Next Level Racing Traction Plus

Breathtaking realism and performance! Incredible immersion and precision! Superior technology, engineering and manufacturing…introducing the Next Level Racing Traction Plus Motion Platform.

Traction Plus is truly a world class product. It is intended to close the gap between real motorsport and simulation, through a product and experience like no other simulator before it. The sliding concept and technology has until now only been available to top-level professional racing teams, often with budgets in the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.

Traction Plus has been designed and developed in collaboration with a world-class engineering team to provide an unrivaled driving experience. To achieve the ultimate realism and precision, this required completely unique technology and engineering with a product designed from scratch over 4 years that included over 2,000 components. The platform is designed and developed solely for simulation, not simply for using commercial actuators and adapting to simulation. Traction Plus is more than a traction loss simulation system. It is designed to be combined with the V3 motion platform to provide an innovative motion simulator experience.

Maximum realistic feedback

Traction Plus moves the entire cockpit and provides sensations such as understeer and oversteer in the most realistic and precise way possible.

Based on feedback from professional sim racers during product development, the understeer component of the motion platform, typically only found in 6DOF systems, is absolutely critical to accurately and precisely simulating the vehicle. Sensing both understeer and oversteer, the platform can be effectively used for driver/racer training, especially for cornering and rallying, sensing what is happening to both the rear and front axle of the car. Even the differences between rear-wheel drive, front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles can be felt with the precise feedback provided through the Traction Plus platform. Motion Platform V3 and Traction Plus combine to provide precise feedback for the car to lock the front wheels, meaning you'll feel vibrations as well as the front of the car sliding out of the turn when too much braking is applied pressure. (applicable also to blocking the rear wheels depending on the deviation of the vehicle).

Traction Plus combined with the Next Level Racing® Motion Platform V3 provides incredible levels of vehicle feedback to the driver to feel exactly what the vehicle is doing by precisely delivering roll, wave, roll, pitch, understeer and loss front traction, rear oversteer and loss of traction, power slip and drift, partial lift, vehicle and road effects such as road surface, bumps, wheel lock and spin, gear shifting, etc. and maneuvering effects (to sense contact when side-impacted by opponents or a wall).

Innovation and technology

The design, engineering and technology of the Traction Plus is completely innovative and you will expect the same level of quality and durability with this product as with the Motion Platform V3. Designed and manufactured entirely in Europe and powered by MotionSystems, the Traction Plus platform is a world-class product. With the home user in mind as well, painstaking engineering has been carried out to not only set the benchmark for performance, but also to ensure that Traction Plus (as the Motion Platform V3) is the quietest motion platform in its class with the most small print.

Custom settings with one click

Traction Plus comes bundled with Next Level Racing Platform control software, specially designed for the V3 and Traction Plus platforms, using telemetry data to give the most realistic and accurate platform signals. It is a professional software developed by the world's leading physical motion reproduction engineers, ensuring absolute precision in providing lag-free, real-time game feedback. Although it is a professional software, it is designed to be used even by beginners with an easy-to-use control panel to start your game and you can change all the settings with a click of the mouse button. For those users who like to handle more with each setting, profiles for the platform are highly customizable. Having strong relationships with software developers behind racing and aircraft titles allows for constant updates and compatible titles to be added to the Next Level Racing Platform manager as new games are released.

Developed and designed specifically for simulation

Both Traction Plus and Motion Platform V3 are designed to provide the most realistic, immersive and accurate simulation experience and together provide a new benchmark in the motion simulation experience. These are not just a new propulsion solution, but a complete adaptation of the operation of the actuators to be used for simulation. These are both products designed and built from scratch for advanced simulation and professional applications only, capable of providing precise feedback to the driver or pilot.

The Next Level Racing Traction Plus platform combined with VR is simply an amazing experience for both racing and flying, as well as entertainment software such as roller coasters or motorboats! Some of our favorite titles include Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally, iRacing, Project Cars and Xplane.
