Pro Simulation Karera (PSK) Motorsport Simulation

Patrick B. Alcantara
Race Against The Machine

As a country where hosting a local Disneyland is beyond reach, we grew up filling that hole with amusement parks and arcade arenas to mimic the things we don’t have: snipers, swords, zombie-shooting guns, and of course, racecars. These arcade simulators have taken our childhood imaginations to the next level that we actually find it hard to outgrow them even in our life’s supposedly-adulthood days.

Unfortunately, those games won’t come of age. They don’t have an adolescent stage to improve their lives and catch up with our maturity. We tend to lose our interest when they are played exactly the same way they were supposed to be played 10 to 15 years ago. Worse still, our grownup dreams are strong enough that this kind of entertainment can hardly move us in the same way as when we were younglings.

Then there’s PSK.

Prepare for the track

Pro Simulation Karera—or PSK, for short—is a motorsport simulation company that replicates racecar driving on a high-tech simulation rig. It is punched through the ground floor of Gold Building on Annapolis Street in San Juan, and is being managed by Wael Moawad, the official representative of PSK’s owner, Abuts, Inc. PSK has four branches erected across the globe: Sweden, Egypt, United Kingdom (headquarters), and Manila.

Officially established last April, the branch in San Juan accommodates two units of PSK rigs, and both setups are being run by a high powered PC housing two NVIDIA GeForce GT 1080 SLI, 1TB solid-state drive, and a 32GB DDR5 RAM to provide the best graphics and speed.
