Peak <b>Sim Racing</b> to open Denver racing simulator center on South Broadway

Eli Sevilla is building what he wishes he had years ago. “The biggest issue with me growing up was I didn’t have any friends who were into sim racing,” the 27-year-old told BusinessDen. “So I got into it very slowly.” He hopes to kick that process into higher gear for newcomers, while also bringing in veterans, at Peak Sim Racing, his upcoming project at 1236 S. Broadway in Denver. When the spot opens in the coming months, Sevilla will bring 12 racing simulators to the former home of Burns Family Artisan Ales, which closed in May last year after eight years in business. Motorheads can experience “every type of racing imaginable” at Peak Sim Racing, Sevilla said. The spot will also allow customers to upload their own car into the machines to cruise in everything from a Ford Mustang to a Toyota Camry around the track. Sevilla said Peak Sim will offer a more authentic racing experience than other simulator businesses, such as F1 Arcade in RiNo. “This is as close as you can get to being inside a real race car without the money or the risk,” Sevilla said. Sevilla brought a sim to Pikes Peak in June for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. (Courtesy Peak Sim) Each simulator is custom-made, and Peak Sim will have 10 standard machines alongside two premium ones. The former each cost around $20,000 to build out, while the premium ones run upward of $30,000. Patrons drive the cars in a first-person screen setup sitting down using a steering wheel. Generally, sims sell anywhere from $5,000 to $100,000, Sevilla said. He built one for himself five years ago, having caught the racing bug from the 2019 Netflix docuseries “Formula 1: Drive to Survive.” “Most companies don’t make every component you need to build

Does Lewis Hamilton Use an F1 <b>Racing Simulator</b>?

Does Lewis Hamilton Use an F1 Racing Simulator? Sir Lewis Hamilton is the most successful driver in Formula 1 history, but has the seven-time World Champion made use of what is now a staple across the grid: the F1 Racing Simulator? We look at how his attitude towards this has changed since he made his debut in 2007. Video Transcript Formula 1 testing is on this week, so I wanted to answer one of the most popular questions on the internet when it comes to F1 testing i- is that surrounding a certain Sir Lewis Hamilton, who is of course driving for Ferrari for the first time in 2025. He'll be taking part in the pre-season testing in Bahrain. And I wanted to answer the question as to whether Sir Lewis Hamilton uses a racing simulator. Now, you might be wondering, well, does he? What is a racing simulator in this actual example? Well, of course, all the teams in Formula 1 have very complex racing simulators to simulate the, as best as they can, the virtual equivalent of the real-life car to test it without actually going on the track, because of course, testing in Formula 1 is very time-consuming, it's very physical, it's very expensive, and most importantly, it's very limited these days in Formula 1 as well. The days of unlimited testing are gone, and frankly, they're never gonna come back. I can't see that happening. But does Hamilton use a simulator? Well, early on, he didn't really rely on simulators so much. Now, this is partly because racing simulators when Hamilton was first getting started in Formula 1 in the, in the late 2000s, of course he made his debut in 2007, which was 18 years ago now, which makes me feel old. But he didn't

iRacing Random Weather Testing Begins in Season 4

iRacing random weather testing will begin with Season 4 2026 as the simulator experiments with less predictable race conditions. The company plans to test new weather re-roll systems in selected series rather than changing the entire service at once. These tests will generate conditions either for individual races or for each race day. iRacing will then use feedback and collected data to guide future changes. The experiments form part of the wider iRacing Season 4 update. They follow continued discussion about how the simulator uses its dynamic weather system in official racing. iRacing says development has continued behind the scenes despite relatively little public information in recent months. How iRacing Random Weather Will Work iRacing plans to test two different approaches. The first will generate a new weather re-roll for each race. The second will generate new conditions for each race day. Both systems aim to increase variation without replacing the existing dynamic weather simulation. Per-race re-rolls could produce the biggest difference for regular competitors. Two races using the same series and circuit could potentially feature different conditions. Drivers would therefore have less certainty about what they will face before entering a session. The per-race-day option takes a more conservative approach. Conditions could remain consistent across races held during the same day before changing for another race day. iRacing has not yet decided which system could eventually become the standard. Selected Series Will Test More Rain iRacing will not introduce these changes everywhere immediately. The development team is working with community managers from a selection of series to test the new weather behavior. Some of those series will also use forecasts with a greater chance of rain. This approach gives iRacing an opportunity to study how different systems affect participation and racing. It also allows the developers to collect feedback

