Driving the future: How D-BOX & Moza revolutionize the sim racing experience

February 27, 2024

In the fast-paced world of sim racing, every curve, bump and acceleration counts. True sim racers know that the sport is not just about speed; it’s about precision, realism and the thrill of the race! 

 

With eSport picking up more fans at a rapid rate, the technology for it is also advancing rapidly—and with it, the quest for a more lifelike experience. This is where companies such as D-BOX and MOZA come into play, shifting gears to redefine what a realistic simulated racing experience means! 

 

With D-BOX’s cutting-edge haptic technology, which is renowned for its ability to deliver precise tactile feedback through movements, vibrations and textures, and with MOZA’s constant innovation for precise and ergonomic sim racing peripherals, the virtual racing experience can be taken to new heights. 

 

In this blog, we’ll delve into the how D-BOX’s haptics and MOZA’s products complement one another to propel sim racing enthusiasts into a realm of unprecedented realism and excitement. 

 

About D-BOX

With a legacy deeply rooted in revolutionizing the entertainment industry, D-BOX has been synonymous with immersive experiences for more than 25 years. While we’re best known for our pioneering motion technology that enhances the cinematic journey, our passion for innovation extends beyond the silver screen—and into the world of sim racing! 

The first haptic system to be licensed by the prestigious Fédération Internationale de L’automobile (FIA), our motion technology provides sim racers with the most realistic haptic experience there is. Thanks to partnerships with the world’s biggest gaming studios, we can integrate our hand-coded feedback directly into the telemetry data of the most popular racing games, ensuring that your experience is as realistic as they come.  

From the rumble of engines to the texture of the terrain under the tires, every sensation is meticulously translated into physical feedback that you can use to gain back precious seconds on the track. Our commitment to precision and realism is what solidifies us as a driving force in the evolution of sim racing technology! 

About MOZA

Founded in 2012 by a team of automative engineers and seasoned sim racing drivers, MOZA Racing represents the combination of automotive expertise with a passion for virtual motorsport. As a specialized division of Gudzen MOZA, they’ve leveraged over a decade of research and development to help redefine the sim racing landscape worldwide!  

MOZA Racing is committed to delivering unparalleled realism and immersion through their racing peripherals. With a steadfast dedication to innovation and quality, they integrate their NexGen Force Feedback 2.0 into their wheelbases—which, when combined with premium materials and meticulous craftmanship—provides an immersive experience that pushes the boundaries of realism.  

Realistic simulation needs real-world experiences

Both D-BOX and MOZA share a strong commitment to authenticity, utilizing real-world experiences to refine sensations and deliver unparalleled realism.  

D-BOX’s dedication is exemplified by having ambassadors such as NASCAR’s Anthony Alfredo and Rally’s Louise Cook using their haptic systems as a training tool for their real-life races! Additionally, in order to become licensed by the FIA, D-BOX haptic systems underwent rigorous testing to ensure that they meet the stringent standards of professional racing. 

Similarly, MOZA adopts a hands-on approach to perfection by integrating real-world experiences into every aspect of their development process. By renting various real racing and performance cars and bringing them to the racetrack alongside their simulators and peripherals, they engage in the process of fine-tuning force feedback outputs to match what the real cars provide them with on the track. Additionally, they also collaborate with real-world racers across multiple disciplines, ensuring that their simulators meet the demands of professional-grade experiences.
