Thermaltake, SensitHaptics and Nürburgring eSports have all confirmed that they will attend this year’s SimRacing Expo Frankfurt, 16th-18th October.
Nürburgring eSports is a successful chain of sim centres aimed at the social side of sim racing, featuring food and drinks and high-tech cockpits (location-dependent). Venues across Germany and Switzerland offer in-house championships to compete in, as well as more casual offerings, all framed with authentic Nürburgring Nordschleife branding.
Thermaltake is a hardware manufacturer specialising in designing and building PCs and their associated components. Founded in Taiwan in 1999, Thermaltake is now a leading global supplier of gaming and sim equipment.
SensitHaptics, on the other hand, produces German-built pads and seats loaded with immersive haptic feedback devices. The brand’s bucket seats feature vibration-producing motors that simulate the rigours of race car driving using its proprietary metahaptics system.
SimRacing Expo Frankfurt takes place between the 16th and 18th October 2026 and features some of the industry’s biggest hitters. So far, hardware giants Fanatec, Moza and Asetek have all pledged to attend, while Project Motor Racing and Rennsport will represent sim software. The full list of confirmed exhibitors is available here.
This year’s Expo will also feature a live stage element, which is set to feature guest speakers, and will also showcase the live in-person final of Rennsport’s R1 esports competition, where top sim racing teams battle it out for a share of a €10,000 prize pool.
Tickets are now on sale for SimRacing Expo Frankfurt, taking place between the 16th and 18th October 2026 in Hall 2 of the Frankfurt Messe.
