developed high-fidelity vehicle models for AIX Racing, replicating the physical and functional behaviours of the cars down to all vehicle controls. The models will continue to be refined throughout the season through real-world data correlation, driving an ongoing evolution toward the most accurate digital representation of the car possible.

"Our experience with Virtex has been extremely positive," says Morne Reinecke, Team Principal of AIX Racing. "Our drivers immediately felt the realism the simulator provides, while our engineers have been able to extract meaningful data and refine setups in ways that simply aren't possible with limited track time. It has genuinely become an extension of our engineering group and a valuable performance tool for everyone involved."

"Working with AIX Racing is a natural fit for us," says Julien Gillard, Founder and CEO of Virtex. "Formula series are categories where the finer details of setup and preparation quality genuinely make a difference, and that's exactly where comprehensive simulator work has the most impact. We're thrilled to be a consistent part of their race weekend preparation process."

The collaboration begins this season, with both teams committed to developing the collaboration across the full campaign.
