Project Motor Racing’s launch was… sub-optimal, to be kind. Graphics issues, strange collisions, unreliable multiplayer and an uninspired career mode were layered over inconsistent driving dynamics. A hot mess, Traxion delivered a 5/10 verdict. Since then, however, a spate of patches, updates and hotfixes have tried to quell our concerns, and later this month, a ‘Patch 2.0’ will be released. To understand what went wrong, and what the future holds, here’s a frank interview with Kevin Boland, Founder and Chief Development Officer at PMR creator Straight4 Studios.

Well, it's official. After pumping up Nacon's tyres two weeks ago, then last week covering its possible financial challenges, it's gone into insolvency... Sorry folks! Here, Thomas Harrison-Lord and Tom Bunten discuss the possible fallout and why it doesn't automatically mean the end. Then there's the related Rennsport and Nacon breakup, and another split, in the form of Maverick Games and Amazon - but neither spells the end either, and they analyse the new screenshot of the latter. Tom Bunten's initial iRacing Arcade impressions are also brought to the table. For sim racing fans, there's a new iRacing season on the way, and the duo go through your latest feedback.

Rudy van Buren has twice finished on the podium this season in the highly competitive Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland, but his career path to this point has been far from conventional.  Starting out in karting, Rudy then focused his effort on sim racing, where his natural talent shone through. This culminated in two GPVWC titles in 2017, the Superleague and International Touring Cup and winning the inaugural World's Fastest Gamer competition to become the McLaren F1 team's simulator driver for 2018.  The 29-year-old Dutchman came third in the GT Pro Series and become a Mahindra simulator development driver in 2020 - a role he still holds today, with aspirations of having a test soon.  In our latest podcast episode, Thomas Harrison-Lord speaks to the talented esports and motorsport competitor on the differences between sim and reality.  Visit Traxion for the last esports news and race reports: https://traxion.gg/category/esports/ Follow Rudy: https://twitter.com/rvburen Support the show Learn more about your ad choices.

Last week, Motorsport Games spoke to IGN about the upcoming NASCAR game, the first in an all-new series that replaces the existing NASCAR Heat franchise.  Utilising the tyre and handling physics of PC-sim platform rFactor 2 and the Unreal game engine for graphics, a selection of static images has been revealed showing off the new look and additional attention to detail.  Not much else has been revealed, other than the working title of ‘NASCAR 21’ and the inclusion of a detailed paint booth for customer paint scheme creation.  Joining us this week is NASCAR expert and journalist Justin Melillo to comb through the finer details of the details, plus a look back at the Heat series and a current round up of official NASCAR content within existing titles.  Think of this as a current NASCAR-in-gaming state of play plus our hopes and dreams for the upcoming release.  First teaser images unveiled for next NASCAR game: https://traxion.gg/first-teaser-images-unveiled-for-next-nascar-game/ Support the show Learn more about your ad choices.

The biggest feature of the F1 2021 game is arguable the all-new Braking Point narrative-led mode.  Playing through a story that mixes cinematics, incidental details and gameplay challenges, you take on the role of young upstart, Aiden Jackson, as he progresses from Formula 2 to a midfield Formula 1 team.  You get to select from one of five F1 teams to partner with and joining you as an experienced teammate is Casper ‘Cas’ Akkerman. It’s not just two characters though, as antagonist Devon Butler from F1 2019 makes a comeback, and there’s also Zoe Akkerman and team liaison Brian Doyle to deal with.  In this episode of the Traxion.GG Podcast, Thomas Harrison-Lord and Rich Hutson discuss the highs, the lows, the good, the bad and whether overall, they would recommend playing this new story.  Here’s a very mild spoiler warning, but not key character or story elements are discussed, mainly mechanics and overall sentiment.  For more on F1 2021, visit the Traxion website, where we have our full game review, help, advice and videos: https://traxion.gg/category/games/f1-2021/ Support the show Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s been a long journey, from Early Access back in 2018, to PS4 and Xbox One versions in 2020 and finally – for now – the British GT DLC in 2021, but Assetto Corsa Competizione seems to be in the form of its life right now. With extraordinarily active player counts, and next-gen PS5 and Xbox Series X version slated for later in the year, this latest episode of The Traxion Podcast explores why such a serious game that only includes one slightly obscure racing series has become such a smash it for developer KUNOS-Simulazioni and publisher 505 Games. If you’re already playing it extensively, we discuss the highs and lows and if you have not yet tried it, then let us regale you with tales of why it is so good.

We’re back with a brand new episode of the Traxion.GG podcast, and this week we discuss games that have aged like a fine wine. Dodgy episode title aside, this is pertinent, as we live in an age where games are updated, refined, patched and added to post-launch, which means that the original Metacritic becomes less and less relevant. ‘Games as a service’ is a term that exists. Some simulators work on a subscription basis. Games have a second life beyond the initial release. So, here are just some games that we think fit the bill as something that has got better with age. Like Ryan Gosling or Sienna Miller, but in video game form. Be sure to let us know some games that you think have got better the older they become and we may revisit this topic in a future episode.

Jon Armstrong is a busy person. Alongside competing in the 2021 Junior World Rally Championship alongside co-driver Phil Hall for the Codemasters DiRT Rally Team, he’s also a game designer at Codemasters during the week.    For those who perhaps aren’t aware, Jon starting rallying and working is way up the championships, competing in Ireland, the British Rally Championship, the Junior European Rally Championship, and then onto the Drive DMACK Cup and the WRC 2 competition.  But then, faced with the difficulty of raising the budget required to compete at the very top of rallying, he turned to esports, winning the 2018 (and finishing second in 2019) WRC esports competition. This then led to working on the later stages of DiRT Rally 2.0 development, a full-time role at the company and now the opportunity to compete on the world stage once again.    The season is going well too, winning the first JWRC round on the Croatia Rally. With all of that in mind, we talked to Jon on this latest podcast episode, discussing his early career, sim rallying and his curent JWRC season so far.  Support the show Learn more about your ad choices.

