Gravitom looks set to provide a revolutionary way of replicating high G-forces in sim racing.
The project, which sees legendary sim racing physics developer Aristotelis Vasilakos act as an investor and strategic adviser, uses high-tech software and VR to produce forces of up to 3G.
Founded by Ales and Matic Zajc, two Gravitom simulators will be at this year’s SimRacing Expo, aiming to promote the unique driver training potential of their system, which utilises a truly visceral approach that doesn’t move the rig like traditional motion simulators – it moves the driver.
Another way in which the Gravitom differs from traditional motion platforms is that it can produce these forces for a sustained period, better simulating the effects of driving a real racecar, allowing drivers to train their neck muscles, eye coordination and head stability without requiring a gruelling gym session.

SimRacing Expo will be the first public showing for the technology, with the system using real-time telemetry data to simulate driver forces with a latency of just 1 ms. Gravitom will run both Assetto Corsa Competizione and Le Mans Ultimate at the Expo, but more sims will be added over time as integration standards are met.
