What is a wind simulator?
A wind simulator provides controlled airflow inside a racing simulator, either constant or dynamic. It improves immersion by recreating the feeling of air moving in a real car cockpit, while increasing comfort, reducing heat buildup, and helping the driver stay focused during long sessions. Beyond airflow, the motors can also generate subtle vibrations that add a tactile layer of immersion inside the cockpit. When airflow is linked to in-game speed, the increase in motor noise at higher speeds naturally reinforces the sensation of speed, much like in a real car.

G Seat, Motion platform, but missing the physical connection to the track's atmosphere.
Heat builds fatigue. Don’t let comfort limit your performance. Stay cool, focused, and consistent during those grueling long stints.
