Bristol, UK, 11th December 2025
Dynisma Ltd.® has completed the installation of a DMG-1 driving simulator (Dynisma Motion Generator) at the Nissan Formula E Team’s facility in the Paris area, France. The new system is already enabling driver preparation and engineering work for Season 12 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, which opened in São Paulo last weekend with a strong podium result for the team.
The installation follows the announcement of Dynisma as Nissan Formula E Team’s Official Simulator Partner last year. The simulator will be used extensively across the season for car setup, software validation, powertrain development and race-weekend preparation, as well as the early development programme for the 600 kW GEN4 car arriving in Season 13.
Nissan Formula E Team, whose driver Oliver Rowland claimed the Formula E Drivers’ World Championship title last season, will use the DMG-1 driving simulator across a wide range of Formula E applications including energy management, strategy development, tyre and balance optimisation, circuit familiarisation, next-season vehicle model validation and full virtual race simulations.
These capabilities are enabled by Dynisma Motion Generator (DMG) technology, engineered for exceptionally high correlation and accuracy. With ultra-low latency motion response of 4–5 ms and high bandwidth above 50 Hz from primary motion, the DMG-1 provides the precision and responsiveness required for detailed setup work and engineering analysis. This is especially valuable in Formula E where physical testing is limited, allowing the team to run earlier, more accurate development cycles and arrive better prepared for each E-Prix.
Tommaso Volpe, Managing Director and Team Principal, Nissan Formula E Team, said: “The decision to invest in a new simulator was taken when we committed to GEN4 and therefore to Formula E as a long-term project. We knew a high-performance Driver-in-the-Loop system would make a significant difference, and Dynisma offered the strongest solution for our needs. With Formula E’s limited physical testing, the ability to run highly accurate simulations is crucial not only for race preparation but also for car and powertrain development. This new simulator is already helping us accelerate our engineering process, validate software and optimise the car long before we reach the circuit.”
Dorian Boisdron, Team Director, Nissan Formula E Team, said: “As part of our performance development, we benchmarked several systems and chose Dynisma to ensure we had the highest precision and best possible preparation tool. This season will be even more competitive than the previous ones, so we wanted to step up in terms of the quality and accuracy of our technology to ensure we can perform at our best. The DMG-1 is perfectly suited to our technical requirements, offering excellent realism and strong engineering support, in addition to our great working relationship with the Dynisma team which helps us to progress quickly.”
“When you begin designing a new car, especially for GEN4, simulation comes first. You start with a sophisticated virtual model, but it is essential to put the driver in the loop as early as possible. The DMG-1 allows us to do that with confidence. The realism and fidelity it provides give us the best possible chance of transferring performance from the virtual world to the track.”
Oliver Rowland, Driver, Nissan Formula E Team, said: “In Formula E, we have very few test days and only two short practice sessions before qualifying, so what we achieve in the simulator is incredibly important. It helps us understand the track, prepare systems and arrive on race weekend ready to perform. The response rate and feel from the Dynisma system is excellent – I have been running simulators in different series for 10-15 years, and the Dynisma one is the best in the business. The DMG-1 was an important step forward from what we had before, so moving to it will be very beneficial for us as drivers and for the whole team.”
Norman Nato, Driver, Nissan Formula E Team, said: “Before the Sao Paulo E-Prix we spent significant time in the simulator to get used to the systems, track and car balance. The feedback it gives is extremely valuable because it is our only opportunity prior to free practice to have everything ready. In Formula E, we actually spend more time in the simulator than in the real car, so precision is essential. The Dynisma simulator provides that. It is still early days but already a clear step forward, and I am confident it will bring strong performance gains as the season progresses.”
Simon Holloway, Commercial Director, Dynisma, said: “With the DMG-1 now installed and actively in use, it is exciting to see Nissan Formula E Team already gaining value from its new driving simulator. Our mission has always been to deliver the highest levels of correlation and accuracy so engineers and drivers can make better decisions, faster. The realism of the DMG-1 supports detailed chassis setup, software validation and powertrain development, all of which are crucial in Formula E. We are pleased to be working with Nissan Formula E Team as their Official Simulator Partner and to support their preparations for GEN4, where advanced simulation will play a central role.”
Developed and manufactured by a team of world-class engineers specialising in high-performance motion generation, Dynisma supplies leading motorsport teams and automotive OEMs around the world. Dynisma simulators are available as turnkey systems or can be customised and integrated with any current or prototype chassis and visualisation environment.
