What Makes Virtex’s Simulator Unique

Motorsport teams today have no shortage of simulator options. From compact rigs to high-end facilities, the market is crowded. So what makes Virtex stand out? For CTO Fabian Bräu, the answer lies in the combination of technology, expertise, and execution.

“Our goal is perfection in everything we do,” Fabian says. “We want to deliver the absolute best simulator experience on the market.” That means building a simulator that is not just impressive to look at but genuinely useful to professional drivers and engineers in their daily work.

At Virtex, that usefulness comes from blending cutting-edge technology with deep knowledge of vehicle dynamics. Our vehicle models are physics-based but enhanced with AI methods, creating a digital twin of the car that continuously evolves with new data. The motion platform is built to F1-grade standards, delivering realistic feedback that translates directly to on-track performance. And the visuals and cueing algorithms ensure that the driver’s brain treats the simulator experience as it would real-world driving.

But technology alone is not enough.

“Behind the hardware and software is a highly skilled team,” Fabian explains. “We bring together expertise across simulation, motorsport, and AI, and that makes all the difference.” Virtex is not just a facility — it’s a group of specialists working hand-in-hand with teams to ensure every session delivers actionable insight.

The biggest challenge in building such a simulator is integration. A truly realistic simulator requires many specialised components — vehicle models, motion hardware, visuals, cueing algorithms — all working perfectly together. If even one of those falls short, the immersion breaks. Virtex’s strength is in making these systems function as a single, seamless environment.

The result is a simulator experience that is unmatched in quality, realism, and performance insight. For teams, that means more than just preparation. It means entering a race weekend with confidence that the work done in the simulator will translate directly onto the track.
