VIRTEX and CURBSTONE Partner to Bridge the Gap Between Virtual and Real-World Testing

VIRTEX, a leader in high-fidelity motorsport simulation, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with CURBSTONE, a premium organiser of professional track days and test events. This collaboration integrates engineering-level virtual testing directly into the workflows of teams competing across single-seater, GT, and endurance racing.

The partnership marks another step in VIRTEX’s mission to open up F1-grade simulation technology to the wider motorsport ecosystem, allowing teams to complement on-track testing with structured, engineering-led virtual preparation. Teams competing in flagship series, including GT World Challenge, WEC, ELMS, DTM, GT Open and Formula racing can now approach preparation as a complete programme – combining real-world running with simulation-based setup development, driver training, and procedural testing, all aligned with their race calendar.

“Simulation has driven performance at the highest levels of motorsport for decades and VIRTEX is now bringing that edge to teams in every category,” says Julien Gillard, Founder & CEO of VIRTEX. “As a leading test day organiser, CURBSTONE understands the teams’ needs and delivers some of the best environments for on-track testing. This partnership allows us to expand our reach and bridge the gap between virtual and real-world testing, helping teams to arrive at the circuit better prepared, whether for a test or a race.”

Based in the heart of the Spa-Francorchamps paddock, VIRTEX provides teams with leading simulator technology, bespoke vehicle models, and high-definition track models of all major circuits. These solutions can be directly integrated within teams’ existing preparation processes and eliminate the need for in-house specialists or capital-heavy investments.

As a result, a simulator programme at VIRTEX acts as a rapid performance accelerator, providing teams with access to the data they need to win on track in just days instead of years.

For CURBSTONE, the alliance reinforces a commitment to providing clients with the most sophisticated technical support in the industry.

“At CURBSTONE, our ambition has always been to offer drivers and teams the most complete and relevant performance ecosystem possible for race testing,” says Ludovic Colman, General Manager of CURBSTONE. “By partnering with VIRTEX, we are integrating top-level simulation as a natural extension of our track activities. This allows our clients to prepare smarter, optimise their performance, and approach real-world testing with a higher level of confidence and efficiency.”

The partnership is now live, with CURBSTONE featuring VIRTEX simulation as a core component of its offering for upcoming single-seater, GT, and endurance programmes.
