Motorsport fans now have a chance to experience a professional racing simulator since Vortex Racing, a new business opened recently in Montreal, Quebec features eight Hexatech full motion driving simulators by Cruden.
“Six of our simulators are equipped with formula-style race car bodies while two ‘multipurpose' simulators will be designated for professional use,” Montreal entrepreneur and businessman, Mayer Soued, owner of Vortex Racing, told us.
“All simulators can be linked together and feature a variety of international race circuits and cars, allowing customers to progress up the ranks from Formula Ford 1600, to GP3, GP2 to Formula One”, he added.
“There a few simulation centres like this in Europe but Vortex Racing is the first one located in in North America. And we have the latest version of the software. For the more advanced drivers and the professionals, we can modify some 30 parameters of the car, such as tire pressure, wing angle, engine characteristics, height ride and more. We also record everything on a system that is similar to the data acquisition decide of the real cars. So once the run is done, we can provide real feedback to the driver,” Soued added.
Vortex Racing took delivery of eight latest-generation Cruden Hexatech full motion driving simulators.
The electromechanical, 6-DOF simulators are the exact same professional equipment that provide highly accurate force feedback and professional motion-cueing to racing drivers and engineers in F1 and other international motorsport championships for training, race car development and off-track testing.
The centre is conveniently located at the Lachine Business Park close to the Montreal-Trudeau airport where it is expected to attract leisure and corporate guests from the local area as well as professional racing drivers and race teams from a wider catchment.
“As a former ski racer I appreciate how hard it is to create that special zone of total concentration where the whole world ceases to exist. The Vortex Racing simulator centre will provide its guests with this unique sensation” Soued told us.
