Dynisma has confirmed a significant new partnership with Dallara, agreeing a multi-million, multi-simulator deal that underlines how central driver-in-the-loop technology has become to modern race-car development.
The agreement will see two DMG360XY motion systems deployed across Dallara’s operations in Europe and the United States. The first installation is planned for Dallara’s headquarters in Varano de’ Melegari, Italy, in the final quarter of 2026, before a second unit follows at the company’s Indianapolis facility in early 2027.
For Dallara, the move creates a matched simulation environment across its two principal engineering bases. That consistency matters: identical hardware allows engineers working on different continents to compare results directly, reducing variables between virtual development programmes.
Dallara’s role across the racing ladder gives the deal obvious weight. The Italian company is the sole chassis supplier for IndyCar, Formula 2, Formula 3 and Japanese Super Formula, and has also been the manufacturing partner for the Haas F1 Team since 2016.

Dynisma’s DMG360XY is its flagship platform and is already trusted by several Formula 1 teams, as well as leading GT and endurance racing organisations. The Bristol-based company was founded in 2017 by Ash Warne, a former F1 simulator engineer who previously led simulator programmes at Ferrari and McLaren.
Dynisma CEO Graeme Cook said: “Dallara’s engineering philosophy places huge value on understanding vehicle behaviour and driver perception, and we are proud to support that approach as Technical Partner.”
He added: “The DMG360XY 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.”
Three specifications define the system: latency of less than five milliseconds, motion bandwidth exceeding 100 Hz, and unlimited 360-degree yaw rotation combined with five metres of ground-plane travel.
The yaw capability is particularly important. Traditional simulators must periodically reset their rotation, creating false physical cues that can weaken the correlation between simulator and track. Dynisma says the DMG360XY removes that limitation entirely.
Dallara framed the investment as a performance decision, stating: “High fidelity simulation is a strategic asset for our group. Establishing identical, top of the range motion platforms in Italy and the United States supports continuity across our engineering programmes and strengthens confidence in how virtual development informs real world performance.”
In an environment where physical testing is increasingly constrained, Dallara’s message is clear: the future of vehicle development is being built in the simulator.
