How much does a racing simulator cost?
An ACTORACER full-motion racing simulator sits in the mid five-figure euro range depending on the model, with the compact entry models below and ULTIMATE and FORMULA above that. Price depends on the kinematics, the number of actuators, direct-drive steering, hydraulic pedals, the display system and the software package. Every rig is configured to order, so we quote per model in writing rather than publishing a list price. Binding prices for the current configuration: on request.
Which ACTORACER model is right for me?
The choice follows purpose, space and usage hours: NANO and MINI for private rooms and showrooms, LITE and LITE TL for driving schools and centers with limited floor space, PRO and x-TRON for commercial continuous operation, ULTIMATE and FORMULA for motorsport training and high-end installations. Ten models are available, including the driving-school variants x-TRON Fahrschule and LITE TL Fahrschule. For centers we recommend identical hardware across the fleet so lap times and race series stay comparable. ACTORACER configures the rig before quoting, based on ceiling height, floor area, audience and budget.
See all models side by sideHow much space does a racing simulator need?
An ACTORACER needs its footprint plus a safety zone all round, because the platform moves during operation — footprint and required ceiling height per model: on request. For centers we plan per simulator including access, waiting position and cable routing; the compact NANO and MINI also fit into normal rooms. What matters is a load-bearing, level floor and a power outlet within reach. ACTORACER checks the room before delivery from a floor plan and photos.
Can you lease or finance a racing simulator?
Yes — every ACTORACER can be leased or financed, in addition to outright purchase and long-term rental. Commercial customers such as driving schools, centers and companies use it to pay for the rig out of operating revenue rather than equity. We supply the quotation, technical specification and delivery date; the leasing company finances the asset. Terms, residual values and instalments depend on model and creditworthiness: on request.
What is the delivery time?
ACTORACER manufactures to order in Windeck; we quote the current lead time for a configured rig on request. Center projects with several identical simulators are delivered in stages so operation can ramp up step by step. Delivery, on-site installation and staff training are part of the project. Pre-owned units from our own stock, when available, ship considerably faster.
What warranty and service do you provide?
Service and support come directly from the manufacturer, Simulationstechnik Lingnau GmbH in Windeck, not from a reseller. The package includes remote maintenance for software and control, spare parts from our own production and an annual service check on wear parts. Because actuators and electronics are built in house, repairs remain possible years later without third-party parts. Warranty period and response times per contract type: on request.
Does a racing simulator need maintenance?
The ACTORACER models are designed to be maintenance-free, so there is no routine lubrication or realignment work. Software, control and updates run via remote maintenance, so centers and driving schools do not need a technician on site. Wear parts such as belts, pedal pads and wheel covers are inspected at the annual service check and replaced when needed. For rigs in continuous operation we also recommend a visual check by staff before opening.
Can I test drive an ACTORACER before buying?
Yes — test drives take place at the ACTORACER showroom at our headquarters in Windeck, In der Raubach 18, by appointment. Several models stand side by side there, so you can compare NANO, PRO, x-TRON and ULTIMATE directly. Alternatively you can drive an ACTORACER in one of the 40-plus centers across nine countries, including Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Essen and Hanover. Appointments run through the contact form or by phone on +49 2295 909713.
Are there used ACTORACER simulators?
Yes — ACTORACER offers inspected pre-owned units whenever centers or event fleets rotate their rigs; available units are listed in the pre-owned shop on actoracer.de. Every unit is checked at the Windeck factory before sale, updated to current software and documented with its service history. Because actuators and electronics are built in house, used units remain serviceable and supplied with spare parts long term. Stock and prices change constantly, so it is best to ask for the model you want.
