Show Notes
Well, it's official. After pumping up Nacon's tyres two weeks ago, then last week covering its possible financial challenges, it's gone into insolvency... Sorry folks! Here, Thomas Harrison-Lord and Tom Bunten discuss the possible fallout and why it doesn't automatically mean the end. Then there's the related Rennsport and Nacon breakup, and another split, in the form of Maverick Games and Amazon - but neither spells the end either, and they analyse the new screenshot of the latter. Tom Bunten's initial iRacing Arcade impressions are also brought to the table. For sim racing fans, there's a new iRacing season on the way, and the duo go through your latest feedback.

More from The Traxion Control Sim Racing Podcast
The Traxion team is back from the SimRacing Expo Frankfurt 2026, with John Munro and Thomas Harrison-Lord downloading their (very tired) impressions.
Following its recent update, sim racing title RaceRoom now has the ability to take the platform to a whole new level.
Marco Massarutto, Co-Founder and Executive Manager at Kunos Simulazioni, speaks to Traxion about Assetto Corsa EVO’s free-roam mode, but also modding and important serious multiplayer racing features.
It's pandemonium at Traxion HQ as the team prepare for this years SimRacing Expo in Frankfurt. Clearly, it's equally frantic across the whole industry, as game developers and hardware manufacturers line up their latest new content launches, in time for the show.
A double dose of double-barreled Northerner today as John Danvers-Munro returns alongside Tom Harrison-Lord to discuss all things racing games and sim racing.
