The S3 extends the motion space from a metre out to four metres in both the lateral and longitudinal direction
Kia Cammaerts, founder and technical director at Ansible Motion

Ansible Motion, the British company based in Hethel, Norfolk, recently introduced its latest motion simulator, the Delta S3. A version is already installed at Honda in Japan, with further commissions by such companies as BMW Motorsport and Continental Tyres.

The Delta S3, which also caters to NASCAR, IndyCar, the World Rally Championship and others, differs from its predecessors in that it has four metre lateral and longitudinal axes that offer a wealth of advantages, especially in the hybrid and electric arenas. That makes it particularly suitable for use in series such as Formula E and Extreme E.

Another feature of the Delta S3 is a much higher yaw capability, making it ideal for Rally applications too, while also helping drivers maintain a greater sense of realism within the simulator in extreme and unexpected events, such as spins.
