Kunos Simulazioni visits Evotek.

When coming back from Cologne, Kunos Simulazioni spent some hours at Evotek Engineering, an innovative company specialized in Automotive Design & Research near Maranello.

Evotek has developed an innovative motion simulator, powered since 2011 by a prototyped version of Assetto Corsa.
The Kunos team visited their partners, who showed them some upgrades of their system and the new pedal set that will equip the cockpit.

This motion platform features Assetto Corsa at its best,

EVOTEK SYM 026 is a professional dynamic platform installed on three rotation axes expressly designed for the driving simulation on the current F1 cars.

Directly developed from Formula 1 models, the control system, type hardware in the loop, and the high precision implementation mechanics allow a great system reactivity in terms of acceleration and precision of movements, providing an excellent realism of driving.

Manufactured by Riker Ltd on an exclusive Evotek Engineering Ltd design, EVOTEK SYM 026 platform is designed and divided into modules (or subgroups) in order to allow the evolution of each part. We obtain an extremely compact and elegant result with considerable advantages for transport, installation and service.

EVOTEK SYM 026 represents a platform aimed at the professional field, at the needs of motor sport and/or driver training, but also at entertainment centers or simply for a personal use for those who want to experience the emotion of driving a F1 car.
