PALMETTO, Fla. – The Dallara Research Center has partnered with USF Pro 2000 in a multi-year agreement.
To further prepare riders for their rise through the ranks in the USF Pro Championships presented by Cooper Tyres, Dallara is now offering the top three finishers of the championship simulator time at the prestigious facility at Speedway, Indiana.
The Dallara USA simulator was built in 2014 and is one of only three Dallara simulators in the world. The state-of-the-art unit features a full-motion platform with post lifts, movement, vibration, simulated G-force, immersive audio and 180-degree video. It is the most accurate simulator for professional racing and has been used by top drivers and teams around the world.
In addition to the USF Pro 2000 Champion’s $664,425 bursary for advancement to INDY NXT in 2024, Dallara will offer a full day of simulator testing, with half days awarded to second and third place finishers in the final positions.
“We have had an excellent working relationship with Dallara for many years, including the development of the Dallara IL-15,” said Dan Andersen, owner and CEO of Andersen Promotions. “I want to thank Bryce Moore [Dallara Commercial and Business Development] and his team for reaching out to us and offering this great rewards package to help our riders take their next steps.
“I’ve seen the Dallara simulator in action and the amount of accurate, realistic set-up changes that can be made in a short amount of time coupled with the physics aspects and live data will definitely help accelerate a driver’s learning curve . It is truly revolutionary what can be achieved in one day in the simulator compared to several days at the track. As always, our aim is to educate drivers to progress and this is another benefit to our ladder system thanks to Dallara.”
“We’ve always had such a great relationship with Dan and his team and feel that as the only chassis supplier for the Pillar Series we are able to continually help up the ladder in this way and improve the skills of the younger generation of riders on to the next levels ‘ Moore said. “We are very excited about this partnership and excited to see what it can bring.”
