This interview with RSC, published in 2021, details his early life and career, through both his own company, Papyrus, Electronic Arts, to his time at iRacing.
I’m slightly behind the curve posting this one, but last week TT Isle of Man 3 – Ride on the Edge released on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. The “open roads” feature allows users to explore 120+ miles on the Isle of Man and the game features Supersport and Superbike careers, 25 official riders, 39 Superbike and Supersport motorcycles, 32 tracks and 11 types of activities.
