Next Level Racing Motion Plus Platform
Complete the Feel of your Racing Sim with the Next Level Racing Motion Plus and Join Thousands of Users World-Wide
Who is the Motion Plus For?
- People who want to feel pitch, roll, and heave mechanics on their entire chassis
- Individuals with home setups who eventually want to upgrade to a combined 3-DOF chassis and 2-DOF seat motion experience by utilizing the convenient Next Level Racing family of motion products
- Great for a variety of chassis supported setups and is widely compatible thanks to the included mounting bracket for single Motion Plus setups
- No engineering or technical skills needed for installation
Sim racers often have to do extensive research before making a purchase for their rig. No one wants to buy something they won't use in a few months because they decided to upgrade to an additional degree of freedom. When you install a Next Level Racing Motion Plus Platform, you a free of those worries. The Motion Plus is upgradable and can take you from 2-DOF to 3-DOF and even 4-DOF with the addition of a traction loss base.
You already have the wheel, the pedals, and the screens. What you don't have is the road pushing back. The Next Level Racing® Motion Plus Platform is a full cockpit mover which means it takes the entire chassis and drives it off live telemetry from the game, so braking loads your shoulders, curbs snap through the frame, and gear shifts land in your chest instead of your speakers.
That signal is read and acted on 4,000 times per second, with movement reaching speeds of up to 1,100mm per second. There is no lag between what the car does and what your body feels. Since 2014, sim racers, flight sim pilots, and professional simulation operators around the world have been running Next Level Racing® motion under their rigs and the Motion Plus Platform is the first in that line to deliver heave, pitch, and roll together.
Upgrade your rig to a Complete 3-DOF Motion Experience by Mounting Two Motion Plus Platforms to your Chassis to allow for Pitch, Roll, and Heave Mechanics
One platform gets you moving. The included pivot bar lets a single unit run on its own, giving your chassis 2-DOF motion straight out of the box. No second purchase required to get started with partial heave mechanics.
Add a second Motion Plus Platform and the rig unlocks its full range: pitch, roll, and complete heave mechanics working together as 3-DOF chassis motion. You roll into corners at up to 21 degrees per second of velocity roll, catching weight transfer as it happens rather than after the car has already stepped out. Braking and acceleration register at up to 8 degrees per second, which is exactly the cue you need to modulate the pedal instead of guessing at it.
You never have to replace your Motion Platform Plus on your way to a Combined 3-DOF Experience
Every Motion Plus Platform you buy stays in the build. Nothing gets retired, resold, or outgrown. The platform was designed to slot directly into the wider Next Level Racing® motion ecosystem, so your upgrade path is additive:
- One Motion Plus Platform — Chassis 2-DOF
- Two Motion Plus Platforms — Chassis 3-DOF
- Motion Plus Platform + Motion Platform V3 — Chassis 2-DOF and Seat 2-DOF (combined 2-DOF)
- Two Motion Plus Platforms + Motion Platform V3 — Chassis 3-DOF and Seat 2-DOF (combined 3-DOF)
DOF (Degrees of Freedom) simply counts the distinct directions of movement a given combination can produce. Please check product weight limitations when combining different motion products.
Buy in once at whatever level your budget allows this year, then keep building. The platform you start on is the platform you finish on.
Take Advantage of a Stress-Free Installation and get your NLR Motion Plus Up and Running in Less Than 60 Minutes with No Technical Skills Required
The Motion Plus Platform bolts to your cockpit using the supplied foot assembly kit and pre-cut mounting points. It comes with hand tools, digital instructions, and step-by-step assembly videos which are all you need. Most users are installed and driving inside the hour.
Software is just as direct. The Next Level Racing® Platform Manager was rebuilt around the Motion Plus device and runs click-and-play with all major racing and flight titles on PC, with support for new releases added on an ongoing basis. Motion strength, bump feel, roll, and pitch are each dialed in with a single control, and when you're running multiple units you can set effect intensity for each one independently. The engineering underneath features magnetic encoders mounted to the motor shaft feed exact position data back from hardware to game.
It's also built for a house with neighbors and thin walls. The platform is commercial-grade equipment in a compact, low-noise package that fits a spare room rather than a warehouse.
Try the same Motion Plus Platform used in Training by Air Force Cadets and NASA
Next Level Racing® motion platforms are not consumer hardware borrowed by professionals. They're professional hardware you can put in your own room. Militaries, universities, NASA, and Air Force cadet programs have used these platforms for training and research, alongside world-class esports competitors, professional race drivers, VR centers, and commercial simulation facilities running hundreds of units globally.
The hardware backs that up. The Motion Plus Platform is manufactured in Europe from high-grade components, developed with Motion Systems® engineers and more than a decade of simulation experience behind it. Rather than repurposing industrial actuators, the drive system was engineered from scratch for simulation work specifically. Commercial customers are covered by a 1-year warranty.
For pilots, the VR story matters just as much as the motion. VR Headway 2.0 is integrated directly into the Platform Manager and uses advanced mathematical modelling to cancel out unwanted headset movement, correcting your in-game viewpoint in real time as the platform moves beneath you. The result is motion and VR working with each other instead of against each other and far less of the VR sickness that plagues other motion setups on long flights.
Behind the product sits a global community of thousands of active Next Level Racing® users on Discord trading settings, profiles, and hard-won configuration knowledge, plus a dedicated Motion Customer Support team who work on motion products specifically, before and after purchase.
