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.
