Show Notes
When Corsair announced it was acquiring Trak Racer's assets as part of a 50 million dollar buyout, you would be forgiven for thinking it was the biggest gaming purchasing of the week. Now, multiply that figure by 1000...... Nope, you still haven't reached the figures involved in another buyout this week...
We already knew EA was being taken over by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake and Affinity Partners, but the 55 Billion dollar deal is finally done.
Join new double-barrel buddies Tom Harrison-Lord and John Danvers-Munro as they discuss these two seismic takeovers, and ponder both Hyundai's virtual "e-shifts", and an indie driving game that could well be the surprise success of the year.

Following its recent update, sim racing title RaceRoom now has the ability to take the platform to a whole new level.

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.
