Building the machine since 1999.
VRX began in 1999 as Virtual Racer X and pioneered the first turnkey racing simulator for the consumer market. Today it designs, fabricates and integrates motion simulators for drivers, venues and brands from its workshop in Sidney, BC, near Victoria.
It started with Speed Racer.
"45 years ago, I watched Speed Racer for the first time. It was then, at seven years old, that the idea for VRX was born. With a strong ambition for racing, engineering, development, and forming partnerships with the biggest players in the technology and gaming industries, VRX has strived to become the most advanced interactive simulation company in the world."
Robert Stanners, CEO and founder, in the 2019 portfolio. VRX stands for Virtual Racer X; Racer X was his favourite character in the show. The name went on the hood of the No. 00 Camaro at the 2018 Daytona 500.
