1. A support for driving simulators comprising:
a rest base;
a lower plate having a rear portion coupled with said rest base and a front portion;
first movement means, interposed between the rest base and the front portion of the lower plate, configured to move the lower plate with respect to the rest base according to a pitching and/or rolling movement;
an upper plate arranged above the lower plate according to a vertical direction and having a central portion coupled with the lower plate;
a second movement means, interposed between the lower plate and the upper plate, configured to move the upper plate with respect to the lower plate, according to a yawing movement;
wherein the first movement means comprises a pair of linear actuators active on respective opposite sides of said front portion and selectively activable for raising or lowering the respective sides, leading to said pitching and rolling movement of the lower plate;
each of said linear actuators being coupled with said lower plate by respective coupling means that each comprises a vertical arm, which is arranged parallel to the respective linear actuator and secured to one side of the lower plate and a connecting arm interposed between said vertical arm and the respective linear actuator; said connecting arm having a first end coupled with the respective linear actuator and second end pivoted in a fixed position, wherein the vertical arm is coupled with the connecting arm between the first and the second end.
