Question 1

What goes into the cost of a Vthrotl simulator?

Accepted Answer

Vthrotl simulators are turnkey systems built using high-quality sim racing hardware and tailored to the individual client, rather than offered as a one-size-fits-all package. The cost reflects not only the hardware itself, but also the time and expertise involved in component selection, assembly, configuration and testing, along with delivery, installation, driver fitting, training and support after delivery. Each system is built around the client’s space, intended use and driving goals, with the final configuration determined by the requirements of the build.

Question 2

What is included with a complete Vthrotl simulator?

Accepted Answer

Each Vthrotl simulator is built to order around the client, the available space and the type of driving they want to focus on. A complete build can include the chassis, seat, steering hardware, pedals, display, computer or console, audio, motion where applicable, and the software needed to bring everything together. Assembly, testing, delivery, professional installation and hands-on training are included, so the simulator is delivered as a complete solution rather than a collection of individual components.

Question 3

Do you build both console and PC-based simulators?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Vthrotl builds both console-based and PC-based racing simulators, depending on the client’s goals, intended use and preferred type of driving. Console-based systems offer a straightforward way to enjoy high-end sim racing, while PC-based builds provide greater flexibility, broader software support and access to more advanced hardware options, including integrated motion systems. Both can be developed as complete, made-to-order solutions with delivery, installation and hands-on training included.

Question 4

Can a Vthrotl simulator be upgraded?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Vthrotl simulators are built around hardware and chassis platforms that allow many components to be upgraded or changed over time. Depending on the system, future upgrades can include steering hardware, pedals, displays, PC components, accessories and motion. This allows the simulator to evolve as your interests or needs change without necessarily replacing the entire system.

Question 5

Can I add a motion system to my simulator later on?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many Vthrotl builds are designed with future motion upgrades in mind. The ASR 4 and ASR Pro chassis we commonly use are both well suited to motion systems, allowing clients to add motion later without replacing the main chassis. Depending on the configuration, a compatible motion system can be added as part of a future upgrade. Vthrotl can also provide installation and setup services if you would prefer the upgrade to be professionally handled.

Question 6

Is hands-on training included?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hands-on training is included with every complete Vthrotl simulator build. Once installation is complete, we walk you through the controls, software and basic operation so you feel comfortable using the simulator. A user guide is also provided as part of the leave-behind package, outlining the normal startup, usage and shutdown procedures. If questions come up after delivery, clients can contact Vthrotl for support. Remote support is also available for PC-based systems where applicable.

Question 7

What is the turnaround time for a turnkey simulator?

Accepted Answer

The typical turnaround time for a turnkey simulator is about 4 to 6 weeks. Because each system is built to order, time is required for hardware procurement, assembly, configuration and testing. Product availability or custom requirements can affect the schedule, and clients are kept updated throughout the build.

Question 8

Why can't I buy a simulator directly from your site? Why do I need a quote?

Accepted Answer

Each simulator we build is tailored to the individual, so there isn’t a one-size-fits-all configuration. Our Core, Enthusiast, Pro and Ultimate Series provide clear starting points, but each can be built upon and adapted around the available space, intended use, driving interests and level of performance required. While our online shop offers a selection of sim racing hardware and upgrades, complete turnkey simulators are quoted individually so Vthrotl can recommend the right combination of hardware and services for each project.

Question 9

Do you build racing simulators for businesses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Vthrotl works with businesses, automotive and motorsport organizations on racing simulator projects tailored to their needs. Depending on the application, this can include customer engagement, training, demonstrations, events or other specialized uses. Each project is approached individually based on the space, intended use and performance requirements.

Question 10

What is the service area for Vthrotl Simulators?

Accepted Answer

Vthrotl Simulators primarily serves clients throughout Southern and Southwestern Ontario. Projects outside our primary service area may also be considered depending on the location and scope of the installation.
