The Ansible Motion full-motion driver-in-the-loop (DIL) simulator at the Ford Performance Technical Center, North Carolina, USA remains one of relatively few worldwide to be publicly acknowledged by an OEM. Since its origianl installation in 2014, Ford has made no secret of its benefit not only to its NASCAR and sports car race programs, but as a trailblazing technology that is being transferred to future production-car development.  ![ford's driver-in-the-loop simulator](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Images/ford-driver-in-the-loop-simulator.jpg?width=1024&name=ford-driver-in-the-loop-simulator.jpg "ford's driver-in-the-loop simulator") Such are the benefits that Ford has derived from the Ansible Motion-supplied DIL simulator - which was used to help develop its Gen-6 NASCAR and Ford GT race cars, as well as the Mustang GT350 and Raptor road vehicles - that the original simulator was joined in 2017 by a second. To house it, Ford constructed a second simulator lab within their 33,000 square foot industrial unit that forms its base in the southern U.S. [Read the full article on the Automotive Testing Technology International website. ](http://www.ukimediaevents.com/publication/181843a3/41) [![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/453384/717c4d49-4aa9-438c-b95e-36e4e72ca1ca.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/453384/717c4d49-4aa9-438c-b95e-36e4e72ca1ca) ### Subscribe now ### Popular news ### eBook **Better by design: 10 Advantages of Ansible Motion DIL simulators** ![10-advantages-front-page-01](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/hubfs/CTAs/2021-CTAs/10-advantages-front-page-01.jpg) [![download](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/453384/27bb9213-08a2-4b19-9221-6993ee9fa690.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/453384/27bb9213-08a2-4b19-9221-6993ee9fa690) ## About Ansible Motion Founded in 2009, Ansible Motion creates and deploys technology associated with the physical and logical simulation of human-experienced vehicles. We offer a range of automotive Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) simulators featuring advanced computational and mechanical performance capabilities, and industry-unique motion and immersion solutions that create compelling virtual worlds for drivers and product development engineers. Ansible Motion DIL simulators are used by automotive and research organisations around the globe to place real people into direct contact with imagined vehicles, on-board systems and situations. Our DIL simulators are designed, built and developed at our factory and R&D Centre in Hethel, England. In 2022 we were acquired by AB Dynamics plc ([www.abdplc.com](https://www.abdplc.com/)). - [Home](https://www.ansiblemotion.com) - [Applications](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/applications) - [Products](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/driving-simulator-products) - [About](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/about-driving-simulator-science) - [Blog](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/automotive-driver-in-the-loop-simulation-articles) - [News](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/ansible-motion-automotive-driver-in-the-loop-simulation-news) - [Contact](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/contact-ansible-motion-for-driving-simulator-information) Ansible Motion Limited Hethel Engineering Centre Chapman Way, Norwich NR14 8FB UK [+44 (0)1603 908070](tel:+4401603908070) ![international trade](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/hubfs/Ansible_Motion_Feb21/international%20trade.svg)   © Ansible Motion Limited 2009-2026 - [ Privacy Policy](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/ansible-motion-privacy-policy) - [Purchasing Terms](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/purchasing-terms) - [Terms of Business](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/terms-and-conditions) - [Modern Slavery Statement ](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/modern-slavery-statement) [** ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/ansible-motion/) [** ](https://www.youtube.com/user/ansiblemotion) ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "Article", "articleBody" : "With demand from race and road car development teams on the increase, Ford Performance has ...", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Phil Morse", "url" : "https://www.ansiblemotion.com/ansible-motion-automotive-driver-in-the-loop-simulation-news/author/phil-morse" }, "dateCreated" : "March 02, 2018", "dateModified" : "February 09, 2022", "datePublished" : "March 02, 2018", "description" : "With demand from race and road car development teams on the increase, Ford Performance has invested in a second driving simulator at its technical center in Concord, North Carolina.
