I'm Corey, the founder of SimTorque. I'm a UK-based sim racer, and I built this store because I kept hitting the same wall everyone else in this hobby hits, there isn't really a UK motion platforms retailer that specialises properly in this kit, engages in helping customers and has a few different options from different brands. You either order direct from manufacturers in Europe with hefty shipping costs and import fees, or you buy from generalist sites where the staff have never actually used the equipment they're selling or can't be bothered to reply to your email.

SimTorque started life as a sim racing specialist, but as the store grew and customers came to us asking about motion, it became clear where the real interest was. Motion platforms are the single biggest upgrade you can make to a simulator. Going from a static rig to a proper motion platform isn't an incremental change, it's a different experience entirely. The more I dug into the category, the more I realised it was the part of the catalogue that genuinely mattered, to customers and to me. So we narrowed the focus.

Now SimTorque is the version of a motion platform retailer I wanted to exist. Every brand we list comes through a direct relationship with the manufacturer and we provide our customers with honest, detailed advice on products and how to integrate them into their sim setup. If a 3DOF platform will serve you better than the 6DOF you came in asking about, I'll tell you. If a seat mover is the right entry point rather than a full platform, I'll say that too. The job is to help you put your budget in the right place, not the most expensive place.
