The Dacia Logan campaigned by Olli’s Garage Racing is heading to the SimRacing Expo in Frankfurt, where it will sit on the show floor from 16 to 18 October, according to a report from Traxion.

That is the whole announcement, and it is a small one. The expo is the big annual gathering for sim racing hardware makers, software studios and esports teams, and a real race car on display is a familiar feature of the event. What makes this one worth a mention is the car itself. Olli’s Garage Racing built a reputation on turning a budget Dacia into a genuine endurance entrant, and the car picked up a loyal following well beyond its results. It is the kind of underdog story that sim racing communities tend to latch onto, which is presumably why the expo organisers wanted it in the hall.

Traxion’s report does not say whether anyone from the team will be present, whether the car will be running, or whether there is any tie-in with a sim title. Treat it as a static display until told otherwise.

Why should sim racers care? Mostly for the same reason people queue to see any real machine at these shows: it is a reminder that the hobby borrows its appeal from real motorsport, and the Dacia is a cheerful example of grassroots racing done with more enthusiasm than budget. If you are already planning to attend Frankfurt for the hardware, it is a worthwhile detour. If you are on the fence about the trip, one parked Dacia should not be the thing that tips you over. The expo runs 16 to 18 October, and Traxion has the original report linked below.
