SimRacing Expo 2025 in Dortmund

SimRacing Expo 2025 will take place from October 17 to 19, 2025, at Messe Dortmund (Hall 3) and is considered the world's largest trade fair for SimRacing fans and professionals. It combines real motorsport with a virtual racing experience on an impressive 10,000 m² of exhibition space filled with hardware, software, and racing atmosphere.

The focus is on the following main topics:

• High-performance SimRacing hardware (simulators, racing seats, steering stations)
• Software solutions: racing simulations, tracking, telemetry, and setup tools
• Real-to-virtual experience: presentation of real race cars (e.g., Porsche 911 GT3R, Mercedes-AMG GT3, LMP3, Formula E)
• Content creators & community interaction: meet-and-greets, live streams, and scene activities
• Workshops, live demos, and shopping area with accessories and exclusive offers

The expo brings together the global SimRacing community—from beginners to professionals—and offers numerous showcases of high-quality simulator systems, new software, and official merchandising. Particularly worth seeing are the real racing cars, which not only make fans' hearts beat faster, but also impressively demonstrate the connection between virtual and real motorsport. In addition, content creators and community groups offer live interaction, autograph sessions, streams, and hands-on opportunities on site.

According to the organizers, the fair is expected to attract 13,600 visitors and 84 exhibitors – a clear signal of the growing importance and reach of the SimRacing scene. It is designed as a trade and public event and enables direct dialogue with manufacturers, developers, streamers, and other players in the scene.
