CURBSTONE and VIRTEX announce strategic partnership in professional motorsport simulation

CURBSTONE is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with VIRTEX, a leading provider of high-fidelity professional motorsport simulation solutions.

This collaboration brings together CURBSTONE’s international trackday, testing and motorsport ecosystem with VIRTEX’s advanced simulation technology, creating a powerful bridge between virtual performance preparation and real-world track activity.

A complementary approach to testing performance

Through this partnership, CURBSTONE becomes the exclusive track & test-day commercial partner of VIRTEX for its Advanced Motorsport Simulation offering, positioning simulation as a high-value complement to on-track testing rather than a replacement.

Drivers, teams, OEMs and motorsport stakeholders will benefit from a more integrated preparation pathway, combining:

Professional-grade simulation sessions
Real-world testing at CURBSTONE locations
Performance, development and preparation continuity across the season

Located trackside at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, VIRTEX provides professional teams and drivers with direct access to high-fidelity simulation within the heart of one of the world’s most iconic racing venues. As part of its continued growth, VIRTEX will soon establish its offices in the new Uhoda Tower at Spa-Francorchamps, further reinforcing its long-term presence at the circuit and its close connection to real-world motorsport activity.

“At CURBSTONE, our ambition has always been to offer drivers and teams the most complete and relevant performance ecosystem possible for race testing,” said Ludovic Colman, General Manager of CURBSTONE.

“By partnering with VIRTEX, we are integrating top-level simulation as a natural extension of our track activities. This allows our clients to prepare smarter, optimize their performance, and approach real-world testing with a higher level of confidence and efficiency.”

Accelerating innovation for both partners

For CURBSTONE, the partnership strengthens its performance offering by integrating professional simulation into its portfolio, reinforcing its role as a holistic motorsport experience and performance partner.

For VIRTEX, CURBSTONE provides direct access to a global motorsport audience and a proven commercial platform to accelerate the market rollout of its Advanced Motorsport Simulation services and upcoming PRO licensing solutions for professional series and stakeholders.

“Simulation has driven performance at the highest levels of motorsport for decades and VIRTEX is now bringing that edge to teams in every category,” says Julien Gillard, Founder & CEO of VIRTEX.

“As a leading test day organiser, CURBSTONE understands the teams’ needs and delivers some of the best environments for on-track testing. This partnership allows us to expand our reach and bridge the gap between virtual and real-world testing, helping teams to arrive at the circuit better prepared, whether for a test or a race.”

Both parties will work closely on commercial structuring, go-to-market strategy, and visibility initiatives to ensure a consistent and high-quality client experience.

Looking ahead

The partnership officially runs from 2026 and is built with long-term ambition, innovation and performance at its core.

Specific offers, packages and activation formats will be announced soon.

Drivers, teams and partners are invited to stay tuned for upcoming announcements.
