Simulator Leader Dynisma Enters Multi-Million Dollar Partnership with Dallara

Dynisma, the UK company behind driver-in-the-loop simulators used by multiple Formula 1 teams, has inked a multi-million dollar deal with Italian chassis giant Dallara. Two flagship DMG360XY motion systems will be installed at Dallara's facilities in Italy and the United States, significantly expanding the manufacturer's virtual development capacity across its global motorsport programs.

Why it matters:

Dallara builds chassis for IndyCar, Formula 2, Formula 3, and Super Formula, and has manufactured for Haas F1 since 2016, meaning its engineering choices influence a huge swath of professional racing. By betting heavily on simulation at a time when track testing is severely limited, Dallara is signaling that virtual development is now central to how race cars are refined before they turn a wheel.

The details:

• The agreement covers two units, with the first arriving at Dallara's Varano de' Melegari headquarters in Q4 2026 and a second following at its Indianapolis facility in early 2027.
• Key Specs: Sub-five-millisecond latency, motion bandwidth over 100 Hz, and unlimited 360-degree yaw combined with five metres of ground-plane travel.
• Yaw Advantage: Traditional simulators must reset rotation periodically, introducing false physical cues. The DMG360XY's continuous yaw removes those interruptions, tightening correlation between simulator and track data.
• Global Consistency: Identical hardware across both hubs lets European and US engineers work in the same virtual environment and compare results directly.
• Founded in 2017 by ex-Ferrari and McLaren simulator engineer Ash Warne, Dynisma already supplies multiple F1, GT, and endurance racing organizations.

What's next:

As simulators become an increasingly vital engineering tool, Dallara's dual-platform investment positions it to streamline R&D across its diverse racing portfolio. Once operational in late 2026 and early 2027, these systems could set a new benchmark for how leading suppliers integrate high-fidelity virtual testing into the development pipeline.
