The extensive motion capability of the Delta S3 provides exceptional motion fidelity for track driving, allowing cued simulation of the large onset and sustained g-forces demanded by the teams’ proprietary vehicle and tyre physics models, and effortlessly accommodates simultaneous braking, accelerating and turning events – common on the tight street circuits which feature prominently on the Formula E calendar. The proprietary Quick-change Cabin System reduces cabin/cockpit swap times to under 30 minutes and can accommodate up to a 700kg payload.


The Delta S3 was rigorously evaluated by


Penske Autosport to confirm all areas of dynamic performance such as motion control and cueing, latency and frequency response. An added benefit from Penske Autosport’s perspective is that installation of the Delta S3 simulator did not require floor reinforcements or significant groundwork, minimising installation costs and leading to its quick operational status. Penske Autosport also identified other technical and cost advantages from Ansible Motion’s presence within the larger AB Dynamics group. Technical benefits include

seamless integration reach into other areas and tools, including rFpro – the world’s most realistic, engineering-grade visual simulation environment. rFpro delivers accurate track surface modelling and visual content that, when coupled with Ansible Motion’s vision, motion and audio systems, maximises driver immersion and, ultimately, real-world physics correlation. Penske Autosport’s new rFpro- equipped Delta S3 simulator environment will allow trackside engineers to relay feedback to the team’s ‘mission control’ to easily update digital twin track models during race weekends. Necessary, on-demand changes – such as adding a new bump or kerb placement – can be achieved in around 30 minutes. “Human-vehicle interaction a key part of optimising performance, and that is a real differentiator for on-track success in Formula E,” says Dan Clark, managing director at Ansible Motion. “Our Delta S3 simulator is proving to be quite versatile, and unique, in that it’s being widely adopted by both vehicle manufacturers and top motorsport teams who are seeking to successfully connect real people with virtual development environments. We are


delighted to supply Penske Autosport with a turn-key Delta S3 ecosystem that meets the team’s needs today and into the future. Drawing on the skills and integration capabilities within the wider AB Dynamics group, we are able to deliver this simulator – with unrivalled performance and value – in record time to support Penske Autosport in its pursuit of excellence.”


Ansible Motion has over 14 years of experience delivering high-dynamics, high- fidelity, high-precision driving simulators to support success on and off track, at every level of professional motorsport including F1, WRC, WEC, NASCAR, INDYCAR and Formula E. Manufactured in the UK at Ansible Motion’s expanded facility, Penske Autosport’s new Delta S3 simulator was delivered in the first week of May 2024, six months after order placement, and is already operational as the team competes in Formula E’s tenth season.


The acquisition of the DIL simulator underlines


Penske Autosport’s commitment to progress and achieving greater success.
