FEEL THE TRACK LIKE NEVER BEFORE WITH SIM RACING MOTION SYSTEMS
A sim racing motion system completely transforms your setup, from static on-screen to fully immersive, giving you that seat-of-the-pants sensation you just can't get from force feedback alone.
When you're accelerating down a straight or braking into a tight corner, a quality motion simulator brings every shift in weight and surface change to life right beneath you.
At SimRigs, we stock a hand-picked range of sim racing motion systems from brands trusted by serious racers, including Simagic, Qubic System, and D-BOX.

SimRigs is home to some of the most advanced motion simulators in Australia. From compact haptic modules that add layers of feedback to your pedals to full-blown actuator-based systems with industrial-grade performance, the gear we stock is designed for serious racers.
How does motion simulation work?
Motion simulation works by recreating the forces you’d feel in a real car. From pitch, roll, heave, acceleration and braking, the effect is instant in a motion simulator. You’re physically experiencing the track, instead of just watching it unfold on screen.
WHAT TYPES OF MOTION SIMULATORS ARE THERE?
Not all motion systems operate in the same way. Here's how the main categories break down:
Haptic feedback systems
-
Transducers and bass shakers that mount to your seat or rig
-
Deliver vibration-based feedback for surface texture, engine, and tyre information
-
Lower cost entry point, easy to add to an existing setup
Seat movers
-
Move the seat independently from the frame
-
Replicate pitch and roll for braking, acceleration, and cornering forces
-
Compact footprint, suitable for most home setups
Full platform motion systems
-
Actuator-based systems that move the entire rig
-
Multiple degrees of freedom for the most realistic sensation
-
Used by professional drivers and race teams for training
DO SIM RACING MOTION SYSTEMS ACTUALLY MAKE YOU FASTER?
Not automatically, but the physical feedback they deliver builds muscle memory that screens and force feedback alone can't. You feel the rear stepping out before you see it. You sense the car loading up under braking. You catch slides earlier and brake later with more confidence. Over enough laps, that shows up in your times.
CAN YOU ADD A MOTION SIMULATOR TO AN EXISTING RIG?
The motion systems we stock at SimRigs mount directly to most racing frames and can be added to an existing setup with minimal effort. They integrate with major racing titles including iRacing, Assetto Corsa, rFactor, and DiRT Rally, and most are plug-and-play with easy-to-install software.
Pair a motion simulator with your existing wheelbase, steering wheel, pedals, and button box to build a rig that performs like the real thing. Or, if you're starting from scratch, our turn-key simulators take care of the whole build.

FAQs about Motion Systems & Accessories
-
When you’re looking to upgrade to a motion simulator, it comes down to movement and how well the system reads your car. You should look out for fast response times and a solid load capacity, as well as software that gives you tuning options. Build quality matters too, so opt for a motion system with durable hardware that can handle serious use.
-
Sim racing motion systems let you feel the car, rather than just drive it. They deliver physical feedback, which helps to train your instincts on the track while building muscle memory. Your reactions will get sharper and more consistent over time. With a motion simulator driving your setup, you can see cleaner laps and tighter lines, and you will probably build a lot more confidence to push the limits.
-
Pro drivers and race teams use sim racing motion systems that deliver multiple degrees of freedom and ultra-low latency. Simagic is respected in the sport for its reliability and responsiveness, making it a strong choice for both home setups and high-end professional rigs.
-
Start with a solid base rig first. Once you've got your wheel, pedals, and chassis sorted, a haptic system is a great first step into motion.
-
Most motion systems are designed to integrate with standard racing frames without a full rebuild. Get in touch and we'll confirm compatibility with your current setup before you buy.
