Sim-rig atelier · Engineered by Smadja Studios

Built, not bought.

SimDriven is Adam Smadja's sim-rig atelier, home of world firsts and first-of-their-kind builds: digital dashboards, gauge clusters, center consoles, exhausts, diffusers and haptics. Each one is built and driven on his own rig first, then made to order, exclusively, for yours.

The builds

World firsts. Only at SimDriven.

Built where nothing existed to buy. Each one is made to order, one rig at a time, and nowhere else.

  1. The octagonal backfire exhaust tip, studio render

    The world's first sim-rig exhaust

    Backfire Exhaust Tip

    Octagonal tips that crack, pop and glow down with the revs.

    A sim-rig engine, first of its kind

    Front engine unit

    An engine you feel idle and rev through the frame.

02 Dashboards & gauge clusters

A first-of-its-kind blueprint dashboard

One screen, the whole car.

RACECORE is a full digital dashboard and the control center of the rig. It draws the car you're driving as a technical blueprint and lights every system around it as the stage goes on: engine water and oil, gearbox, differential, tyres, brakes, ride height. Change the car and the layout changes with it.

Switch it on above: press the power button on the screen, then change cars and flip the lights.

A gauge cluster, first of its kind

The gauge cluster, up close.

Twelve instruments, each drawn by its own firmware or light matrix: pressure bars that prime and settle, a friction circle that learns your grip, temperatures that warm and soak like a real engine.

  • 01 Oil pressure

  • 02 Fuel pressure

  • 03 Chrono Matrix

  • Weather Matrix gauge

    04 Weather Matrix

  • 05 G-force

  • 06 Tachometer

  • 07 Gear & shift light

  • 08 Brake cue

  • 09 Boost & volts

  • 10 Thermal monitor

  • 11 Stage progress

  • 12 Gear display

The instrument panel, as it sits on the rig

Center console. Control center.

On the rig the gauge cluster lives in two dash modules designed around it, every screen flush with the face: the control center up top carries the pressures, clock, weather and G-force; the center console below carries the boost, the stage bar, the temperatures and the gear display, framed by the driver's nameplate and two WRC badges.

03 Lighting FX

The world's first sim-rig exhaust

Lift off. The exhaust answers.

Lift off at high revs and the tips answer: a white-hot crack, an ember that fades to red, sometimes a second pop right behind it. Each tip fires on its own, so the pops roll across the tail of the rig, and the brake light between them glows with every stop.

Exclusive to SimDriven. Made to order.

04 The cockpit

One rig, every part tested on it.

A Sim-Lab GT1 EVO in Adam's studio. Nothing appears on SimDriven until it has been fitted here and driven through a stage.

05 The lab

Measured, drawn, redrawn.

Every part starts with calipers on the desk and ends with a fit check on the rig. Every screen is redrawn until it reads at a glance at speed.

Oil pressure gauge, version 1
Version 1
Oil pressure gauge, version 2, with light that flows along the bar
Version 2
Oil pressure. The bar learned to breathe with the revs, and the digits got smoother.
G-force gauge, version 1, with four fixed markers
Version 1
G-force gauge, version 2, drawing the driver's grip envelope
Version 2
G-force. Four fixed markers became the shape of your grip in every direction.
  • Calipers measuring a part for the center console
  • Calipers taking a diameter on the desk
  • Measuring a ring beside the keyboard
  • A part fitted to the rig's profile

06 Drawing board

Worked out on paper first.

Every part is drawn before it is made: the brackets, the mounts, the frame, the way the whole tail of the rig comes together.