iRacing Season 4 2026 Brings New Cars, Tracks and Major Physics Upgrades

iRacing has detailed its Season 4 2026 update, confirming a substantial package of new cars, rebuilt circuits, physics improvements, UI features and further progress on Career Mode and the next-generation graphics engine. The August development update also confirms the arrival of the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH, two Caterham models, major revisions to several existing cars and a new multiclass race start system. New Cars and Rebuilt Circuits The headline car addition is the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH, developed using telemetry, chassis data and direct engineering input to reproduce the characteristics of the V12-powered prototype. iRacing says the project required extensive work to accurately model the car’s mechanical behavior, aerodynamics and chassis dynamics before it was considered ready for release. iRacing is also adding the Caterham Academy and Caterham 420R as a single purchase. The Academy is aimed at novice racers and will initially compete in Class D series, while the more powerful 420R will be positioned in Class C. Both cars bring a lightweight, highly mechanical driving experience that sits between traditional sports cars and open-wheel machinery. Three existing circuits have been completely rebuilt using new laser scans captured in 2026. Road America, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and the Milwaukee Mile will replace their older versions while remaining available at no additional cost to existing owners. The older versions of those tracks will be retired once the new scans are released with Season 4. Road America also receives new East and West configurations using the Turn 5 bypass, while Milwaukee gains a new road course layout. In addition, Summit Point Raceway has been rebuilt with new models, textures, vegetation, curbs and surfaces, while Road Atlanta receives updated track textures, 3D curbs, foliage and scenery ahead of Petit Le Mans. Major Car and Physics Updates The Mazda MX-5 receives one of

iRacing confirms Aston Martin Valkyrie Hypercar and two Caterhams for Season 4 | Traxion

Caterham 420R, Caterham Academy and Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH Hypercar coming to iRacing’s Season 4 2026 build Single-player career mode nearing completion New laser-scanned versions of Road America, Mid-Ohio and Milwaukee Mile iRacing’s Senior Vice President and Executive Producer, Greg Hill, delivered another dev blog of War and Peace proportions today, setting out what drivers can expect to see in the sim’s upcoming Season 4 2026 build. Unlike in Tolstoy’s epic, however, ‘peace’ will be replaced by the sound of ‘war’ in iRacing soon, in the form of the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH Hypercar’s piercing V12 exhaust note (and you’ll do well to find a more contrived metaphor than that, dear reader). Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH Hypercar Yes, the Aston has been in development for more than a year, according to Hill, and it’s been recreated using real telemetry and engineering data. Once deployed in September, it will join the sim’s five-strong GTP class alongside the Ferrari 499P, Acura ARX-06 LMDH, BMW M-Hybrid V8, Cadillac V-Series.R and Porsche 963 LMDH. Joining the Aston are two Caterhams: the 420R and Academy. Caterhams’ presence in iRacing was thought to be a formality once the small British brand appeared in sister title iRacing Arcade, and the Lotus 7-inspired sports cars will likely be a hit with subscribers. Both cars will be packaged together as a single purchase, with the Academy designed as an entry-level race car with 130 bhp. Meanwhile, the 420R produces more than 200 bhp, propelling its 635 kg chassis to ludicrous cornering forces and making it a racier proposition. Both cars feature on a bumper Caterham motorsport package in the UK, with separate series for Academy, Roadsport, 270R, 310R and the top-level 420R cars. Car updates The Mazda MX-5 and asphalt Sprint Car will receive huge, ground-up updates for Season

RIO HIGHLIGHTS TECHNOLOGY, GAMING AND DIGITAL STORYTELLING ...

Chief Minister of Nagaland, Dr. Neiphiu Rio formally inaugurated the two-day Tech X Gaming Expo at NBCC Convention Hall, Kohima on 28th August 2026. Speaking at the inauguration of the Tech X Gaming Expo 2026 (TXG Expo 2026) Dr. Neiphiu Rio said that the Expo marked the convergence of technology, gaming, innovation, education and the aspirations of Nagaland’s youth. He particularly highlighted the Kohima Time Trials of the F1 Sim Racing India Open 2026, saying it was the first time the national talent search had come to the Northeast. He said gaming and e-sports should not be viewed merely as recreational activities but as gateways to future careers in areas such as race engineering, game development, data analysis, streaming and digital content. Referring to the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, Rio said technology could help Nagaland overcome geographical constraints and connect its young talent with national and global opportunities without requiring them to leave the State. The Chief Minister highlighted several government initiatives in GIS, drone technology, e-sports, IT, start-ups and artificial intelligence, including the STPI centre in Kohima, the upcoming Nagaland Innovation Hub for Startups at Chumoukedima and the proposed AI Centre of Excellence. Rio also underlined the important role of the Department of Information & Public Relations (DIPR) in the digital age, saying communication today is not simply about disseminating government information but also about telling Nagaland’s story to the world. He said Nagaland has a remarkable story to tell through its culture, creativity, entrepreneurship, music, sports, innovation and young talent. Modern communication platforms, he said, must be used to ensure that the world sees not only the beauty and heritage of Nagaland but also the talent, innovation and aspirations of its people. DIPR is among the government departments working together with the Departments of School Education, Youth

