CXC Simulations
CXC Simulations created one of the first motion simulators designed not only for sim racing, but to serve as a training tool for amateur and professional race car drivers.
History
CXC Simulations was founded in Los Angeles in 2007 by Chris Considine. As an instructor at the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving, and a racer himself, Considine created his first simulator to enable his students to practice even if they were not able to travel to a race track.
Demand led him to launch CXC Simulations from his Los Angeles home before establishing the company’s headquarters in Hawthorne, California. In 2018 the company relocated to a larger facility in Hawthorne. CXC Simulations is also one of the very few sim racing companies to manufacture its product in-house.
Chris is the son of noted automotive journalist and actor Tim Considine.
Simulator
The Motion Pro II is a full-motion racing simulator that relies on a low-mass system and proprioception to create an accurate racing simulation. It also converts into a flight simulator.
To create as realistic a racing simulation as possible, the Motion Pro II uses a racing seat, hydraulic braking system, direct-drive wheel, seatbelt tensioners, wrap-around screens and Virtual Reality. However, unlike other sim companies, CXC manufactures and assembles virtually all of its hardware and software in-house.
It utilizes a variety of simulator platforms including iRacing and Assetto Corsa, as well as Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Other projects
The company has worked on numerous simulation projects for customers, including a full-size short-course truck, full-size Formula 1 replica simulators, a simulator for the autonomous racing series Roborace and a two-seat full motion simulator built on a Radical SR3. CXC Simulations has also produced simulators to assist in driver training for federal law enforcement.
Noted Drivers
Numerous professional racing drivers have used the Motion Pro II for driver training, including:
