AccuSim and BMW M Motorsport have established a multi-year technical partnership, as part of which BMW M Motorsport has chosen AccuSim’s Trident Genesis Motion Platform for LMDh and GT motorsport simulator capabilities.
BMW will also use AccuSim’s new AccuVision LED display along with the new simulator. The AccuSim logo will feature on BMW M Motorsport’s DTM and GT3 cars throughout the partnership, highlighting the collaboration.
The Trident Genesis Motion Platform claims to set new standards for precision and responsiveness in motorsport simulation, offering six degrees of freedom, ultra-low latency and a compact design that fits into BMW’s existing infrastructure.
The installation is scheduled for mid-2025. Dave Kirkman, founder and technical director of AccuSim, said, “Becoming the official technical partner of BMW M Motorsport is a tremendous honor and a testament to the trust they have placed in our expertise. It’s a collaboration that reflects their confidence in our mission to make high-fidelity simulators more accessible to all levels of motorsport.”
BMW M Motorsport selected the Trident Genesis platform for its blend of technical excellence, compact design and cost-effectiveness. Erik Schuivens, head of vehicle performance and simulation at BMW M Motorsport, added, “Our primary goal for the new simulator was to significantly improve latency and bandwidth, and achieve the full six degrees of freedom required for high-fidelity motorsport simulation.”
Schuivens added, ” However, there were several additional factors critical to our decision-making process. The simulator’s footprint had to be compact enough to integrate seamlessly into our existing infrastructure, as motorsport simulators typically demand a smaller motion envelope compared with automotive counterparts. Cost-efficiency was also a critical factor, ensuring our investment not only meets the highest technical standards but also provides outstanding value for our program for many years to come.”
