Request Pricing & InfoWhy 301 / 401cr for commercial use?
- Design philosophy: Built by racers to provide legitimate, high-quality feedback — not just “immersion.” Learn tracks faster, improve consistency, and engage customers with real g-load cues.
- Software support: ForceControl supports dozens of titles (iRacing, Assetto Corsa, rFactor 2, Project CARS, MSFS, DCS, etc.) with presets per title/car and ongoing updates.
- Build quality: Industrial servo systems and robust construction derived from factory automation — engineered for years of service in demanding venues.
- VR (for real): Motion-compensated VR so views stay level during large motions — no “swinging hammock” effect and reduced motion sickness.
Commercial bundle — ready to run
All 301 and 401cr systems ship RTR with Corbeau seat, Heusinkveld Sprint pedals, onboard PC, 5.1 audio, and triple-monitor display. Turnkey software loads and race-management available for sim centers and events.

Frequently asked questions
301 vs. 401cr — which should I choose?
Both deliver large-range, high-speed cues. Choose 401cr if your use-case benefits from continuous yaw (drift, rally, aviation-style rotation, advanced training, or premium venue differentiation).
Power requirements?
301: 120 VAC (18 A RMS*, 70 A peak) or 240 VAC optional. 401cr: 120 VAC (20 A RMS*, 80 A peak) or 240 VAC (10 A RMS, 40 A peak). Use thermal breakers due to peak draw.
Can you help with multi-rig layouts?
Yes — we coordinate space/egress, power/network planning, operations, and race-management to maximize throughput and guest experience.