Moza <b>Racing</b> launches officially licensed MotoGP gaming handlebar controller | Visordown

Moza Racing launches officially licensed MotoGP gaming handlebar controller Moza Racing has unveiled an officially licensed MotoGP handlebar controller designed to bring motorcycle-style controls and force feedback to racing games. Steering wheels for driving games are everywhere, but now bike racing games can get the hands-on treatment. Copy>Steering wheels for driving and racing games have been around for years. From the early days of the coin-op classic Turbo OutRun to today’s super high-tech, and super-expensive, home racing sim setups. Authentic, hands-on controllers for bike racing games, though, have been suspiciously hard to find. Sure, there have been a number of coin-op arcade bike games that have featured them, but they hardly majored in authenticity and often felt like a bit of a slap-dash solution to keep us bikers quiet. That changes in 2026, as one of the world leaders in gaming controllers and sim equipment is finally turning its hand to the world of two wheels. Moza Racing has been making sim controllers for car racing, farming and flying sim games and more since 2012, although to date, it has not released a handlebar setup to allow gamers to ride like Rossi. That changes, as Moza’s officially licensed MotoGP motorcycle controller has been unveiled at Gamescom 2026. And while calling it a set of handlebars might make it sound fairly simple, there is considerably more going on here than just sticking a throttle and a couple of brake levers onto a gaming peripheral. The controller is designed to connect to one of Moza’s direct-drive wheelbases, using the force-feedback motor in the base to send feedback through the handlebars. That means the bars can actually resist your inputs and provide feedback from the game, rather than simply acting as a glorified steering input. The controller is also designed to replicate one

All iRacing content will be available in career mode at 'zero extra cost'

- iRacing’s recent dev blog outlines future career mode - Season 4 2026 build will include Caterham 420R, Caterham Academy and Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH Hypercar iRacing’s Senior Vice President and Executive Producer, Greg Hill, proffered a whole bunch of new details on the game’s work-in-progress career mode during his latest dev blog. Career mode will be a single-player experience for the subscription-based sim, starting players on the bottom rung of the motorsport ladder. The goal is to progress through the ranks, facing stiffer competition, longer races, and more championships to reach the pinnacle of a player’s chosen discipline. The key facet of all this is that iRacing’s entire pool of track and car content will be available in the career mode, whether players ‘own’ the content or not. Hill said Career Mode will come with ‘zero extra cost’ and be included in a standard iRacing subscription, with no additional track or car purchases required. So, as you progress through your career, cars and tracks become available and unlock, but then become unavailable again once the relevant race or season has been completed in career mode. Therefore, the unlocked cars and tracks you don’t own will not transfer to the overall iRacing ecosystem. This has long been a bone of contention among career mode sceptics, which has thankfully now been put to rest. Discussion There is definatly alot of potential here. It will be quite interesting to see how it ends up.

F1 ARCADE LAUNCHES FAMILY <b>RACING</b> EXPERIENCE IN LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM ...

Looking for something a little different to do with the kids this August Bank Holiday weekend? F1 Arcade is inviting families in London and Birmingham to get on the grid for an immersive racing experience combining Formula 1-inspired competition, food and family fun. The social racing venue, which combines full-motion racing simulators with food and drinks, is putting families in the driving seat with its Family Racing Experience. Designed for both first-time racers and seasoned Formula 1 fans, the experience gives every member of the group their own simulator for 30 minutes of head-to-head racing. Get The Whole Family On The Grid Whether you’re looking to fill a rainy afternoon, celebrate a special occasion or simply find a new activity to enjoy together before the school holidays come to an end, F1 Arcade offers a weather-proof alternative to the usual family day out. Family racing starts from £39 for three people in Birmingham and £45 in London, with each racer getting the chance to compete against the rest of their group on the track. The venues also offer food and drinks alongside the racing experience, including a dedicated kids’ menu, meaning families can make a longer outing of their visit. According to the official F1 Arcade website, the Family Racing Experience is available for groups of three to five people, with one simulator per racer and different difficulty levels designed to make the experience accessible to newcomers as well as more experienced players. More Than Just A Day Out For Formula 1 Fans You don’t necessarily need to be a Formula 1 expert to enjoy F1 Arcade. The experience is designed as a social activity, allowing groups to race against one another while enjoying the atmosphere of the venue’s restaurant and bar. F1 Arcade first launched in London in December

