Dynisma has announced that it has installed a driving simulator at BWT Alpine Formula One Team’s Enstone HQ. The installation was completed in 2025 and supported the team’s preparation for the 2026 Formula 1 technical regulations.
Dynisma’s motion generator technology provides a highly realistic driver-in-the-loop simulation environment, combining sub-5ms latency, bandwidth of up to 100Hz, sustained lateral motion and unlimited yaw capability. This enables drivers and engineers to evaluate vehicle behavior with a high degree of realism and repeatability, supporting trusted correlation across development activity.
With teams now actively developing cars under the current regulation set, simulation continues to play a central role in supporting fast, informed decision-making. At Enstone, the Dynisma simulator supports correlation with track data, wind tunnel results and CFD analysis, while also enabling detailed work to understand the behavior and interaction of the 2026 regulations covering powertrain, aerodynamics and tires.
The simulator is being used to support car development, setup evaluation and driver preparation during the 2026 season and will continue to form a core part of the team’s technical capability in future seasons.
BWT Alpine Formula One Team commented, “The 2026 Formula 1 regulations are a big departure from anything that we had before and required completely new cars in every aspect. Simulator work is a core part of how we develop and refine the car across multiple areas and is especially useful when there are such big changes. Driver-in-the-loop simulation helps us to understand vehicle and system behaviors and to connect driver feedback with our wider engineering data. Dynisma’s motion technology provides a realistic and repeatable environment that supports that process and underpins informed decision-making throughout the season.”
Ash Warne, the founder and CTO of Dynisma, added, “In all forms of vehicle development, simulation needs to deliver realism and trusted correlation if it is to add real value. That depends on a true 1:1 response between what drivers and engineers experience in the simulator and what is seen in track data, wind tunnel testing and CFD. We are pleased to see this capability being used by BWT Alpine Formula One Team as a client, supporting confident decision-making across a complex development program under the current regulations.”
