Trak Racer Motion Base In The Works
Since 2008, Australian, Melbourne based simulator company Trak Racer produce several different static sim racing simulators and accessories for the international market. Recently, Trak Racer introduced an updated Trak Racer RS6 Mach 2 version of their successful RS6 chassis and enhanced some of the features on their existing product line.
But it seems there is more on the way.
A few months ago, Trak Racer hinted that they were thinking of taking the already top-notch product line one step further by entering the world of cutting-edge motion systems. Recently the first pictures emerged confirming that the Trak Racer engineers are already building a prototype of the upcoming product.
At the time of writing, no official information has been released as of yet. However, the shared pictures, show us a 4 actuator kit design which should result in a 3-DOF motion system featuring Pitch Axis (tilts forward and backward), Roll Axis (pivots side to side), and Heave Axis (moving up and down). Interestingly, the prototype Trak Racer Motion Base seems to be designed to accommodate the existing Trak Racer chassis with a minimum of effort.
We currently do not have any technical specifications for the unit, such as speed, payload, and amount of travel. We will keep you updated when more info becomes available.
The biggest question on everybody’s mind will without a doubt be the pricing. Motion systems are never cheap by any means, but it is fair to say that the pricing on modern motion simulators can vary from reasonably expensive to extremely expensive. However, with their current lineup of static rigs, Trak Racer has already proven to be very good value for money, and therefore it would not surprise us to see the Trak Racer Motion base, become available at a competitive price point.
We expect to receive more news soon, as Trak Racer has hinted that the product is scheduled to become available during 2018.
