Simulation built to
race.
LUMIN8 designs and builds deterministic, physics-validated racing simulators — engineered for professional motorsport and autonomous racing programs, calibrated until they behave like the real thing.
We build the future.
We move progress.
Lumin8 designs and builds professional-grade motorsport simulation platforms — deterministic, ROS 2-native environments used by race teams, autonomy developers and racing programs to develop, validate and qualify vehicles before they ever touch the track. Our simulators don’t just look real — they’re calibrated against real vehicle telemetry until they behave like it.
Explore our solutionsVehicle dynamics modeled from first principles, refined with real telemetry, not guesswork.
Every run reproduces exactly — the same seed, the same outcome, every time.
Calibrated against real lap data from our own vehicle program, not synthetic benchmarks.
Validated against the real thing
Every model in our simulator is calibrated against telemetry captured from our own vehicle program — not assumed, measured.

Every session on our reference vehicle feeds the correlation pipeline that keeps the simulator honest against real track data.
Camera, LIDAR and radar models trained on real recordings so perception behaves like the hardware it represents.
Downforce, drafting and multi-car interaction modeled on real aerodynamic and race-control behavior.
Pacejka tire forces and suspension geometry calibrated against measured load transfer and grip.
Simulation engineered to race
From single-vehicle dynamics to full multi-car race simulation, LUMIN8 builds the platforms racing teams and autonomy programs qualify on.
Vehicle Dynamics Simulation
Nonlinear, multi-body vehicle models validated against real telemetry, with every parameter externally configurable.
Sensor & Perception Simulation
Physics-plus-learning camera, LIDAR and radar models that behave like the real hardware, not an approximation of it.
Race Control & Multi-Car Systems
Flags, incidents, penalties and multi-agent race logic running on a deterministic, authoritative simulation core.
Driver-in-the-Loop & HIL
Human drivers and autonomy stacks in the same session, on the same rig, under the same rules.
From telemetry to track-ready
Data Capture
We ingest real vehicle telemetry, track survey data and sensor recordings as the ground truth for every model.
Model Calibration
Physics-based models are refined with a residual learning layer trained on the gap between simulation and measured data.
Platform Integration
ROS 2-native interfaces let teams run their existing stacks unmodified, from desktop to hardware-in-the-loop.
Validation & Handover
Deterministic replay, correlation reporting and full documentation — validated, then delivered.
