What ProSimu.com does

ProSimu.com (legal name PROSIMU.COM) is a French manufacturer of motion racing simulators, founded in 2009 in Mulsanne (Le Mans), France, by Patrick Kubieniec as a sole proprietorship. The company designs and manufactures 100% of its products in-house, including the T1000 series (static and dynamic 2M/3M/5M/7M configurations), the T5 Pro professional simulator, and the T7 Pro 6DOF training simulator, along with proprietary PRS50 and PRS200 electric actuators (0.003 mm precision, up to 280 mm/s speed, 2G acceleration, CAN bus communication) and P3MP/P5MP/P7MP motion platforms that retrofit existing cockpits. A granted patent covers the T7 Pro's unique oversteer/understeer simulation system, distinguishing it from traditional Stewart/Hexapod flight platforms. Software includes a SimTools-ProSimu motion control layer, Prosimu Manager (Basic and Integrale versions) for simulation-room management, and an official IPG Automotive CarMaker integration for automotive R&D use.

The business serves four primary customer segments: professional racing drivers and teams (with brand ambassador Vincent Capillaire, a 24 Hours of Le Mans participant), simulation centers and training facilities (40+ rooms installed globally since 2012), automotive manufacturers and R&D labs (via CarMaker integration), and aerospace and defense customers (French Army, French Air Force, Airbus logo references), with a secondary long tail of individual sim-racing enthusiasts. Go-to-market combines direct commercial service (quote-based, custom proposals), two regional e-commerce storefronts (Europe/World and North America), the UK operator SimTechRacing, and a network of authorized distributors across Europe, Asia, America, and Oceania. The Ottawa-based North American division provides local distribution, training, and support for Canada and the United States. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales (simulators, motion platforms, actuators, accessories), with secondary streams from one-time software licenses (Prosimu Manager, SimTools integration), paid remote technical assistance, and training center sessions at the Le Mans facility.

Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers contact the commercial service for quotes and pay via credit card (PayPal), bank transfer, or check. The company holds CE certification on its PRS actuators and ISO 26262 certification on the T7 Pro, supports 100+ compatible racing and flight simulation titles, and maintains a 15+ year operating history with no external institutional funding, M&A activity, or leadership changes on record.

Direct peers

• Ansible Motion: UK-based designer of professional driving simulators (Delta, Sigma, Theta DS) for automotive R&D, motorsport, and academia. Ansible Motion overlaps directly with PROSIMU in 6-DOF vehicle dynamics simulators and competes for the same automotive OEM and racing team budgets.
• Cruden: Netherlands-based supplier of professional motorsport and vehicle dynamics simulators for OEMs, race teams, and universities. Cruden is a direct competitor to PROSIMU in 6-DOF automotive driving simulators and shares the same automotive R&D and motorsport customer base.
• D-BOX Technologies: Canadian designer and manufacturer of haptic motion systems and motion platforms for simulation, gaming, and training. D-BOX competes head-to-head with PROSIMU in motion-cueing hardware for sim racing, simulation centers, and training facilities, and has a similar actuator-centric business model.
• CXC Simulations: US maker of professional motion racing simulators (MPX and Pro-Series) targeted at professional drivers, collectors, and commercial simulation centers. CXC competes directly with PROSIMU in the high-end professional racing simulator niche and shares the enterprise + enthusiast customer mix.
• VI-Grade: Italy/UK-based provider of driving simulation software (VI-CarRealTime, VI-DriveSim) and integrated full-vehicle simulators for automotive R&D. VI-Grade competes with PROSIMU at the automotive-OEM customer layer and is a logical alternative in the same R&D/HIL workflows.
• Simcraft: US manufacturer of full-motion racing simulators (Pro SC1, SC2) used by professional drivers, sim centers, and enthusiast home users. Simcraft's modular motion platforms and PROSIMU's P3MP/P5MP/P7MP upgrade paths target the same customers upgrading static cockpits to dynamic motion.
• SimXperience: US maker of consumer-to-pro motion simulation platforms (SFX-100, Stage 5) and motion control software. SimXperience competes with PROSIMU's Motion Seat and T1000 series in the enthusiast-to-pro motion upgrade market, with a strong software-integration story.

Emerging players

• Trak Racer: Australia/New Zealand-based maker of aluminium sim racing cockpits and monitor stands with a global e-commerce footprint. Trak Racer competes with PROSIMU's T1000AL and Prosimu Motion Seat at the enthusiast/prosumer tier, often via integrated third-party motion platforms rather than proprietary actuators.
• Next Level Racing: Australia-based manufacturer of consumer and prosumer sim racing cockpits, wheels, and motion accessories (Wheel Stand, F-GT, Motion Plus). Next Level Racing overlaps with PROSIMU's T1000 Static, T1000AL, and Prosimu Motion Seat at the enthusiast end and represents the lower-priced, high-volume alternative.

Others

• IPG Automotive: German developer of CarMaker, the automotive vehicle dynamics and ADAS/AV simulation software officially integrated with PROSIMU. While not a direct hardware competitor, IPG Automotive is an ecosystem partner whose software stack defines much of PROSIMU's automotive R&D value proposition and competes with VI-Grade, rFpro, and Simulity.
