Racing simulator company Cruden BV will be exhibiting at this month's Russian Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Expo (RAAPA) in Moscow.

The company will be showing on the stand operated by local entertainment equipment distributor company, EntEx. Frank Kalff, Cruden's commercial director, said: "We are very excited about formally introducing the Russian and CIS countries' attractions industries to our range of full motion simulators.

"We are already selling simulators to private customers in Russia and are convinced of the appetite for performance driving and motorsport-themed experiences among the general public." The company will be promoting its full motion (six 'degrees of freedom') Hexatech and Hexathrill simulator ranges.

Hexathrill is the company’s most recent simulator for the entertainment market, and is a lighter, more flexible version that uses less floor space and is easier to locate and install. In addition to the standard, single-seat configurations, both product families are available with Formula-style cockpit bodies or with full Formula One cars integrated to the motion base.

The Hexatech 3CTR, with three seats, is a simulator designed to increase guest throughput and allow a passive ride and interactive drive, simultaneously. Cruden is a leading designer and manufacturer of professional, interactive, motion-based racing simulators. It develops high tech, realistic and accurate professional equipment for the top levels of international motorsport - including Formula One - as well as vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers.

The same package is then made available to the global attractions market.
