Dortmund Expo Recap

We’re back from an unforgettable weekend in Dortmund! Racers packed the booth, put our newest gear through its paces, and shared the kind of real-world feedback that inspires every product we build.

We Brought the Gear, You Brought the Energy

Dortmund was buzzing with sim racers, full-throttle laps, and plenty of curious hands on our latest hardware.

Catching up with the community face-to-face is always a highlight. Seeing the excitement, hearing honest feedback, and sharing a few laughs between sessions. Moments like these remind us why we build what we build.

There’s something special about watching someone take their first lap with new equipment, then immediately turn around with a big grin and a list of ideas. You can’t get that through a screen. It’s real, and we take every bit of that energy back home with us.

Those conversations - the small ones just as much as the technical ones - are what help us improve, refine, and sometimes even rethink how things should feel behind the wheel.

 

Aiming for Excellence - DDX Wheelbases in Action

This year’s spotlight at every expo has been our upcoming DDX wheelbases, but Dortmund was a little extra special for us. For the first time, we brought versions that are very close to launch/

There’s still work to do, and we’ll be taking a few more laps before we cross the finish line. We want the DDX to deliver exactly what sim racers expect from Sim-Lab hardware - strength, detail, and complete confidence behind the wheel.

And that’s where you made the difference. Every correction, curb hop, slide, and late-brake moment helped us fine-tune the force-feedback character, power delivery, and overall feel. That kind of real track testing is impossible to simulate in the workshop.

This is how we build products: for racers, and tested by racers. We’ll keep everyone posted as we get closer to launch. The big moment isn’t far now.

 

Cosworth in the Booth

Just days before the expo, we shared some big news: a new partnership with Cosworth, a name deeply rooted in real-world racing.

We brought a Cosworth CCW Mk3 Steering Wheel to Dortmund, and it was great to see people get hands-on with a piece of true motorsport equipment. There’s a different kind of excitement when you’re holding the same hardware you see in race cars — and that’s exactly the feeling we want to bring into sim racing.

This is only the beginning of what we’re working on together, and we’re looking forward to revealing more when the time is right. 

 

Thank You, Dortmund!

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, turned laps, and shared your passion for sim racing with us. Events like this are a reminder that we’re part of something much bigger than hardware, a community that pushes racing forward.

And we can’t wait to see you again next year.
