By KITAMEN Esports Solutions • June 2026
Executive Summary
- Client: Toyota Gazoo Racing, at the Super GT Sepang 2026 weekend.
- KITAMEN built a custom racing simulator experience at the booth, running Assetto Corsa with exclusive access to the GR Yaris and GR Supra on force-feedback rigs.
- Over three days, thousands of visitors took their turn on the virtual grid, engaging with motorsport beyond the grandstands.
Deep Dive: The Build
The brief was to deepen fan experience at the Toyota Gazoo Racing booth, turning spectators into drivers. KITAMEN transformed a section of the circuit into a high-performance virtual grid, built on Assetto Corsa with exclusive access to the GR Yaris and GR Supra. From authentic force-feedback rigs to crowd-ready screens, every element was designed to replicate the rhythm and rush of GT-class racing.
Across three days, thousands of visitors took their turn on the track. Some chased lap times, others simply soaked in the thrill, and the experience struck a chord with fans of all ages, offering a fresh way to engage with motorsport culture.
Local Insight: Why Sepang, Why Sim Racing
Sepang is sacred ground for Malaysian motorsport: Sepang International Circuit hosted the Formula 1 Malaysian Grand Prix from 1999 to 2017. A sim racing activation at a live race weekend taps that heritage directly, letting fans feel a version of what the drivers feel. The appetite is real, with the Gran Turismo series alone selling more than 100 million units worldwide.
