This is a strong signal of the industry’s continued growth, and the variety of simulations present at SimRacing Expo across cars, motorcycles and flight simulators. This momentum is also reflected in the way hardware and software manufacturers are increasingly coordinating the reveal of their latest products live on our stage during Premiere Friday, presenting their premieres to a global audience. This underlines the SimRacing Expo’s growing role as a launch platform for new technologies and innovations within the industry. We are also seeing this momentum reflected in the calibre of companies joining us, including RECAROwith Manthey Motorsport, and Porsche Motorsport. Their presence highlights the growing connection between real-world motorsport and sim racing, with brands looking to bring the stories, expertise, and excitement of real-world racing into the virtual environment and vice versa.
Finally, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to KUNOS Simulazioni, 505 Games, and Digital Bros for continuing our collaboration for the third consecutive year.
