“Simulate to Stimulate”
In today’s highly competitive world of
racing you need all the help you can
get.
Racers spend large amounts of time
and money at the track. The team
that wins consistently spends as much
time preparing as racing.
Simulation tools are proven to improve
performance while saving time and
money. Don’t take our word for it try
it for yourself.

“KS1000” Go Kart Simulator The idea of the KS1000 began as many others
have by using what we had around the house. So
we grabbed one of our chassis and began adapt-
ing controls to it. This proved somewhat effective
although not popular with Melissa who didn’t like
having a large object in front of our big screen
TV. The solution, build a compact chassis with
everything built in from the game console to the
TV. We also decided we
needed something that
was portable and self con-
tained for our race
trailer. What we came up
with was the KS1000 Proto-
type.
Making it Real The KS1000 was developed to replicate our kart
chassis as closely as possible. This meant spend-
ing hours working on seating, hand and foot posi-
tion. Once we had the dimensions correct we
needed to make it feel real. We focused on pedal
feedback first, by measuring the spring tensions
and travels of our Race Karts we were able to cre-
ate the feel of the gas pedal. The greater chal-
lenge came in recreation of the brake feel. By
using a little common sense and many hours of
testing feedback from many racers we now have
the real feel of the brake caliper on a rotor.
Today you can find simulators in almost
every walk of life. We all know about flight
simulators, but how many people know that
professional truck drivers use multi million
dollar simulators. These simulators are de-
signed to teach safe
driving but did you
know it is also proven
to save fuel. The US
Military uses simula-
tors to teach tank
drivers and battle
field commanders.
All of these have one
thing in common, it is
very expensive and
in many cases impossible to train any other
way.
Ask yourself the following questions; How
much does it cost to run a single day of
practice at the track? How much time do
you spend preparing your driver vs your
equipment?
