Sim Formula Europe 2025 is close to opening its doors, and if you are still undecided about attending, let us help to convince you to go to Maastricht: You could walk away with the very same rig the winner of the on-site competition raced in – or some brand-new Heusinkveld gear!
Opening day of Sim Formula 2025 is not far away anymore: From January 16 to 19, the event welcomes sim racers at MECC Maastricht with a number of great exhibitors and a one-of-a-kind competition. And the latter is the key to an exciting giveaway: You could leave Maastricht as the winner of the 2025 Sim Formula Europe Champion’s sim racing rig!
Once the checkered flag flies at the end of the on-site competition and the winner is crowned on Saturday, one lucky winner will receive the very same rig that just raced to victory, worth €7,500 – so a proper piece of kit! Here’s what the rig consists of:

The rig comes with everything you need to start racing like the 2025 Champion. All you need is a valid scanned ticket, which can be a 1-day or 4-day pass, or a Combi-ticket. Clues as to when the winner of the Champion’s rig will be announced via their ticket number will be given via the official SFE 2025 broadcast on Saturday afternoon, so make sure to follow it either online or live in the arena!
The giveaway will take place at the OverTake stand where we are also looking forward to meeting you to chat about everything sim racing.
And it will be well worth it to stop by, as we have teamed up with Heusinkveld and Simwear.eu to make your start to 2025 that much better. On every event day on 16:00 CET, we will be giving away exciting prizes at our stand, again based on ticket numbers.

And while that may not include ready-to-race rigs, there are still some extremely nice pieces of hardware in the running. Here’s what will be up for grabs:

That means that in addition to the Champion’s rig giveaway, you will have the chance to score excellent sim racing gear on each of the four event days!
More than 30 exhibitors will set up their booths at MECC Maastricht, and they include famous sim racing brands like Actoracer, ImSim, Simucube, Sim-Lab, and many more. Looking to give The Last Garage a spin? You can – but only in Maastricht, as Marcel Offermans’ project is not publicly available yet.
That means as level a playing field as possible when the 16 racers compete for their share of the €10,500 prize pool in the BAC Mono R – a real version of which will also be present. In fact, it is not just any BAC Mono R, but rather the first one ever produced, including an outstanding Wipeout livery.
2024 Sim Formula Europe Super Final winner Jernej Simončič will be behind the wheel in 2025 again.
To access InterClassics and SFE 2025, you need a Combi-ticket, which is valid for one of the four event days. Additionally, 4-day and 1-day passes just for Sim Formula Europe 2025 are available, starting at €8 for a one-day ticket. Junior discounts are also available!

The Competition
Speaking of The Last Garage: The project will be the backbone of the Sim Formula Europe 2025 competition, which will be unlike any other sim racing competition. Eight pro sim racers face eight community racers who qualified on-site on Friday and Saturday – but no one can actually practice for the final since TLG is, as mentioned, not available anywhere, nor will the track be revealed until the final.That means as level a playing field as possible when the 16 racers compete for their share of the €10,500 prize pool in the BAC Mono R – a real version of which will also be present. In fact, it is not just any BAC Mono R, but rather the first one ever produced, including an outstanding Wipeout livery.
