Last week, Tom and Tom travelled to Germany for Gamescom 2026, and the racing game industry was firing on all cylinders! In this episode, they discuss their initial thoughts on CLUTCH, Maverick Games upcoming open-world driving game debutant.

Plus, opinions on ‘the brand that can’t be ignored’ Moza, with its latest showcase of flashy future products, and a Crazy Taxi preview that split opinions.

Oh, and while the GamesTom crew were in Germany, John was at home crashing his way through some Assetto Corsa EVO races, and iRacing dropped some interesting updates regarding it’s upcoming career mode.
