Sim Racing Expo 2026 – Someone Turned a Real Audi R8 LMS GT3 Into a Racing Simulator, and It’s for a Good Cause

In my initial overview of the Sim Racing Expo in Frankfurt, I briefly mentioned a car that had been made into a racing simulator.

That's what I found at the CONSPIT stand at the Sim Racing Expo.

SpendenLMS has taken a damaged Audi R8 LMS GT3 chassis, combined it with salvageable parts from other racing cars, and turned the whole thing into a simulator.

The aim was to give people the chance to sit inside a genuine racing car, something most would otherwise never experience.

I saw a lot of impressive technology at the Sim Racing Expo, but there's something especially memorable about an actual Audi racing car being given a second life as a simulator.
