On this episode of the Traxion.GG Podcast, we are joined by Jean-François Chardon, Head of Studio at KW Studios, responsible for RaceRoom Racing Experience.

We’ve been hands-on with an early preview build of the game at 2K’s London offices recently, hence this discussion, but also a full article on the Traxion.GG website and video on our YouTube Channel.

Why Williams Esports is about more than just competition | S5 E13
22 Nov 2022
00:50:57
Williams Esports carries the distinction of being Wiliams Racing’s only form of motorsport outside of Formula 1. The team competes in the pinnacle of single-seaters and racing esports. That’s it.
It shows just how intrinsically important virtual racing is to the Grove company, originally founded by Frank Williams in 1977.
Now under Dorilton Capital stewardship, its esports squad is pushing the limits of what’s achievable in sim racing – both in terms of the sheer quantity of events participated, but also driver training, education and media assistance.
It's these three aspects we wanted to dive deeper into. Yes, the team has found success across platforms such as iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione and even Rocket League, but it’s also investigating new ways of nurturing talent that pushes the whole environment forward.
Joining us for this episode of the Traxion.GG Podcast are:
Seb Hawkins - Team Manager, Williams Esports
Steven English - Director of Esports, Williams Racing
Ewan Lury - Esports Press Officer, Williams Esports

The Automobile Club de l'Ouest’s 24 Hours Hours of Le Mans will celebrate 100 years since its first running in 2023, but before then it will also honour its third ever 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual race too.

Yes, the same Motorsport Games group that Traxion.GG is part of, albeit editorially independent.
I visited its Northamptonshire esports bunker to go behind the scenes of the opening championship round – the 8 Hours of Bahrain.

RENNSPORT will shake sim racing establishment, CEO Morris Hebecker | S4 E11
02 Jun 2022
00:23:03
On this episode of the Traxion.GG podcast we are joined by Morris Hebecker, CEO and Co-founder of new sim racing platform RENNSPORT.
In this interview hear confirmation that the latter feature is not an NFT or blockchain-based venture and how you will be able to play an early build of this game sooner rather than later.
Think of it as a brand new driving game that simulates racing, aiming to be the next Assetto Corsa Competizione or RaceRoom Racing Experience. It is unique, however, built by a new studio using proprietary handling models mixed with Unreal Engine 5.
It’s PC-only for now, with a targeted release date before the end of 2023 including ranked online racing and VR support. The platform will also try to deliver a fresh take on racing esports through an ESL partnership, while simultaneously offering some form of mod marketplace, allowing content creators to earn revenue.
