• D-BOX becomes SimRacing Expo Charlotte and SimRacing Expo Frankfurt’s headline sponsor
• D-BOX will display its G5 and G3 actuator systems at the eNASCAR, Trak Racer and VRX booths

D-BOX is now SimRacing Expo’s headline sponsor, it has been announced.

The Canadian haptics specialists have entered into a partnership with SimRacing Expo Charlotte, which is set to take place from the 22nd to the 24th of May.

D-BOX manufactures a range of motion platforms ideally suited for sim racing, with oversteer, understeer and wheel locking aptly replicated through vibration-producing motors and actuators. Its products interpret telemetry data from sims, reproducing tactile sensations mimicking real-world racecar driving.

The firm, which was founded in 1998, also supplies cinemas with haptic products and plays a crucial role in training tools for the aeronautical, military and construction industries. 

In Charlotte, D-BOX’s range of haptic motion products will be showcased by fellow exhibitors like eNASCAR, Trak Racer and VRX, with the company’s G5 1.5-inch and G3 3-inch actuator systems on display. D-BOX is also the FIA’s official exclusive supplier of haptic systems.

“Sim racing has gotten incredibly advanced over the last few years,” said President and Chief Executive Officer of D-BOX, Naveen Prasad. “At this level, it’s not just about what you see anymore – it’s about what you feel, and that’s where things really start to change. What we’re seeing today is a shift in how simulation is experienced. 

“Motion is no longer an enhancement – it’s becoming a fundamental part of delivering credible, high-performance simulation,” he continued.

“We’re proud to partner with D-BOX for the first-ever North American SimRacing Expo,” said Michael Wamser, CEO of SimRacing Expo organisers, South West Vision USA.

“We’ve worked together for many years on the European expo, where D-BOX’s technology has impressed attendees and media guests. Our partnership continues in Charlotte, where guests will get to experience D-BOX’s simulator technology first-hand,” he stated.
