Moza Racing opens its largest public showcase yet in Frankfurt today. The company says the lineup includes PlayStation 5 licensed racing products and a MotoGP force feedback motorcycle simulator. For anyone planning a sim racing purchase this winter, the useful part is what has not been announced: at the time of writing, reports say prices and release dates for the headline items are still missing.
What Moza announced
In a press release published by Impulse Gamer on 13 October, Moza said it is bringing its biggest showcase ever to Sim Racing Expo in Frankfurt, Germany, from 16 to 18 October. Visitors can try eight hands-on simulator setups. The booth is in Hall 12.0, stand EF22.
The release lists a long run of officially licensed products: Porsche 911 GT3 RS and Mission R wheel replicas, two Lamborghini wheels, Mercedes-Benz licensed wheels, a Ford Mustang GTD wheel, the MotoGP motorcycle simulator and, in the company's words, "upcoming PlayStation 5 licensed racing products". It also lists the HMA150 motion system and two AI features, AI Motion and Moza Racing Lab, plus a range of flight simulation gear.
Moza's own event page says hands-on sessions are free, last 5 minutes and allow one guest per booking. It shows opening hours of 10:00 to 18:00 each day, and it lists the hardware on each rig. Slots are reserved in advance through that page, and availability is limited.
The console angle matters most
Trade press coverage points to the PlayStation hardware as the most significant addition. Traxion reported on 14 October that the R5S Pro and R16S Ultra racing simulator bundles, plus a standalone R16S Ultra direct drive wheel base, will take the brand into the mainstream console market for the first time. The same article says much remains unknown, including release dates and price, and points readers to the expo's live broadcast on 16 October for more.
That gap is the practical issue. Console owners have fewer wheel options than PC players, so a new brand arriving is welcome news. But a product shown at an expo is not a product you can order, and a wheel base that works with a PlayStation is only one part of a setup. Wheels, pedals and mounting are usually separate decisions.
The MotoGP controller and licensed wheels
Traxion describes the MotoGP handlebar controller as having both lean and steering controls, and says it can attach to any Moza direct drive wheel base. Reporting from Overtake.gg after Gamescom said it would be available towards the end of 2026. That is a reporter's note rather than a firm retail date, and it is worth checking again once Moza publishes a product page with a price.
The licensed wheels have a similar problem. A hands-on piece on the Mustang GTD wheel, dated 15 October, says the wheel is not on sale. It adds that Moza's product page shows a notify button where the price would be, and that no price or on-sale date has been announced. Officially licensed wheels are styled on real cars, and the same article frames the Mustang wheel as aimed at car fans more than hardcore simulation users. If you want a wheel mainly for its looks, that is fine. If you care about the controls above all, check how it compares with the other wheels in the range before you commit.
The AI coaching claims
Moza Racing Lab is described in the press release as an AI racing coach that combines telemetry analysis with Moza's AI model to suggest improvements after each session. The release says the AI can also drive the virtual car while controlling compatible Moza hardware, so a driver can feel braking points and steering inputs. It also says the AI beat two human drivers in a challenge at Gamescom in August, and that visitors in Frankfurt can race it themselves.
These are the company's own claims, from its own press release, and no independent test of the coaching is cited in any of the coverage we found. A demo race against an AI driver tells you little about whether the coaching helps an ordinary driver improve lap times at home. Treat it as a feature to evaluate when independent reviews appear, not as a reason to buy.
What buyers should do
- Wait for a price and a date. Do not pay a deposit or pre-order anything on the strength of an expo demo. Check Moza's product pages for a price, a release date and the stated platform support.
- Confirm platform support in writing. A PlayStation compatible base may not work the same way on PC, and the reverse is also true. Check the exact bundle, the games supported and whether any accessories are sold separately.
- Check what the motorcycle controller needs. Reports say it attaches to Moza direct drive bases. If you do not own one, the real cost includes that base.
- Read the return and warranty terms. Moza's EU site links to separate Return and Refund and Warranty policies in its footer. Read them before ordering, because large hardware is costly to send back.
- Use the free hands-on slots if you are in Frankfurt. Five minutes will tell you about rim size and feel, but not about long-term reliability.
- Let independent reviews land first. Hardware shown at a trade event has not yet faced a full review cycle.
Bottom line
The Frankfurt showcase confirms Moza's direction: more consoles, licensed brands, motorcycles and AI. What it does not give shoppers yet is a price, a date or independent testing for the new items. Until those arrive, treat these products as announcements, not purchase options.