iRacing's Long-Awaited Career Mode Is Nearly Here and Sounds Really Good

To date, iRacing has primarily been a platform for multiplayer racing. Eventually, the simulator added computer-controlled opponents, and you were always free to hot lap in solitude, but the single-player experience was never really a focus. That’s changing, though, with the addition of a career mode to the platform. It’s been brewing for some time—iRacing says it still needs “a little more time in the oven”—and few details were previously given, until today. iRacing’s August development update is lengthy, diving into everything on the horizon for the simulator, from the upcoming debut of the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH and Caterhams, to track updates, performance updates, and quality-of-life UI enhancements. It’s all appreciated, but our main focus here is the career mode. As the team describes it, this experience is based around “racing, learning, advancement, objectives, leaderboards, realistic progression paths, and an unprecedented amount of included content.” That last point is extremely good to hear, given that the recurring complaint against iRacing since its inception is that you pay a monthly or annual fee to use the service—which isn’t cheap, at $14.75 per month for existing members and $124.50 for the year—and then need to buy every car and track on top of it a-la-carte, beyond a limited amount of base content. Career mode will be an exception to that rule though, as “no additional car or track purchases [are] required” for it, and “access [to all content] is exclusive to this mode and does not transfer to the broader iRacing service.” A great start, then. Beyond that, the experience sounds very broad, with seven unique careers (and more to be added down the line) that the developer describes as “a full game’s worth of content.” These will naturally span many disciplines and steps along the motorsport ladder, so whether you’re

Rajah Caruth threatens to crash JGR Chase party in NASCAR regular-season finale

NASCAR Rajah Caruth threatens to crash JGR Chase party in NASCAR regular-season finale All eyes are on the cutline for tonight’s NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Sports Series race at Daytona. A dramatic storyline has emerged over the last few races with all eyes on a trio of Joe Gibbs Racing teammates and Rajah Caruth of JR Motorsports. The Chase for O’Reilly, unlike the Cup Series’ 16-team field, is a 12-team field. Tonight’s Winn-Dixie 250 is the regular season finale. A hornets nest at the cutline Brent Crews and William Sawalich sit at 11th and 12th, tied with the same amount of points. In 13th is Taylor Gray. In 14th is Rajah Caruth. The difference between 14th and 11th is just 15 points. It’s a hornets nest there, and there’s some wild dynamics at play. Caruth is 15 points away from 11th and 12th, a tie between Crews and Sawalich. Taylor Gray is one spot below the cutline in 13th, just 14 points ahead of Caruth. Crews, Sawalich, and Gray are teammates. And loyalty might go out the window when all three are at the cutline separated by just one point. Daytona is going to be very interesting if Caruth gets stage points early to tighten the divide. Caruth confident ahead of tonight’s race “It’s not an ideal spot to be in,” said Caruth. “You want to be in the top ten or top right probably to make a run at the championship, but for me, I’m excited for the opportunity today. “I entered Atlanta 48 points out, and I have knocked 33 points from that, and going to a track where I have a knack for superspeedway racing, things can happen outside of your control, but I’m definitely confident going into Daytona today. “I would put our odds as good as

MOZA MotoGP Handlebar: Full Specs and Compatibility Revealed

Following its debut at Gamescom 2026, MOZA Racing has provided a more detailed look at its first motorcycle simulation product developed in collaboration with MotoGP. The officially licensed MotoGP Handlebar expands the company’s Direct Drive ecosystem beyond car racing, combining force feedback with dedicated motorcycle controls and support for several bike racing titles. Rather than using a completely separate force feedback platform, the MotoGP Handlebar is compatible with all currently available MOZA wheel bases. MOZA does not list support for third-party wheel bases, making the product specifically designed around its existing hardware ecosystem. MotoGP Design, Force Feedback and Dual Riding Modes MOZA describes the system as its first motorbike simulation product developed with MotoGP. Force feedback is used to reproduce physical sensations and control inputs from the virtual motorcycle, while the handlebar features two riding modes intended to provide different ways of interacting with supported games. For now, MOZA has not published a technical explanation of how those two modes differ, so details regarding their exact steering and leaning behaviour remain unconfirmed. The handlebar measures 620 mm wide and combines a magnesium-alloy rear housing with a plastic front housing and silicone grips. It attaches using a custom aluminium-alloy quick-release system, while signal transmission is handled through a conductive slip ring. MOZA has also integrated the controller with its Pit House software, allowing users to configure button mapping and lighting. Intelligent telemetry support enables the lighting system to react to compatible games. There are 10 backlit short-travel buttons, with illumination configurable across 16.7 million colours, alongside one D-pad and two five-way switches. Six RGB shift LEDs are also included and offer the same 16.7-million-colour configuration range. An optional MOZA CM2 dashboard can be added to the setup. Its interface is fully customizable and MOZA also provides official presets, allowing riders to
