Ansible Motion has expanded its partnership with Penske Autosport with the delivery of four new Theta Seat Sport simulators. After installing Ansible Motion’s Delta S3 DIL simulator in 2024, Penske Autosport expanded its testing capabilities with multiple simulators.
This new five-simulator setup enables the driver of the existing Ansible Motion Delta S3 simulator at DS Penske – featuring full dynamics, 48K image rendering, a full 360° wrap-around screen and real Formula E cockpit – to interact virtually in real-time on-track with four drivers in separate Theta Seat Sport simulators.
Also supporting the multi-sim setup is advanced software from AVL RACETECH, a long-standing partner of Ansible Motion, which facilitates integration across multiple simulators through its vehicle modeling network.
Theta Seat is part of Ansible Motion’s range of static and compact DIL simulators for virtual system integration and vehicle development. The new Sport variant, the first model in Ansible Motion’s motorsport series, is designed for motorsport applications with a high-performance computational architecture that supports detailed vehicle and environment models and enables networking with multiple DIL simulators.
Theta Seat Sport features a modular base structure that can be configured for different race series. It ranges from basic setups with gaming-standard controls to advanced configurations with professional racing equipment, including options for additional steering, pedal, and harness feedback systems.
Compatible with high-performance driving simulation software from rFpro, the system provides accurate track simulations for Formula E, improving the driving experience with advanced visual, motion, and audio systems.
Manufactured in the UK at Ansible Motion’s facility, Penske Autosport’s new Theta Seat Sport simulators were delivered in January 2025, 3 months after order placement, and are now in use for the team’s Formula E season.
Ansible Motion has 14 years of experience developing advanced driving simulators for use in motorsport development and training across professional series, including F1, WRC, WEC, NASCAR, INDYCAR, and Formula E.
