Dynisma has signed a technical partnership agreement with Dallara in a multi-million pound deal covering multiple DMG‑360XY Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) motion simulator systems.
The agreement reflects the growing role of high-fidelity simulation in motorsport engineering, as testing restrictions, cost pressures and program complexity increase across the industry.
Dynisma CEO Graeme Cook said, “Dallara’s engineering philosophy places huge value on understanding vehicle behavior and driver perception, and we are proud to support that approach as technical partner. The DMG‑360XY platform is designed to be trusted as a primary engineering tool, and this multi-simulator agreement reflects a shared commitment to realism, correlation and long-term technical excellence.”
As part of the partnership, Dallara will deploy two DMG-360XY simulators across its European and US operations. The first system is scheduled for installation at Dallara’s global headquarters in Varano de’ Melegari, Italy, during Q4 2026, with a second simulator planned for delivery to its Indianapolis facility in Q1 2027.
The DMG 360XY is Dynisma’s most advanced motion system, used by Formula 1, GT and endurance racing organizations. It combines ultra-low latency (under 5ms) with high-bandwidth response exceeding 100Hz, unlimited 360° yaw rotation and 5m of XY travel, delivering sustained motion cues without washouts or motion recentering.
By adopting identical simulator platforms across its Italian and US engineering facilities, Dallara will establish a consistent simulation environment supporting correlation, collaborative development and repeatable results across vehicle programs, driver work and longer-term research.
Andrea Pontremoli, CEO and general manager, Dallara, said, “High fidelity simulation is a strategic asset for our group. Establishing identical, top-of-the-range motion platforms in Italy and the USA supports continuity across our engineering programs and strengthens confidence in how virtual development informs real-world performance.”
Luca Bergianti, director of vehicle dynamics and performance at Dallara, said, “At Dallara, virtual development is becoming central to how we engineer our vehicles. The vehicle model now acts as the key integrator of all disciplines, allowing us to validate technical choices in a virtual environment before producing physical components.
“Advanced simulators embed virtual tools into the engineering process, helping us improve performance, uncover opportunities and anticipate issues early on. Dallara’s choice of Dynisma as a partner reflects this shared vision, as we push high-fidelity simulation, realism and development efficiency to the next level.”
As well as supporting internal development, the simulator platforms will form part of Dallara’s wider engineering infrastructure, covering long-term vehicle development, research and selected collaborative programmes.
