SimRacing Expo is finally coming to the USA and will find it’s new home in Charlotte, North Carolina.
From May 22–24, 2026, the SimRacing Expo USA will transform the Queen City into the epicenter of the global sim racing community, bringing the world-renowned expo from Germany to American soil for the very first time.
Founded in 2014 at the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife, the SimRacing Expo is the world’s leading trade show and community event for virtual motorsports. Each year, fans travel from around the globe to Frankfurt to explore the newest trends in SimRacing technology, hardware, and software, and to connect with top brands and industry leaders.
The Charlotte edition aims to deliver the same unique blend of virtual and real motorsport that has made the European event such a success. Following its record-breaking 2025 show with over 24,000 attendees, 74 exhibitors, and 30 world premieres, the 2026 SimRacing Expo USA in Charlotte is promising once again an event full of innovation, interactivity, and community engagement.
Charlotte, home to 17 NASCAR teams, the Haas F1 Team, major US sports organizations, and the state-of-the-art Charlotte Convention Center, provides the perfect backdrop for the expo.
The event takes place over Memorial Day Weekend 2026, running parallel to the legendary NASCAR Coca-Cola 600, one of the most iconic races on the NASCAR calendar. Just steps from the Convention Center, visitors can also explore the world-famous NASCAR Hall of Fame, a three-story museum celebrating the past, present, and future of America’s premier motorsport.
This unforgettable weekend is a dream come true for every motorsport and sim racing fan and an ideal reason to plan a trip to Charlotte or visit the expo if you're in town.
At SimRacing Expo USA, you can get behind the wheel of your dream cars, compete with racers from around the world, and experience virtual motorsport like never before.
