ECR has selected Dynisma’s DMG-1 driver-in-the-loop simulator as a new in-house engineering tool, with delivery to the team’s Indianapolis operation scheduled for the first quarter of 2027.
The agreement announced on 3 November makes ECR Dynisma’s first publicly named NTT IndyCar Series team customer. The team says the system will support vehicle development, set-up work, driver preparation and race-weekend simulation across oval, street and permanent road circuits.
Dynisma specifies motion latency of less than five milliseconds and primary motion bandwidth above 50Hz for the DMG-1. Those figures are supplier specifications rather than independently audited performance results. Neither party disclosed the purchase price, installation footprint, contract term, staffing requirement or the software and vehicle-model work needed before the simulator becomes operational.
The timing connects the investment to IndyCar’s planned Dallara IR-28 competition debut in 2028. ECR driver Alexander Rossi has already participated in early IR-28 validation for Chevrolet, while the simulator is due to arrive during 2027. ECR said an in-house platform will allow engineers to build understanding before track running, but the announcement does not guarantee a particular testing allocation or performance gain.
The system is also intended for repeatable set-up, tyre, balance and race-scenario work when physical track time is limited. Bringing that capability inside the team changes its engineering infrastructure, rather than merely adding a commercial sponsor.
