Verified: CP-S Haptics is a confirmed component of the Cool Performance Formula Pro platform[View Source]

Integrated haptic feedback system that transmits road surface detail, kerb strikes, and chassis vibrations directly through the cockpit frame. Works in conjunction with the Leo Bodnar FFB system to provide a multi-channel immersion layer beyond steering feel alone.

Type Integrated Chassis Haptics
Channels Multi-point
[Motion] None Confirmed — Static Setup EstimatedStatic
⚠️ Note: D-Box G5 3DOF motion is available as an option on the Formula Simulator, but there is no evidence Sargeant has this installed. Most competitive drivers choose static setups.

No motion platform has been documented for Sargeant's personal rig. The Cool Performance Formula Simulator offers optional D-Box G5 3DOF haptic motion (Pitch, Roll, Heave with 1.5" stroke), but competitive sim racers typically prefer static rigs for minimal latency.
