From Slovenia to abroad: a simulator that also drains the body of a trained athlete #video

The article discusses the Slovenian-developed simulator 'Gravitom' used by professional race car driver Mark Kastelic for training in GT3 racing. The simulator creates realistic physical sensations through forces up to 6G, mimicking the experience of driving in a race car. Unlike other simulators that move the cabin, Gravitom keeps the cabin stationary but uses advanced systems to simulate forces felt primarily in the head and neck, allowing for rapid reaction times. Kastelic trains in full racing gear, leading to noticeable physical effects such as weight loss during intense sessions. The system also includes vibration effects and enables communication between the driver and support engineers, enhancing realism and preparing drivers for real-world conditions. The simulator is part of Slovenia's growing expertise in automotive simulation technology.
