SimRacing Expo Frankfurt 2026 - Friday Tickets
SimRacing Expo 2025, formerly known as the ADAC SimRacing Expo, remains the world’s leading event for sim racing enthusiasts and for everyone looking to dive into the world of virtual motorsport. For more than a decade, the expo has thrilled sim racers, motorsport fans, and industry experts alike. After the major anniversary in 2024, the 2025 event set new benchmarks: with 24,371 visitors, 74 exhibitors, and 30 hardware and software premieres, the Expo reached record numbers and made the future of digital racing truly tangible.
In 2026, everything once again revolves around innovation, passion, and community. Across more than eleven thousand square meters, visitors were able to discover, test, and purchase state-of-the-art hardware — from pedals and steering wheels to full-motion simulators — as well as innovative software solutions and premium racing accessories. Beyond technology, the Expo offers direct interaction with leading manufacturers, developers, and content creators, making it a central meeting point for the international sim racing scene.
One of the standout highlights in 2025 was once again the extensive stage program, featuring over twenty hours of entertainment, knowledge, and expert discussions. Well-known brands such as Project Motor Racing, iRacing, Rennsport, Kunos Simulazioni, VRS, and Simucube took to the stage. The event was further energized by personalities like Ben “The Stig” Collins, Misha Charoudin, Jimmy Broadbent, and Steve “SuperGT” Alvarez Brown, who shared exciting insights into their world of virtual motorsport.
Real race cars also added a spectacular dimension to the Expo. In 2025, visitors could admire vehicles such as the Aston Martin GT3, Porsche 911 GT3, Ford Mustang GT3, LMP2 and LMP3 prototypes, as well as Garret Lowe’s EURO NASCAR, all showcased live on site. A special highlight was the world premiere of Assetto Corsa Rally, which caused a major stir and marked an important moment in sim racing history.
Whether you are an experienced sim racer, an ambitious newcomer, or a motorsport fan, SimRacing Expo 2026 offers every visitor an unforgettable experience. Here, reality and virtuality merge, and technology and emotion come together in an event that celebrates the passion for racing in a truly unique way.
SimRacing Expo impressively proves that sim racing is far more than a digital hobby — it is a global phenomenon that connects people, brands, and innovation. Anyone who wants to experience the fascination of motorsport up close cannot miss this event.

The world’s largest exhibition for virtual motorsport!
The SimRacing Expo, formerly known as the ADAC SimRacing Expo, is the ultimate event for all fans of virtual motorsport, also known as “sim racing”.
Since its founding in 2014 at the Nürburgring, the Expo has grown into the world’s largest trade show dedicated to sim racing, bringing together thousands of visitors, leading manufacturers, key organizations, and the global sim racing community every year.
Our History – The Vision of a Global Meeting Point
More than a decade ago, the SimRacing Expo began with a clear mission: to provide a platform for exchange within the world of virtual racing.
Since then, the event has evolved from a niche gathering into the internationally recognized leading exhibition for sim racing. At its 10th anniversary in 2024, over 80 exhibitors from 20 different nations were represented, while visitors from around the world have firmly placed the event on their annual calendars.
In the following year, the SimRacing Expo set a new attendance record with more than 24,000 visitors, placing it among the top three gaming exhibitions in Germany.
Not least, the event has attracted such large audiences in recent years because game and hardware developers use this community festival as a stage to celebrate world premieres, such as the exclusive press release event for Assetto Corsa Rally, followed by its global unveiling the next day.
