The Traxion Control Sim Racing Podcast

Show Notes

Tom and Ross discuss the most important news in sim racing and video games over the past seven days, which this time includes significant Assetto Corsa EVO and F1 Sim Racing topics.

For the former, free-roam is set for an initial rollout soon, confirmed for its next early access update. Meanwhile, for the latter, the end could be nigh (in its current form, anyway) for the sport’s virtual pinnacle.

The duo also discusses Project Motor Racing and Rennsport’s recent updates, the next two Assetto Corsa release windows, the Genesis Magma Racing Esports Series on Le Mans Ultimate, and the recent SimRacing Expo announcements.
