There are two big highlights to our booth this year; one, is the technical demo of the Gran Turismo 6 motion simulator we are developing in cooperation with Access Inc. The other is an exhibit of movies and panels for the numerous Vision Gran Turismo projects that were presented to everyone starting in 2013 as a 15th anniversary celebration project.
In the field of racing simulators, various manufacturers are pursuing realism using a variety of different approaches. How to make a person feel realistic simulated G-Force; The Access Simulator “ACSIM-S07F” developed collaboratively is a powerful, luxurious system using 7 actuating cylinders. The 4 cylinder connected to the mainframe is used to simulate roll and pitch, and on the back of the bucket seat are two cylinders which enables 3 dimensional movement. And one element particular to this system, is the 7th cylinder which was added to simulate the feel of traction, situated horizontally at the bottom of the seat back.
By moving the bottom of the seat back (the hips of the driver), the feel of traction is simulated. The movements of this single cylinder conveys the feel of “tail slides”, an important piece of information for a driver. The seat itself never moves in a real car, but they are expressing this feel in a unique approach.
In addition, the brake system using hydraulics will actually operate a caliper through a real master cylinder when pressure is applied on the boot pedal, and its feel is exactly that of a racing car. So compared to a typical home steering system, brake control is sensitive and heavy. Being a very expensive simulator unit, there’s not many opportunities to experience its feel, so if you are visiting the motor show, please visit the Gran Turismo Booth! (Located to the right of the central gate, at the Event Plaza).
In this motion simulator, you can test drive Toyota’s new generation “S-FR” light weight sports concept that is being presented for the first time at the Tokyo Motor Show 2015; in a special limited edition of Gran Turismo 6 made for the show.
* The motion simulator presented at the Gran Turismo booth is a special development prototype, and the S-FR is planned for inclusion in a future version of the Gran Turismo series.

Meanwhile at the Nissan Booth (West Exhibition Hall 2), the full scale model of the “Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo” is being displayed for the first time in a new exterior body color, “Fire Knight”. In addition, the design of the front section has been further refined in this version. Though this version will not be included in Gran Turismo 6, you can drive it in the demo at the Nissan Booth.
