SoVa Motion's world-class facility is strategically located in the heart of the Virginia Motorsports Alley at the Virginia International Raceway, a 1200-acre race complex with multiple courses.
SoVa Motion offers state-of-the-art equipment and expertise for shock and suspension testing, driver performance, and a broad range of on-vehicle sensing such as wheel force transducers.
8-Post Test Rig
SoVa Motion's 8-post test rig represents the next generation in dynamic suspension testing equipment. It has several advantages over today's 7-post rigs:
• Chassis actuators (aero-loaders) are electro-magnetic instead of hydraulic.
• The eighth actuator allows pure pitch and roll moments to be applied to the chassis independent of the amount of warping.
• The test rig can accommodate vehicles from a golf cart to a fully up-armored HMMWV.

Full Motion Driving Simulator
The SoVa Motion driving simulator provides full-immersion simulation of the driving experience with visual, audible, tactile, and motion feedback to the driver.
Drivers can improve lap times by driving virtual vehicles on virtual tracks, which are constructed with data measured from the actual track.
Component suppliers can test drive virtual prototypes such as tires or suspension components to reduce development costs associated with making physical prototypes.
SoVA Motion currently has one of the only Drag Race vehicle simulations with two side-by-side simulators and realistic launch acceleration enhancements.
