Sim-rig innovation · Engineered by Smadja Studios

Built, not bought.

SimDriven is Adam Smadja's sim-rig workshop, home of world firsts and first-of-their-kind builds: digital dashboards, gauge clusters, center consoles, exhausts, diffusers and haptics. Each one is designed, built and driven on his own rig first, then made to order, exclusively, for yours.

02 Drawing board

Every build starts with an idea and a drawing.

Long before anything is made, each build is sketched, drawn and refined: the brackets, the mounts, the frame, the way the whole tail of the rig comes together.

The builds

World firsts.

Innovation, built where nothing existed to buy. Each one is made to order, one rig at a time, and nowhere else.

03 Dashboards & gauge clusters

A first-of-its-kind blueprint dashboard

One screen, the whole car.

RACECORE is a full digital dashboard and the control center of the rig. It draws the car you're driving as a technical blueprint and lights every system around it as the stage goes on: engine water and oil, gearbox, differential, tyres, brakes, ride height. Change the car and the layout changes with it.

Switch it on above: press the power button on the screen, then change cars and flip the lights.

A gauge cluster, first of its kind

The gauge cluster, up close.

Thirteen instruments, each drawn by its own firmware or light matrix: pressure bars that prime and settle, a friction circle that learns your grip, temperatures that warm and soak like a real engine.

01 Oil pressure
02 Fuel pressure
03 Chrono Matrix
04 Weather Matrix
05 G-force
06 Tachometer
07 Speedometer
08 Gear & shift light
09 Brake light
10 Boost & volts
11 Thermal monitor
12 Stage progress
13 Gear display

The instrument panel, as it sits on the rig

Center console. Control center. Gauge pod.

On the rig the gauge cluster lives in three dash modules designed around it, every screen flush with the face: the control center up top carries the pressures, clock, weather and G-force; the center console below carries the boost, the stage bar, the temperatures and the gear display, framed by the driver's nameplate and two WRC badges; the gauge pod holds the tachometer and speedometer side by side.

A first-of-its-kind phone dashboard

Two phones, two digital dashboards.

Two phones on the rig work as digital dashboards, each in a rally-style frame that hides the phone and makes it read as an instrument. The wide one sits above the wheel with a brow and side visors and runs a race dash around a chrome-ringed tachometer. The tall one rides beside the wheel in the Rally Slash case and runs a rally dash: rev lights, gear, delta, lap times, car switches, all four tyres and the driver aids.

The race dash: a phone in landscape inside its visored rally frame, studio render — **Race dash.** Landscape, above the wheel. Made for the iPhone 14 Pro.

The rally dash: a phone in portrait inside the Rally Slash case with its red rally slashes, studio render — **Rally dash.** Portrait, beside the wheel. Made for the iPhone 6.

04 Lighting FX

The world's first sim-rig exhaust

Lift off. The exhaust answers.

Lift off at high revs and the tips answer: a white-hot crack, an ember that fades to red, sometimes a second pop right behind it. Each tip fires on its own, so the pops roll across the tail of the rig, and the brake light between them glows with every stop.

Exclusive to SimDriven. Made to order.

05 The innovation lab

Measured, drawn, redrawn.

Every build is measured on the rig, drawn and redrawn from its CAD, and made again until it fits. Nothing leaves the bench on the first try, and the pile of rejects proves it.
