From police officer to full-time sim racing creator! 🏁 In episode 27 of the Sim Racing Expo Podcast, Luke Crane sits down with Dave Cameron aka @davecamyt to discuss his journey from discovering sim racing again in 2017 to building one of the community’s most recognisable YouTube channels.

For our 25th episode, we're sitting down with someone who truly needs no introduction in the sim racing world: Aristotelis Vasilakos, better known as @ArisDrives and Chief Creative Officer at Straight4 Studios - @ProjectMotorRacing . With over a decade of experience shaping some of the most beloved titles in sim racing, Aris has been there from the early days of modding and community building all the way to working on landmark projects like Assetto Corsa and the Ferrari Virtual Academy. His journey is one of passion, persistence, and a deep love for the craft, starting at just 14 years old, when games like Gran Turismo and IndyCar by Papyrus first sparked his obsession with virtual motorsport. In this conversation, we go beyond the headlines and dive into the personal story behind one of sim racing's most respected voices. Aris opens up about what shaped his philosophy as a developer, why Assetto Corsa has remained a community cornerstone for over a decade, and how the 2020 pandemic unexpectedly became a turning point for sim racing as a serious platform, not just a hobby, but a legitimate pathway into professional motorsport. And of course, we look ahead. Aris shares exciting insights into what's coming at Straight4 Studios and where he sees the future of sim racing heading.

In this episode we're joined by Nina Braack, Manager Esports at Porsche Motorsport and the woman leading the Porsche Coanda Esports Racing Team, Porsche’s official Esports works squad in international sim racing. With Porsche Esports, she uses Sim Racing to reach a young, tech‑affine community far beyond traditional motorsports, allowing fans worldwide to race Porsche GT cars digitally and experience the brand in genuinely competitive environments. At the same time, she thinks far beyond pure marketing: for Nina, sim racing and Esports are high‑performance sport, where talent, training, tactics and teamwork decide just as much as in real‑world racing.
