What is SimRacing Expo 2026?
SimRacing Expo is one of the world's leading events for sim racing and simulation. Since 2014, it has brought together hardware manufacturers, game developers, professional drivers and virtual motorsport fans.
The 2025 edition broke records, attracting 24,371 visitors, 74 exhibitors and 30 hardware and software premieres.
For 2026, the organisers are planning an event with over 70 exhibitors, approximately 14,000 m² of exhibition space and a more extensive programme of activities and product presentations than ever before.
From Dortmund to Frankfurt: Why is the event moving in 2026?
After its recent editions in Dortmund, SimRacing Expo is moving to Frankfurt.
The change provides around 40% more exhibition space and better transport connections. That's good news for fans travelling from other countries too.

Simufy at SimRacing Expo 2026: Simulators, offers and activities
Simufy is returning to SimRacing Expo with a stand where you can see and try premium sim racing equipment, compare setups and get advice from our specialist team.
We've also prepared exclusive discounts and activities to help you get the most out of all three days.
Which simulators can you try at our stand?
At our stand, you'll find seven premium simulators, built for different disciplines and simulation experiences.
From motion-equipped circuit racing rigs to rally and flight simulation, there's plenty to explore. We'll also have one exclusive simulator whose details we can't reveal just yet.
Among the announced setups, you'll find simulators with motion platforms as well as a fixed rig. You can also discover our exclusive simulator in person at the stand.
Try, compare and buy with expert advice
In sim racing, it's common to buy equipment before getting the chance to try it, especially at the premium end of the market.
At our stand, you can see products up close, try different setups and ask questions to people who work with this hardware every day.
Here are a few questions sim racers often struggle to get clear answers to:
- I want to upgrade my pedals. Should I choose hydraulic pedals, elastomer-based pedals or active pedals?
- If I'm building a complete sim rig, how do I check accessory compatibility?
- What does a motion platform offer compared with a static simulator?
Our team can help you compare options, answer compatibility questions and choose the equipment that suits your needs.
During the event, you'll also benefit from special purchasing conditions:
- Exclusive discounts
Special offers on purchases made during the three days of the show.
- Free shipping
Place your order at our stand and enjoy shipping at no extra cost, subject to the applicable terms.
That way, you can see the equipment, try it, get expert guidance and place your order with exclusive event benefits.
Our extensive experience with commercial simulator installations also means we can advise visitors planning bespoke projects or businesses that involve simulators.
DAILY CHALLENGE
Hot lap challenge: Compete at our stand every day
Think you can set the fastest lap?
Throughout the three days, we'll be running our Hot Lap Challenge, where visitors can jump into the driving seat and aim for the fastest time.
The key difference is that the leaderboard resets every day, giving you a fresh chance to prove your pace on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Whether you're visiting for one day or the whole weekend, you can take part and compete against fellow sim racers.
