From the first sketch to the first prototype — every step brings us closer to redefining what a home simulator can be.
Join us as we share key moments in the creation of the KELAKO Formula: design milestones, testing phases, and behind-the-scenes progress.
January 18, 2025 - First Seat Fit Check
Milestone:
Our journey toward the perfect simulator seat began with a simple, but exciting step — sitting in it for the very first time.
Article:
On January 18, 2025, we reached an important early milestone: the first seat fit check of the KELAKO Formula simulator.
For the first time, we could truly feel what we had been designing on screen for years.
This stage was all about ergonomics — finding that perfect seating position where comfort, control, and immersion meet. We made adjustments millimeter by millimeter, refining angles, pedal distances, and steering position until everything felt instinctive.
Moments like this remind us that the KELAKO Formula isn’t just about precision engineering — it’s about feeling right the instant you sit down.
April 11, 2025 - Final Seat Fit
Milestone:
The seat now fits exactly as intended — where driver and simulator become one.
Article:
After several months of refinement, on April 11, 2025, we completed the final seat fit for the KELAKO Formula simulator.
This was more than a check — it was confirmation that every earlier decision paid off.
The ergonomics now match the simulator’s design philosophy perfectly: dynamic yet balanced, elegant yet focused. The cockpit geometry ensures a natural driving posture that feels both athletic and comfortable, ready for long, immersive sessions.
This step completed the foundation of what makes the simulator not just functional, but personal — where performance meets presence.
April 29, 2025 - Design Finalized
Milestone:
Years of sketches, prototypes, and refinements led to this:
The final KELAKO Racing Seat design.
Article:
On April 29, 2025, the KELAKO Formula design was officially finalized — marking a defining moment in our journey.
Working closely with the acclaimed design studio Flying Objects, we shaped every surface, joint, and line to express both precision and emotion. The result is a simulator that stands as much for engineering excellence as for timeless design.
It’s the culmination of a process that began in 2020 with the first sketches, refined through experimentation, feedback, and countless adjustments.
This final form reflects our vision — a simulator that’s as beautiful as it is capable.
September 30, 2025 - Static Frame Analysis
Milestone:
Strength tested. Structure verified. The KELAKO Formula frame passes static load analysis with precision.
Article:
On September 30, 2025, we completed the computerized static analysis of the KELAKO Formula’s metal frame — a crucial engineering milestone before physical testing begins.
The simulation verified that the frame easily withstands the expected load of the motion system and the combined structural weight.
These results confirm that our lightweight yet rigid design delivers the strength, safety, and responsiveness required for the most demanding simulation environments.
This successful validation sets the stage for building the first working prototype — bringing design and engineering together in one seamless structure.
October 27, 2025 - Prototype Preparation Begins
Milestone:
The next chapter starts here — transforming design into a reality.
Article:
On October 27, 2025, we began preparing for the manufacturing of our first full-scale prototype.
This phase brings every element — metal frame, composite panels, and electronic systems — together for the first time.
It’s an exciting moment: years of design, testing, and planning now move into hands-on production.
Each part will soon be tested, adjusted, and refined to ensure it meets the standards that define KELAKO — elegance, performance, and precision.
Stay tuned — this is where the KELAKO Formula truly comes to life.
