As a direct ancestor of iRacing, the ‘Grand Prix Legends engine’ had multiple stock car racing false starts, before eventually releasing as NASCAR Racing 4. The original NASCAR 3, cancelled and replaced by one that used NASCAR 2’s engine, is barely remembered.
Video game development is full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about. Shawn Nash is a behind-the-scenes pioneer responsible for SODA Off Road Racing’s incredible physics, Papyrus’ graphical advancements and iRacing’s use of laser scan data for the physical track surfaces.
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.

Kunos today released update v1.5.6 for Assetto Corsa Competizione.
MULTIPLAYER:
– Fixed an issue with receiving a time penalty when a car was performing a pitstop would clear without getting added to the pitstop time.
– Server: fixed an issue in the server that would prevent the result.json to be populated by lap data when the server was restarted due to all clients disconnecting.
– Fix to the crash that occurred with the Chevrolet Camaro GT4R on driver swap.
– Server: fixed erroneous car visibility in certain situations with limited opponent visibility.PHYSICS:
– Fixed an issue when a puncture caused by excessive tyre wear would compromise the suspension geometry upon returning to the garage.
Similarly to other puncture scenarios (pressure loss and flatspotting), the punctured tyre is now “patched up” after a pitstop/in garage but remains in a critical condition and is not to be reused.
– Adjustments to wet tyre wear in different temperatures.UI:
– Corrected credits page image compression.
– More detailed tyre condition indicator in the Pitstop MFD page for used tyre sets
NOTE: ranges from white to black based on the worst property of the worst tyre of the set.
– Corrected an issue that prevented dry tyre set 1 to be selected in the pitstop MFD when the car was on wet tyres.
– Fixed UI leaderboard erroneously showing placeholder entry with no laptimes to show.GRAPHICS:
– Corrected windscreen wiper mask for the Mercedes-AMG GT4.
