We were asked to come up with a concept unlike what has been done before, while keeping in mind the skill level of the typical attendee. We wanted there to be a competitive aspect to the activation while still keeping it fun and enjoyable. The answer involved an array of simulators, an easy-to-drive configuration and a 20 foot LED screen.

The final production included six racing simulators, a 36 foot wide stage, 10,000 watt sound system, club lighting, fog and haze effects, a live DJ, and a live race announcer.

Participants were excited to drive on a simulator on the big stage with their performance on display on the giant LED screen in a club-like environment.

The four-day event hosted over 40,000 race fans. The activation caught the attention of several social influencers, Us Weekly magazine, and Deco Drive. In all, over 100,000 social media impressions were received.

The kickoff dinner and networking event was to be held at the 500 Club inside Daytona International Speedway. The organizers at Northstar Meetings Group were looking for an activity that would set the tone for days to follow. In partnership with NASCAR and iRacing, Ricmotech was enlisted to create the experience.

Basic Sims with Leaderboard

Three racing simulators were prepared with steering wheels and shifters to mimic the latest generation of NASCAR stock cars. A racing experience centered around Daytona International Speedway was created.

Participants would drive in a formation lap in a field of eleven other cars around the track to get the feel of the simulator and the handling of the race car. As the formation lap winds to a close the pace car would pull into the pits and seconds later the field was under green flag racing.

Case Study: Super Trofeo Saturday

Lamborghini-Miami

Lamborghini Miami

North Miami, FL

Prestige Imports proudly counts itself among the most successful luxury automobile companies in the country. Currently, Prestige Imports is thriving under its corporate wings with premier franchises such as Lamborghini Miami.

Lamborghini Miami was looking to hold a social event to gain awareness of their new showroom. The concept was called Super Trofeo Saturday. It was to be a watch party of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo race at Watkins Glen International Raceway. The dealership wanted to ensure visitors remain on the premises until the end of the event. A friendly simulator competition was the answer.

We prepared three simulators for driving Super Trofeo GT3 cars and added dealership branding to the simulators. The in-game simulation featured the dealership’s very own Lamborghini Huracan GT3 car painted up in mirror gold finish and the Prestige Imports livery. 

The Ricmotech crew arrived hours before the event to set up the three simulators, a video leaderboard highlighting the competition rules, prizes, leaderboard standings, and promotional videos for the company brand. High-energy music, stage lighting, and commentary by the event host pulled the entire activation together.

As guests arrived the host explained the competition rules and prizes up for grabs which got everyone sharing their experiences on social media. Posts were shared and attendance multiplied as a result.

Participants were instantly hooked by the driving competition and friendly rivalries began to develop. The remaining spectators connected with their favorite competitors sharing their experience on Instagram and Facebook. 

Over 200 images and videos were captured in a three-hour time span and shared, garnering over 5000 social media impressions for the Lamborghini Miami and Prestige Imports brands.
