About This Event
SimRacing Expo is a three day fair for virtual motorsport, filling Hall 12 at Messe Frankfurt with racing, motorbike and flight simulators from entry level rigs to full motion setups. The hardware makers show their new wheels, pedals and cockpits on the floor and on a stage that runs all day.
1What to Expect
The 2027 expo runs Friday 17 to Sunday 19 September in Hall 12 at Messe Frankfurt, open 10:00 to 18:00 each day.
On show: racing, motorbike and flight simulators, pedals, steering wheels, full motion rigs, software, virtual reality headsets and haptic seats.
In 2026 every rig on the floor was free to try, from entry level setups to the simulators pro teams use, and Assetto Corsa EVO Free Roam was playable before its release.
A stage program runs through each day. The 2027 program and exhibitor list are not announced yet.
