SimRacing Expo Frankfurt 2026 Review!

The Traxion team is back from the SimRacing Expo Frankfurt 2026, with John Munro and Thomas Harrison-Lord downloading their (very tired) impressions.

Fresh equipment, new game updates and a slew of developer and manufacturer interviews, it was the biggest and best SimRacing Expo to date.

Here, Assetto Corsa EVO free-roam hands-on impressions, Simucube and Simagic ‘ActivePedals’ (or PedalActives) tested, Fanatec’s return to form and RaceRoom’s latest updates are discussed.

Elsewhere, the Alpine Esports Series has a new home, there’s another Wreckfest 2 update and Gran Turismo 7 is at the engine swap game again. Plus, there are community Expo-related questions answered.

As ever, let us know your thoughts in the comments!
