Below is the general motion profile for Project CARS. This motion profile is based on the McLaren 12C GT3, BMW Z4 GT3, and Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3 and can be utilized as a baseline for other vehicles in Project CARS. The Project CARS motion profiles can be found below in these categories:
GENERAL TUNING / GT3
McLaren 12C GT3, BMW Z4 GT3 and Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3
High Performance Motion Profile
Formula A
Mid Performance Motion Profile
BAC Mono
Kart Motion Profile
125cc Shifter Kart
IMPORTANT: These motion profiles require Sim Racing Studio version 2.18.0.10 or higher to resolve an issue with low Heave telemetry.
IMPORTANT: This tuning should not be utilized for Project Cars 2. Please use the Project Cars 2 motion profiles found here.
Platform Tuning
This motion profile was created on a PT Actuator 6DOF Simracing Platform (150mm: 7 Actuators (2 Front + 2 Rear + 2 TL + Surge). Since all motion platforms can be slightly different, please use the guidance below or utilize the quick tuning guide here for quick adjustments or the full guide here for detailed tuning information.
4 Vertical Actuator Tuning
Sway, Surge, and Traction Loss is converted into pitch or roll for platforms that do not have horizontal actuators. Since these motion profiles were created on a platform with horizontal actuators, the tuning(s) could result in excessive pitch or roll on platforms without horizontal actuators. IMPORTANT: For an axis that does not have a dedicated horizontal actuator, it might be necessary to reduce the Effect Slider for Lat G Sway, Long G Surge Accel and Long G Surge Decel, or Traction Loss by 60% to mitigate excessive movement. For example:
If no Sway actuators, reduce the Sway Effect Slider from 12 to 4.
If no Surge actuator, reduce the Long G Surge Accel/Decel Effect Slider from 16 to 6 & 14 to 6.
If no Traction Loss actuator, reduce the Traction Loss Effect Slider from 16 to 6.
MDBOX Tuning
Due to built in smoothing effects for MDBOX, it may be necessary to reduce the Effect Smoothing by 50%. Surge, Sway, and Traction Loss may require Effect Smoothing to be removed completely.
Actuator Size and Mounting
These motion profiles were created on a platform with 150mm actuators with the Front to Rear Vertical Actuator spacing at 1290mm and the Left to Right Vertical Actuator spacing at 745mm. Actuators placed closer together or are larger than 150mm will increase the angle of pitch and roll. To mitigate the increase of motion if needed, reduce the Effect Slider for the impacted effects or reduce the Max Angle.
Max Angle
These motion profiles have balanced to allow for the increase of Max Angle and Max Horizontal to 100 (unless noted otherwise). This will allow for the maximum movement capabilities of the vertical actuators. However, if less motion is desired, reduction of the Max Angle will reduce overall motion while still retaining the balanced effects.
Reverse Surge
These motion profiles were created with the surge actuator reversed. This will cause the platform to move forward when accelerating and backwards when decelerating. To reverse the surge actuator, please follow the tutorial here.
Spike Filter
The motion profiles have been tuned to a Spike Filter setting of 2700.
IMPORTANT: If you have downloaded the motion profile from the SRS Cloud Share, it will utilize your default Spike Filter settings. If you do not increase it as indicated in the motion profile, your Spike Filter may engage often and motion will feel muted.

GENERAL TUNING / GT3
McLaren 12C GT3 / BMW Z4 GT3 / Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3
Notes: Tuned utilizing telemetry from the McLaren 12C GT3, BMW Z4 GT3 and Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3 on Donington. This tuning can be utilize as a baseline motion profile for GT3 and other similar performance based vehicles in Project CARS.
High Performance Motion Profile
Formula A
Notes: Tuned utilizing telemetry from the Fromula A. Utilize this tuning for high-performance vehicles in Project CARS.
Mid Performance Motion Profile
BAC Mono
Notes: Tuned utilizing telemetry from the BAC Mono. Utilize this tuning for mid-performance vehicles or if you're Marcelo in Project CARS.
Kart Motion Profile
125cc Shifter Kart
Notes: Tuned utilizing telemetry from the 125cc Shifter Kart. Utilize this tuning as a baseline for Karts in Project CARS.
Change Log
10/31/2021 - Updated all heave and sway telemetries based on fixes in SRS Beta. Posted all finalized motion profiles. Added note that SRS Beta is required.
1/15/2022 - Adjusted messaging that SRS v 2.18.0.10 is required.
