ImSim for Home
Professional-grade racing simulators engineered for serious driving, built to live in your home.
The experience
In a car you read braking, grip and weight transfer with your body, not with your eyes. A screen and a wheel give you two of those channels. An ImSim gives you four.
01
Load on the front axle, the moment the car starts to slide, how much grip is left.
02
Pressure under the foot, ABS, and where the braking distance actually ends.
03
Kerbs, road surface, wheelspin, and which end of the car let go.
04
Four transducers, one at each corner, each fed its own signal.
And the machine itself moves with the car: braking, acceleration, weight transfer, suspension travel, camber and lateral load.
Not a toy
Nothing is scaled down for the home. The chassis, the motion system and the four-corner tactile system are the ones that run thousands of hours in professional installations, and the physics come from the titles the sim racing world already competes in.
Which means the same machine does all of this, and you do not have to decide today which one you are.
Sim racing and online competition
Race people on the other side of the world, run a league, join eSports events, chase a time on a leaderboard.
Preparing for real driving
Learn a circuit before you get there and keep the reference between track days. Professional drivers use ImSim for exactly this.
Driving, for the pleasure of it
Twenty minutes before dinner or four hours on a Sunday. No track day to book, no travel, no car to prepare.
If you’re in the market for something that feels real, this is a serious piece of hardware.

In your house
A machine this size has to answer for itself in a room you live in. These are the questions owners actually ask, in the order they ask them.
Will it fit?
An ALMA chassis is about 0.8 × 2 m. A TERRA measures 1914 × 763 mm and stands 1314 mm high in the single-screen configuration with four actuators; the static machine is smaller.
Will it look good?
The machines were drawn to interior design standards, not workshop ones. One colour, chosen by you, finished surfaces, and cable management built into the chassis.
Will I need a technical room?
No. It runs from a normal socket, with cable management built into the chassis. Under a minute to move it and start it, where a motion simulator normally takes up to three hours.
Can other people use it?
The seat and the pedal plate move fore and aft, the steering height moves on the column, and the Universal Seat Support takes most bucket seats on the market. The next driver is set up in seconds.
Will I constantly have to fix something?
Two years of warranty, use and maintenance documents with every machine, and support by email, WhatsApp, phone or TeamViewer, remote and on site.
Real installations
Private homes only. A garden room, a games room, a room built for one thing.

Personalisation
Colour, equipment, screens, motion, details. Your ImSim should look like yours, and not like the one in the photograph.
Exterior finish
Red 000° / #AF020E
The colours shown here are representative. The simulator can be produced in other colours and finishes, matched to a reference you send us.
Colour
Any colour you can give us a reference for. Send a code, a sample, or the car it has to match.
Vinyl and liveries
Graphics over the paint, and your own cars and liveries inside the simulator as well.
Everything else
Seat, wheel, pedals, screens, the motion system and the computer. Beyond paint and vinyl there are machines built one at a time, to a brief.
The range
Three machines on one platform. The difference between them is how much of the car reaches you, and how much of the room it asks for.
01
The way in. It drives from the first day with no motion at all, and the motion is added later to the same chassis.
02
ImSim’s own three axes, roll, pitch and yaw, on a machine designed as one piece around the driver.
03
The flagship, for someone whose simulator is also part of the room it stands in.
Engineering
Three things decide whether a simulator tells you the truth about what the car is doing. This is how ImSim does them.
01
Four tactile transducers, one at each corner of the chassis, each fed its own signal. Kerbs, road surface, engine and gear shifts, wheelspin and ABS arrive with a direction, so you feel which end of the car is doing it before you can see it.
02
The point of a motion system is not to move a lot. It is to tell you something. The factory profiles were developed with professional racing drivers and use short, precise movements that carry what you need and leave out what would only distract you from driving fast.
Two or four actuators, from D-BOX or Qubic System, fitted at order or added later to the same chassis.
03
A simulator that has to run thousands of hours is closer to industrial machinery than to consumer hardware, and that is where these come from. The numbers below are from machines in the field, not from a specification.
25,000
racing experiences run by single units, without a fault
4,000

Credibility
ImSim came out of thirty-five years of engineering for the automotive industry, building the special machines other manufacturers assemble and test their parts on.
The simulators are designed, engineered and manufactured in Portugal, on one site, and developed and tested with professional racing drivers.

Ownership
What happens between deciding and driving, and what happens after.
Configure
Machine, motion, screens, wheel, pedals, seat and colour. The configurator gives you a configuration and a price before you have to talk to anybody.
Build
Yours is built to that specification in Taveiro, Portugal, where the machines are designed, engineered and manufactured. Six to eight weeks from order.
Delivery
Crated and shipped worldwide, fully assembled and tested before it leaves.
Setup
It connects to the mains and runs with no installation. Cable management is built into the chassis.
Drive
Free software updates for the life of the machine, and support by email, WhatsApp, phone or TeamViewer, remote and on site.
