The Difference Is Real
Three DRS Solutions.
One Clear Choice for Every Event.
Apex One beats competitors on realism. Fast Lane beats them on price and throughput. Their middle ground is more expensive than our arcade and less real than our pro sim. There is no reason to go anywhere else.

Competitors offer one product in the middle. DRS covers both ends.

Apex One vs. Competitor: Spec by Spec
When the event calls for realism, the gap between professional and consumer hardware is immediate.
Full-motion platform. Guests feel every corner, brake, and acceleration.
Rear D-Box only. 1.5" of travel. Rocking, not racing.
Triple 27" monitors. Peripheral vision, full immersion.
Single monitor. Tunnel vision.
Circuit racing AND drift mode (real clutch + 5-speed dog box + Assetto Corsa).
Paddle shift only. Physically cannot drift.
Custom-built real-time leaderboard system. Only possible with a commercial iRacing license. The #1 reason event planners re-book.

Commercial license. Every car, every track, unlimited sessions. Leaderboard integration included.

Professional commercial platform designed for 8-10 hour continuous operation.
