BREINIGSVILLE, Pa., January 5, 2009: SimCraft Corporation, developers of true-to-life full-motion racing simulators recently announced its integration with iRacing.com, an online, subscription-based racing simulation service.

"We're proud to add iRacing to our existing suite of racing integrations," said Sean Patrick MacDonald, SimCraft's co-founder and chief technical officer. "Between iRacing's proprietary laser mapping technology that replicates the eccentricities of the world's best road courses, short ovals, and superspeedways, and our cutting-edge software that results in zero latency between what you're seeing and what you're feeling -- we're offering racing professionals and serious amateurs an unparalleled experience."

iRacing was founded by Dave Kaemmer and John Henry. Kaemmer was co-founder of Papyrus Design Group, developers of award-winning racing simulations including NASCAR Racing: 2003 Season and Grand Prix Legends. Henry is principal owner of the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Sports Group -- the co-owner of Roush Fenway Racing -- as well as an avid sim racer.

SimCraft will debut its professional-grade (APEX SC830) at the 2009 International CES(R), Jan. 8-11, 2009, in Las Vegas. SimCraft also plans to demonstrate the iRacing software integration at its booth (LVCC, South Hall 2, Booth #25311) in the Electronic Gaming section.

The APEX SC830 features three degrees of freedom (roll 40 degrees / pitch 25 degrees / yaw 40 degrees) and has a state-of-the-art architecture that recreates center of mass rotations. For more details, visit SIMCRAFT.
