Manufacturer of ACTORACER.
Simulationstechnik Lingnau GmbH was founded by Thorsten Lingnau — with a clear vision: to build a racing simulator that feels not like a toy, but like a real race car. This idea gave rise to ACTORACER — a new generation of full-motion driving simulators, developed by motorsports enthusiasts, engineers, designers, and IT experts under one roof in Windeck.
Founded by Thorsten Lingnau
Designers, motorsport professionals, and IT experts
Developed and Produced in Germany
CE-certified
Over a decade of experience in manufacturing professional motion motorsport simulators
Used in 9 countries worldwide
At the heart of every ACTORACER, in-house, extremely fast actuators are at work. Every bump, every curb, every braking zone is physically noticeable — no rumbling, no effect, but real movement with professional hardware: direct-drive steering, hydraulic pedals and a platform mover base in the ULTIMATE class.
What began as an idea of a passionate motorsports enthusiast is today an internationally used system: in Sim Race Centers in nine countries, by authorities and the German Armed Forces, in driving school training, in professional race training and at events from the Simracing EXPO to the ABA racing series at the NÜRBURGRING.
Development, production, showroom, and service are all located at the headquarters in Windeck. Made in Germany — not as marketing, but as a claim to every single component.
