How Helente started
Hi, I'm Nedas - the founder of Helente.
When I started earning my own money, the first thing I bought was a sim wheel. I wanted to drive drift, so I needed a handbrake. I looked in Lithuania and could not find a single one, so I had to order from abroad, pay a lot for shipping and wait a few weeks.
Then I realised something simple: nobody in Lithuania was doing this.
In 2023 I ordered 5 handbrakes and posted them in Facebook groups. They sold in a few days. That is how the store now called Helente started.
From separate parts to complete simulators
We have seen it many times: you buy everything separately, then spend weeks trying to put it together. It takes far longer than it looks at first, and it often ends the same way - the simulator is standing there, but the feel is not right. The money is spent, and you do not really want to train on it.
So we started building them ourselves. We work with real racing drivers, so we know what it takes to make the feel right. We build them to be as realistic as possible, as immersive as possible and as little hassle as possible - so you spend your time driving, not fixing. Today we call this Helente OnTrack.
That is also why we make our own chassis - Helente X and R1, built specifically for our simulators.
What we do today
Simulators
We spec the simulator around you, build it, test it, deliver it and keep it running perfectly - with no hassle for you. You make one decision, and we take care of everything else. We call this Helente OnTrack.
Chassis
Helente X and R1 - our own aluminium-profile chassis, built for simulators like ours: strong wheelbase mounts, full motion and clean cable routing. We build every one of our simulators on them, and you can buy one on its own.
Store
Everything your simulator needs in one place - wheels, pedals, chassis, seats and every small part. The same gear we use in our top-tier simulators.
Customer service is friendly, responsive, and genuinely helpful - they clearly care about their customers.
