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.
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.
This is some very cool content, and I’m delighted to see Raceroom grab another piece of superb content. The 911 RSR is one of my fav cars in sim racing (in rF2) and I’m looking forward to testing another developers take.

This track needs no introduction. As host of the annual Daytona 24h, it is one of the most popular tracks in the US. We started working on the track end of last year and hope to release it in Q2 of 2020.Porsche 911 RSR (2019)
We promised you another Porsche race car coming this year, and with the 911 RSR we check off the last remaining puzzle piece in the current Porsche Motorsport lineup. Running in the GTE / GTLM class, this car will bring a new dimension to RaceRoom, we are sure you will enjoy!