F1 2021, this season’s official Formula 1 game, has been revealed by EA and Codemasters and there is plenty to talk about – not least of which the title releasing on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC.The lead feature seems to be Braking Point, a brand-new story mode featuring the return of Devon Butler who first appeared in F1 2019. That game was the first attempt by the F1 games to introduce a story, and while it was fun, it was over in a flash.Tellingly, the trailer focuses purely on this element of the game. No gameplay or in-game screens have been revealed at this point, and the video is a snazzy CGI affair that hints at intense rivalries which will be against fictional racers Devon Butler, Aiden Jackson, and Casper Akkerman.Last season’s game introduced the superb My Team mode where you could create your own team and rise through the ranks. There’s very little information in the way of any improvements to that for 2021, although its return is confirmed.What is new, however, is a two-player career. Assuming this is online, you and a friend can play this either co-operatively or competitively. To us, that indicates being able to race through a career, but perhaps not My Team, on either the same or opposing teams.The Algarve, Imola and Jeddah circuits are to be included, but as a free update post-launch. Speaking of free, there will be a free next-gen upgrade for those who purchase on either PS4 or Xbox One, further details on any exclusions are to follow.Last of the ‘big ticket’ items is the ‘Real-Season Start’ which allows players to jump into a season that reflects the current live standings of the real-world F1 year. How that works if some of the tracks are being added later though, remains to be seen.There are plenty of other smaller details, though, which you may see on the pre-order landing pages.Alongside the standard edition, a Deluxe Edition will be available which provides three days early access and a suite of cosmetic bonuses. Of which victory radio calls are included and seven iconic drivers to “enhance you’re my Team game experience”. Both are very intriguing to us, and we hope to find out how these work closer to the release date.Likewise, assist options, driver stats and multiplayer are said to be “refined”, but little is known about exactly how at this date. Split-screen, shorter seasons and F2 all return from the last game, but again, there’s no confirmation which F1 season is included at launch.The game launches on all platforms on the 16th July 2021 – unless you order the Deluxe Edition for $15/£15 extra – and stay tuned as we’ll have lots of F1 2021 information and opinions coming very soon.

KartKraft, a karting simulator currently in Early Access on PC, has been making waves in the sim community of late thanks to its staggering attention to detail and realistic driving physics.    Recently acquired by Motorsport Games, we spoke to the Director of Studio for the newly formed Motorsport Games Australia to learn more about the game's origins story, but also what the future holds.    Quite a lot it turns out. Wet weather, ranked online racing, a new circuit and assists for those new to the genre. Plus, maybe even console versions further down the line.    Listen to this latest Traxion interview to hear what it’s like to be a formerly independent game developer with an idea and how that dream is about to be realised.  Support the show Learn more about your ad choices.

A controversial topic, spurred on by the GT World Challenge using esports to form part of the Teams’ Championship points within 2021 and with many esports competitions previously offering real-world driving or training, we dive in head-first on the latest Traxion Podcast episode.  Does sim racing open more doors? Is there a genuine crossover between the virtual world and the real one? What skills are transferable, if any? To help navigate us through this potential minefield, our very own John Munro is a sim racer and a real racer – which is handy!  Please join the debate, we’d love to hear your thoughts, so please, comment below and let us know what you think. Will esports have a place on a traditional motorsport career ladder?  The Traxion Podcast is available on all major podcast outlets.

In this episode of the Traxion podcast, we’re here to discuss games that time has not been kind to. These are great racing games that were over-looked and now time has forgotten them.  Well, time might have, but us three nerds haven’t! This is a good one, even if we do say so ourselves, as we dip into the memory bank of nostalgia to each pick out two racing titles that deserved more. We’d love to hear your thoughts, so please, reply on social media or in the YouTube comments what your favourite hidden gem racing games are – we’d love to know!The Traxion Podcast is available on all major podcast outlets.

Juan Pablo Montoya’s motorsport achieves are varied and very well known. You are probably aware of them already, but just for the avoidance of doubt... International F3000 champion 1998, CART series champion 1999, two Indy 500 wins in 2000 and 2015, seven Formula 1 race victories including the Monaco Grand Prix, two NASCAR Cup Series race triumphs, the Race of Champions, three 24 Hours of Daytona victories and an IMSA SportsCar Championship as recently as 2019. Oh, and of course, the 1993 Suzuki Swift GTI Championship.  Now he can add an interview for Traxion about esports and sim race to his glowing résumé. Watch as Juan Pablo discusses this year’s 12 Hours of Sebring, his upcoming return to the Indianapolis 500 and how sim racing compares to real life motorsports.

As we approach the start of another Formula 1 season, the Traxion team go back in time to discuss their favourite F1 game memories, spanning three generations of games.  The F1 games have a long and storied history, with titles on the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and GameBoy, plus the storied Grand Prix games on PC by Geoff Crammond. The full history of premier class single-seater motorsports deserves a separate podcast all to itself, but in this episode, we don the rose-tinted glasses to discuss our personal favourites and our earliest F1 video game memories.  Join us on this nostalgia trip.

This is going to sting a little. But it's okay, only for 45 minutes or so. You see, in the latest episode of the Traxion podcast, we discuss what we think are the best cars in games. We know, it's contentious and you definitely disagree with us. This is why we put a little twist on proceeding. So, we each get to pick what we think is the best car in gaming, and then which cars we think are underrated, finally, we pick three that we think are OP.
