At the Game Developers Conference 2026 in San Francisco, MOZA Racing will be presenting a range of new technologies for sim racing enthusiasts. With the Racing Lab AI Coach, the MOZA Motion Manager software and the new HMA150 Motion Actuator, the company aims to significantly expand its hardware and software platform. The aim is to create a closely integrated simulation environment that combines a realistic driving experience, intelligent training and comprehensive motion effects. The new technologies are intended to take both training and immersion in sim racing to a new level.
- Racing Lab AI Coach: AI-supported training system with real-time feedback via steering wheel base and active pedals
- MOZA HMA150 Motion Actuator: 4-axis motion platform with 3 degrees of freedom and up to 1g acceleration
- MOZA Motion Manager: AI-based motion software that also supports games without telemetry support
- Open ecosystem: hardware, software and AI algorithms are combined into an integrated sim racing platform
Racing Lab AI Coach: AI-supported driver training
With the Racing Lab AI Coach, MOZA presents a new training system that combines artificial intelligence directly with sim racing hardware. Unlike many existing tools, which mainly analyze telemetry data, Racing Lab actively intervenes in the control system. The AI can simulate realistic steering and braking inputs via compatible MOZA steering bases and active pedals. This allows driving techniques to be physically reproduced – such as ideal steering angles or precise brake modulation.
At the heart of the platform is an AI driver developed in-house and trained using reinforcement learning. According to MOZA, this AI driver achieves lap times on a par with professional sim racers and can even exceed them in certain scenarios. The system analyses driving data in real time and creates personalized training programs ranging from beginners to experienced sim racing drivers.
The training system has a modular structure and guides you step by step through various learning levels. In addition to classic analyses, the AI offers direct physical demonstrations – an approach that should make it much easier to understand complex driving techniques.
HMA150 Motion Actuator and Motion Manager enhance the simulation
Alongside the AI platform, MOZA is also presenting new motion hardware and software. The MOZA HMA150 Motion Actuator forms the heart of the motion simulation. The system works with four axes and three degrees of freedom (pitch, roll and heave) and offers a stroke of 150 mm at speeds of up to 300 mm/s. Peak accelerations of over 1g are intended to represent movements in the cockpit particularly realistically.
One technical feature is the fully integrated design. While many professional motion systems require separate industrial control boxes, MOZA integrates motor control and electronics directly into the actuator housing. This significantly reduces the installation effort – an advantage especially for high-end home cockpits.
The hardware is complemented by the MOZA Motion Manager. This software uses AI algorithms to generate motion and vibration feedback even in games without official telemetry data. Instead of classic data feeds, the system analyzes visual and acoustic signals from the game in real time.
This means that motion effects can also be generated in titles such as Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption 2 or Cyberpunk 2077, which have nothing to do with classic racing games. This extends the application possibilities of the motion platform far beyond classic racing simulations.
Conclusion
With Racing Lab AI Coach, Motion Manager and the HMA150 Motion Actuator, MOZA is significantly expanding its sim racing ecosystem. In particular, the combination of AI-supported driver training and hardware-based motion feedback sets the approach apart from many previous solutions. Prices and exact market dates have not yet been officially announced for the presentation at GDC 2026. However, initial demonstrations are already underway on site, meaning that a market launch for ambitious sim racing setups seems likely in the foreseeable future.
