Custom Sim Racing Rigs in Orange County
CMTS Motorsport designs, builds, installs, and calibrates premium turn-key racing simulators for drivers, track-day enthusiasts, families, and motorsport fans throughout Orange County.
CMTS Motorsport is the dedicated sim-racing division of Costa Mesa Tech Solutions. We combine hands-on sim-racing experience with professional PC building, home technology integration, networking, troubleshooting, and ongoing local support.
A Complete Simulator Built Around You
There is no single correct simulator package. Your available space, driving goals, preferred cars, physical comfort, desired force-feedback strength, display configuration, and budget all affect how the system should be designed.
Instead of forcing every customer into the same preselected package, we help you choose the right combination of chassis, seat, controls, displays, computer hardware, and software. The completed simulator is then assembled and configured for the person who will actually drive it.
- Rigid aluminum-profile simulator chassis
- Direct-drive steering systems
- Load-cell or active braking systems
- Single-screen, ultrawide, or triple-monitor configurations
- Purpose-built sim-racing computers
- Seats, shifters, handbrakes, button boxes, and accessories
- Clean cable routing and power management
- iRacing, telemetry, control, and force-feedback configuration
More Than Hardware in a Room
A collection of expensive components does not automatically create a good simulator. Monitor placement, seating position, pedal geometry, steering-wheel distance, field of view, software settings, and force-feedback calibration all determine whether a rig feels natural and remains comfortable during longer sessions.
CMTS Motorsport handles the details that are commonly left to the customer after the boxes arrive. Our goal is to deliver a complete system that is ready to drive—not a pile of parts accompanied by setup instructions.
Our White-Glove Installation Process
- Initial consultation: We discuss your available space, experience level, favorite types of racing, goals, comfort requirements, and approximate budget.
- System design: We recommend compatible hardware and create a simulator configuration around your needs rather than a generic parts list.
- PC and software preparation: The computer, operating system, drivers, updates, racing software, and supporting applications are prepared before final installation whenever possible.
- In-home assembly: We assemble the chassis and install the controls, seat, displays, computer, and accessories in their final location.
- Calibration: We configure seating geometry, monitor positioning, mathematically correct field of view, force feedback, pedals, graphics, controls, and essential software.
- Orientation and support: We show you how to operate the system and remain available for upgrades, troubleshooting, adjustments, and continued assistance.
Built for iRacing and Serious Motorsport Simulation
Our primary specialty is iRacing, a competitive motorsport simulation platform used by sim racers, real-world drivers, professional teams, and racing organizations around the world.
We configure the complete driving environment, including wheel and pedal controls, force feedback, graphics performance, display geometry, field of view, spotter and audio settings, telemetry tools, and the basic workflow required to enter practice sessions and races.
Track-Day Preparation
Practice braking points, corner sequences, sight lines, and track layouts before arriving at the circuit. Laser-scanned tracks can help drivers become familiar with a venue while avoiding the cost and risk of using real-world track time simply to learn which direction the next corner goes.
Competitive Sim Racing
Develop racecraft and compete in organized online events against drivers from around the world. We can help new users understand licenses, safety rating, sporting conduct, practice sessions, official races, and the equipment settings needed for a reliable experience.
Junior Driver Development
A properly configured simulator can provide young drivers with a controlled environment for developing consistency, braking technique, visual awareness, racecraft, and an understanding of vehicle behavior. Parents can also supervise practice without the cost and logistical demands of additional track sessions.
Owner-Led Design and Local Technical Support
Your simulator is not handed from a salesperson to an unknown installer. CMTS Motorsport systems are designed and configured with direct involvement from a local sim racer and technology professional who understands the hardware from the driver’s seat.
Because CMTS Motorsport is backed by Costa Mesa Tech Solutions, we can support more than the cockpit itself. We can also assist with custom computers, networking, streaming equipment, displays, audio, remote access, smart-home integrations, and future system upgrades.
- Locally operated in Costa Mesa
- Serving customers throughout Orange County
- Individual system design and component selection
- In-home installation and calibration
- Real-world experience with high-end sim-racing hardware
- Ongoing technical support after installation
Upgrades and Existing Simulator Support
You do not necessarily need to purchase an entirely new simulator. CMTS Motorsport can evaluate an existing setup and help address weak points such as chassis flex, uncomfortable seating, poor pedal positioning, incorrect monitor geometry, limited computer performance, unreliable USB connections, cable clutter, or confusing software settings.
We can also help plan staged upgrades so that your simulator improves over time without replacing components that already work well.
Driver Coaching and Telemetry Assistance
The hardware is only one part of becoming a better driver. CMTS Motorsport can provide introductory coaching and telemetry assistance to help drivers understand braking consistency, racing lines, throttle application, car control, practice structure, and safe participation in competitive online races.
Coaching can be provided remotely or incorporated into an in-home simulator session, depending on the customer’s needs and location.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a custom sim-racing rig cost?
The cost varies substantially based on the chassis, seat, steering system, pedals, displays, computer, accessories, and installation requirements. We discuss your goals and budget before recommending a configuration or preparing a quote.
Do you install racing simulators inside customers’ homes?
Yes. We provide in-home simulator assembly, installation, cable management, monitor positioning, software setup, and calibration throughout our Orange County service area.
Can you upgrade or repair an existing simulator?
Yes. We can evaluate an existing rig, diagnose hardware or software problems, improve its ergonomics and configuration, and recommend upgrades that work with the equipment you already own.
Can you build the computer as well as the cockpit?
Yes. Costa Mesa Tech Solutions has extensive experience designing and building custom computers. We can provide a complete simulator PC matched to the desired display resolution, frame-rate target, racing software, streaming requirements, and future upgrade plans.
Do you configure triple monitors and field of view?
Yes. We position and align the displays, enter the relevant measurements, and configure an accurate field of view so that the virtual cockpit and surrounding track appear at a natural scale from the driver’s seated position.
Do I need previous sim-racing experience?
No. We can design systems for complete beginners, experienced sim racers, real-world track drivers, young drivers, and customers who simply want a realistic motorsport experience at home.
