Sim Racing's Impenetrable Truth

Wednesday, October 28, 2026 • Duration 01:02:41

While the venerated Tom Harrison-Lord recovers from Expo disease, John Munro, Tom Bunten and Ross McGregor take over the show and talk a lot about carpets. In all seriousness, it was a bit of a quiet week in sim racing land, perhaps the calm after the storm.... But, that certainly doesn't mean a lack of discussion points. From BeamNG's cataclysmic PS5 launch and Le Mans Ultimates record-breaking weekend, to esports controversy and sim racing's deflating glass ceiling... The team discuss it all!
