WHY CIRCUITONE

Every Millimeter Accounted For

Most motion systems ask you to rebuild the rig around them. D Force 1 works the other way. It bolts to standard 8020 profile, runs one cable per axis, and disappears into the chassis you already race on.

Smallest Footprint in Its Class

At 257 mm end to end and 3.55 kg per axis, D Force 1 fits rigs that cannot take a conventional actuator.

Less Travel, More Truth

50 mm of stroke sounds small until you feel it. Short, tightly controlled travel resolves the details that make you faster. Kerb edges, grip breaking away, weight transfer, and more.

Lifts 180 kg Per Axis

Enough headroom to move a loaded cockpit without sagging under a heavier driver or a full-motion seat. Tested in gruelling, long races like iRacing's Spa 24, loved by top split drivers.

0 to 100 Hz of Detail

A wide frequency range separates a curb strike from tire scrub instead of blurring both into one buzz.

One Cable Per Axis

No polarity, no loom, no guesswork. Each actuator runs a single cable back to the LINK box.

Eight Screws, Full Install

A complete four-axis build uses eight screws and no adapter plates. Most owners are racing the same afternoon.

Installation

Yes, It's That Simple

D Force 1 mounts to standard 8020 aluminum profile. No adapter maze, no custom brackets, and no drilling into a chassis you paid good money for.

TELEMETRY LIGHTING

Race Data Where You Can Actually See It

Telemetry-linked LEDs put ABS, traction control, and flag states on the hardware itself, so you are not pulling your eyes off the apex to check a second screen.

ABS Activation

Your chosen color and flash pattern fire the instant ABS engages.

Traction Control

Map live TC state per preset or per supported game profile.

Flag Signals

Route yellow, red, and blue flags to their own LED responses.

Stacked Effects

Layer multiple telemetry triggers with priority rules you set.

Circuit Manager Software

Tune to Perfection

Tuning, presets, telemetry configuration, RPM lights, OTA firmware, and quick-launch flow are designed as one operating layer instead of scattered companion tools.

Device Tuning

Calibrate clutch bite point, separation points, paddle curves, rocker mode, and lock sync per axis.

Preset Library

Keep factory presets and personal setups side by side, then switch between rigs or car classes instantly.

RPM Lights

Build per-gear RPM thresholds with individual LED color rules and full rev-light behavior.

LED Telemetry

Bind button LEDs to ABS, traction control, flags, and custom states.

OTA Firmware

Deliver updates through the app with version confidence and no manual flashing workflow.

Game Launcher

Quick-launch supported sims with the correct device profile preloaded.

Short Travel, Higher Precision

Control Details That Matter

Short travel does not mean less information. It reduces overshoot so grip changes stay readable instead of being buried inside large body movement.

8-15 mm
Short, controlled travel

Keeps tire-load changes, curb edges, and slip onset inside a tight readable window.

40-80 mm
Large body swing

Adds drama, but it can blur the first small signal that tells you grip is leaving.

Short & Precise

Detail stays readable

Smaller movement keeps timing intact so you can feel the first useful signal.

Large & Loose

Drama can mask detail

Bigger chassis swing feels obvious, but the first fine-grain cue arrives less clearly.

Road edge and curb detail

Initial impact stays sharp, separated, and easy to place.
The first hit blends into a longer body movement.

Grip loss onset

Breakaway starts to read before the slide becomes large.
The detail arrives later, after the chassis has already moved.

Weight transfer

Load build-up feels tied to what the tire is doing right now.
Motion amplitude grows, but the timing becomes less exact.
FREQUENCIES EXPLAINED

Different Frequencies. Different Signals.

Low frequencies communicate chassis movement, load and slip. Higher frequencies reveal finer detail, from kerbs and surface texture to the first signs of lock-up.
