Merging passion for motorsport and community with the precision of a new, AI-driven physics engine, Straight4 is building the next generation of AAA motorsport simulation
FIDELITY
“Our new physics platform will achieve ever-increasing realism by building the physics platform to be modular and extensible from the ground up. This enables more advanced models with superior validation, less systemic complexity, elevated quality, and new AI-driven flexibility”
— AJ Weber, Director Physics & Simulation
INTENSITY
“We will be combining the power of the very latest multi-channel audio technologies with the most detailed sonic vehicle models to bring unprecedented levels of immersion, excitement, and fidelity to the player. The brutality of motorsport is our key focus”
— Prof. Stephen Baysted, Composer and Audio Director
EXPERIENCE
“I’ve raced cars since the ’80s doing everything from formula cars to GT cars and a pro’ race driver 1998-2004. I’ve also worked on sims for years so I’m bringing all my experience to this new generation of racing sims”
— Henrik Roos, Handling Consultant
